Freezing On Boot After Adding Dictionary? #303

Closed seniorm0ment closed 1 year ago

seniorm0ment commented 1 year ago

After adding the stardict dictionary from here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BoboTiG/ebook-reader-dict/master/docs/en/README.md

By unzipping (not the dictionary but just the archive download so there's the multiple files), and placing all the files into plato/dictionaries

Upon launching plato, kfmon says launching and the device just freezes. Wait a minute and nothing.

Force reboot the kobo, attach to pc and delete the files from the dictionaries folder and eject. Plato works no issues.

Kobo Libra 2

StarDict dictionaries are converted to dictd via convert-dictionary.sh. This process might take a very long time on an e-reader. If you have access to a computer, I would recommend converting the dictionaries yourself.

Ah ok, so it is simply converting them upon load. I will report back when I get it working

seniorm0ment commented 1 year ago

This seemed to work thanks

How did you exactly add the dictionary? I put the 'dict' version in the plato/dictionaries (uncompressed) and nothing happened.

If you mean the DictFile version, then the outcome is expected. The only supported formats are dictd and StarDict.
