it be nice if you could add comicvine metadata thought there api everyone would need to grab there own api key but is very easy to do

How do you see the data from the api mapping to the fields used in ABS?

I have also seen on both of my comics that an XML file is included inside the cbz/cbr that has some metadata. That metadata could be easily grabbed, but I'm not sure the best way to map metadata for comics.

I just cleaned up the e-readers and added a button to show the metadata from the cbz/cbr file.

There are 4 metatags here I could see mapping to the current details..

Series => Series
Publisher => Publisher
Summary => Description
Genre => Genre ??

Then possibly Volume, but I don't know if this is consistently a year in comic book world.

Hi @advplyr , Just wanted to bring to attention this - https://github.com/Casvt/Kapowarr/blob/development/backend/comicvine.py where Kapowarr uses comicvine to get comic metadata and gets them in a results dictionary (Lines 279-293), which can be adapted to the audiobookshelf metadata format. Adding this as a Metadata provider, would make metadata tagging for comics much, much easier.
