You're right, the redirect is based on the browser's user agent. I was using Firefox but when I switched to Chome, the proper page came up. It's too bad BN doesn't have a reader-specific page, like Newspaper Direct, instead of the mobile page that is formatted for cell phones.

So question for the devs if they are still watching this thread:

How are UDS plugins expected to handle integrating document metadata into main DB? Are we just expected to use the (deprecated) libermetadb to push it in ourselves?

Since it looks like mdbindex or some other process will be inserting metadata for files automatically in the next DR800 firmware, is this going to be something fixed in place, or will it work around using the UDS plugins to extract the title/author?

This seems to be the one area where there isn't quite enough documentation/samples to get a clear idea what we are expected to do, as the samples don't set any metadata, the documentation says nothing but 'here is libermetadb', and libermetadb says "I'm deprecated in the areas you care about."

Good to see you're eager to get your hands dirty.

The next firmware includes a rewritten libermetadb which is much easier to use. The indexer will call UDS and plugins to retrieve meta data and generate thumbnails. The interfaces are not final yet, but we'll be happy to provide details when things have settled.

[Kolenka]

That's fine, I'm just curious if it is even worth my time to hack together some function to stuff things into the DB now, or just wait for the 3.x update to fully support metadata in CBZ.

Now if only progressive JPEGs weren't so much slower to load.

No, plugins are not supposed to access the database directly. UDS queries metadata through the document attributes. An example of this is indeed missing in the Poppler PDF plugin. You should do something like this:

doc_attr_map.insert(std::make_pair("title", "TITLE GOES HERE"));
doc_attr_map.insert(std::make_pair("author", "AUTHOR GOES HERE"));
// For the next release:
doc_attr_map.insert(std::make_pair("publisher", "PUBLISHER GOES HERE"));

Search for make_pair("fixed-page", "yes") in the example code (PDF/IMAGES) for an example of how to create document attributes.

[Kolenka]

I was hoping it would use the document attributes, but didn't see anything about which attributes translated to what in the samples. Thanks.

Just a quick heads up.

The SDK and Source packages of DR800S(G) and DR1000S 2.0 (RC2) software are available from our developer website. You'll need to look in the version 4.0 folders. As it is still a Release Candidate, the files will be updated once the release is final.

Happy hacking!

Oops, I made a new thread because I didn't notice your post in this thread Gertjan. Thanks for the SDK, I can't wait to get the DjVu plugin running again

[CoolDragon]

So the SDK 4.0 is for both DR800 and DR1000?

[luite]

Yes, but the emulator image seems to contain only the DR800 software. I just built an updated DjVu plugin (*) with the new SDK, which works on both the DR800 and DR1000.

(*) Preview posted here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...t=73790&page=2

[CoolDragon]

A side question: how do you simulate the hardware buttons in the emulator?

[luite]

The hardware buttons are mapped to regular keys, try the following ones:
- arrow keys
- page up / page down / home / end (for long keypresses)
- F1
- enter

Thanks Gertjan and all IREX people for making this.
Hope you and the whole company people (and the company itself if is possible) stay well.

Thanks a lot,

Btw, I've noted there isn't a "libs" directory in "iRex" folder, so all liber* libs (libergtk, liberipc, etc) are missing yet.

Oops, the access rights were not set up correctly. Thanks for pointing that out.
