rakuyomi: a manga reader for KOReader

[Philippe92]

Hello! I have been having a blast with your plugin!! thank you so much. I have been going through some of my childhood mangas.. hehe.

However, I noticed recently that the plugin is having a pb getting launched. It says "Document is empty (0)". Anyone else experiencing that problem? It usually happens after I download some chapters.. It usually works again when I delete all the downloaded chapters and reboot KOReader, but this time when I try I get the following message "Something went wrong: an error occured while downloading the chapter pages". Any tips would be welcome

I tried 1.11.4 on Paperwhite running Koreader HF. It worked at the first time, but I did mistake in Settings file. It said that the sources format is invalid and thenis no longer displayed in Search menu. I tried to remove and reinstall the plugin, reenable it - nothing helped.

Guys a warning for you, I think rakuyomi bricked my kindle. It's stuck on a page and isn't responsive at all. I recommend you don't use this plugin.

That probably just means KOReader is stuck.

“Brick” is when you hold down power button for 30+ seconds and it starts to reboot in a loop

EDIT: Nevermind, KOReader wasn't connecting to the internet.

I think I'm just dumb. But can you help me? I've created the json file with the url and put the folder on the plugins folder, and still I can't see the app on koreader.

this is the log:

Hello, I am struggling for KOreader to find -anything- in sources with my settings.json file. No errors obtained, no extra messages. Just not finding any sources whatsoever.

I have a jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen on firmware 5.17.1.0.4 (4351970007).

• I have tried Rakuyomi v1.11.4 and v1.11.3.
• I have tried both the primary Aidoku source url/json and a backup source also for Aidoku. I joined the discord server, with no real information to assist already present for Rakuyomi.

I have noticed that the default Rakuyomi settings.json example on github includes a URL containing /main/settings.schema.json. However, when visiting this url I receive "error "Not Found"".

• I have tried copying the download URL from v1.11.3 and v1.11.4 into the configuration file.
• Have verified encoding is UTF-8 as well, using notepad++ and separately with an online json formatter.
• I have also placed the settings.json file under /koreader/plugins/rakuyomi.koplugin/ with the kindle version transferred to internal storage.

I have verified koreader settings are connected to wifi, and have verified from my network that my koreader instance on my kindle is detected on the network and able to transfer packets.





Redacting URLs to be careful, as I am new to this forum:

{
  "$schema": "https://github.url/download/main/settings.schema.json",
  "source_lists": [
    "https://source.url/index.min.json"
  ],
  "languages": ["en"]
}

• I have also tried "https://github.url/download/v1.11.4/settings.schema.json",
  and
• I have also tried "https://github.url/download/v1.11.3/settings.schema.json",

For the relative version being attempted at the time.


Is my formatting wrong, has the source died, etc? I am stumped.

• Perhaps it is possible to download these files locally and change the directory to local storage instead of a url? Have not tried, not familiar enough with the newly obtained kindle to know the directory formatting. I imagine it is similar to android for directories?
  
• Any input/feedback is appreciated.

I figure it out!

One more question, can you add sources from other sourcers like Suwayomi or only Aidoku?

Out of sheer curiosity, what fixed it for you?

Edit: nvm, I can get the app to load, just no sources.

This is my first time using this and everything is fine but It is not saving properly. For example I am on chapter 2 and there is a book icon on chapter 1 yet when i open chapter 2 it is at the right location but I don't want to have to memorize which chapter I am on for each manga.
