mdr

PC tool to replace the auto-update/download features of Tachiyomi extensions post v0.15.2. This serves as a tool to help collate content for PLEXing to self hosted content servers such as Kavita/Komga and is intended to be used with them.

Dependencies

• pip install selenium
  • Used to render JavaScript webpages
  • Used to navigate/parse HTML pages
  • Used to interact with JavaScript pages

Usage

This is currently a work in progress and can be buggy (specifically if MAX_THREADS is not 1 in main.py) due to webpage load times. APIs are not used when accessing MangaDex meaning that the page is loaded and parsed with Selenium instead. For examples of how to download a specific chapter/title, refer to handler_mangadex.py.

For trying to batch download run main.py. This requires a file (by default library_links.txt) located in the root directory. Feel free to change constants in main.py to modify behavior. It's format is like

https://mangadex.org/title/XXXX
https://mangadex.org/title/XXXX
https://mangadex.org/title/XXXX
https://mangadex.org/title/XXXX

If you have a .tachibk file, extract it and parse it with gen_urls.sh.

Status

Working MangaDex downloader for English.
