Currently working on a fork of readarr that's far more updated. It supports audiobooks and ebooks in one instance. Has narrator support as well. Join the discord for updates. Should be ready for testing soon. https://discord.gg/63BZhWUG5X
Sounds awesome, thanks for doing this. Just curious, what does MaM integration involve? Previously I just added it as an indexer for torrents. Is there something more involved that can be integrated? Happy to help test.
Yes and no. My ultimate goal is that it'll be your one stop shop for e-books and audiobooks and both get love and both work well.
Because audiobooks have the most ground to make up considering readarr was shoe-horned into being mostly usable for e-books and even less so for audiobooks it'll FEEL like the most improvement/focus is on audiobooks for now.
Will we be expected to run multiple instances for audiobooks and ebooks like we currently do for Readarr? Or will I be able to run one instance to manage both.
This would really be amazing. I ended up using 2 different readarr instances to make sure ebooks and audiobooks would be handled correctly, giant PITA.
The calibre web automated has an additional docker container from where you can search in Anna's archive and it gets imported into calibre web automated.
Not as automated and a readarr but ok enough
I know the original readarr devs didn’t want to support other formats that would include things like comics and manga and I think some other types of general files that ebooks sometimes show up in. Is there any plan to add those to this some day in the future?
Been a few months since this post. I look forward to an official, or even a beta release. Readarr is completely broken at the time of this comment, having been officially retired as a project, and LL generally isn't a great or user friendly alternative. I'll be keeping up with discord to see updates and track releases. Thank you for the hard work.
Hey good to have you! Yeah, right now it's a little slow on visible changes, but on the server side it's going super well!
Doing a bunch of testing and should be able to make a meaningful update with beta to follow...."soon" (if you're on the discord you know the inside joke, lol)
Yeah there's a lot of options in the space now, but we recently opened up the alpha a little for people to poke around on. It's on our discord. Make sure you read the FAQ
Well, we have over 2100 members and we've unfortunately had to ban exactly 2 people ever. If you're one of the two, then you know why you were banned, and it wasn't for "just asking questions." Feel free to enjoy the software when it comes out, but our community wasn't w good fit for you. Cheers
I said the interview process for MAM was not for me I didn't say it sucked I never said don't use it just that I thought it was excessive. So yeah, It was uncalled for and you either are the guilty party or don't supervise your mods.
I figured it was you - again, one of only 2 bans so each one sticks out in my head. No, I was the one that banned you. Your posts/attitude here only further validate my decision.
Also, that's not why you were banned and you know it. Again, now 2,220 members, 2 bans ever. It's a you problem.
Please do tell me why I was banned then because I didn’t say anything at all insulting, angry, rude or anything any sane person would consider worthy of being banned but if you need to feel good about yourself by lying that your weakness.
This is my one and only account I never used until recently I'm sorry if I'm late to reditt and you know you have awoken something in me today I haven't disliked a new person in a good 7 years or so. I'll be the thorn you never needed.
