Manga Chapters #47

Hello :),

Is it also possible to add (and receive metadata) for single chapters. I've only managed to match full volumes. capture

hmhrex commented 7 years ago

This is not something I've thought of actually. Right now Tenma uses Comic Vine as the metadata source. Currently Comic Vine doesn't store chapter information, so I wouldn't be able to get the information for you. However, if there is another source for manga metadata (with an API), that might be able to happen.

Is it a common thing to have manga files split by chapter? I've only seen them by volume.

calgara12 commented 7 years ago

Usually every manga is split by chapters, at least for all the ones I've read. Every Manga app focuses on splitting mangas by chapters. Not all mangas come in volumes.

As for a manga metadata source you could look into https://kitsu.io they also have an api http://docs.kitsu.apiary.io

I would really love to use your app, because out of everything that I tried, this looks by far the best. Keep up the great work :)

Interesting. I will put this as a possibility and look into it further. Thanks!
