Config file

[ghost]

Due to not being able to scan the local network i unplugged it while in the config page... eventhough it loades it cannot save because the network shares are not available but if i enable the network it cannot save because it hangs... see other issue. so when the paths of the comics is not found it could be nice to save... maybe give a warning and present the user to save anyway instead of the error also when the server needs restarting why does it not ask the user if it want to restart?

[ghost]

ow also broken are the html5 reader and the library section is empty while there are 1362 comics present...

i wish i hadn't reinstalled osx from 10.11.0 to 10.11.2...
1.11.0 was working :/.

The work around for scanning from a network share with the broken version is to

unmount network share disable network use extrnal usb drive with volume name same as share (see /Volumes/ folder) scan locally. stop comicserver Disconnect drive connect network mount share and start conicsteamer

[ghost]

Forgot to mention, i have no internet. That could be the problem, is it trying to update/download/check something online? maybe not your code but the library you are using? but I have no way to check it out if it works normal "with"... or a debug log... The scanning works perfectly when there is no wifi or ethernet connection... (probably generalise that to no network connection) en the reading works perfectly with a network connection. Still pain in the ass when adding new comics to disconnect all network connections and rescan... I dislike manual labor... (still like to use my hand tough, maybe the term is "extra" manual labor)... So it is only half broken. I guess... but is this project still "a-live?" Anybody out there? Or do I talk to the "incredible interwoven machine" again :-) Happens sometime... ow btw... PDF support would be nice! there is probably a library who can give you a jpg page from a pdf... which comicserver could use... that would be awesome!!!

[ghost]

Ow and pleeaaaase help! Or do something to kickstart this project!

[ghost]

Don't make awesome shit and quit!

It's a bit daunting having real work (well, at least a bit..) on a fork and having the issue tracker on the (dead) original repo. :-D Maybe we should reboot the project...

[Nataschrist]

I had no intention of wasting your time. I sincerely apologize if that's what you're inferring.

[ghost]

I vote for reboot... we should ask github (or beville) to make i think you (d.r.) owner...

if somesome will help with sqlalchemy to get mysql running (the delete is not working)

i have a new gui (almost finished, could use some css advice though) i have a cache (speeds up things alot)

and lots of bug fixes in the pipeline..

we probably could release a new version which is a lot faster.

Prototype:

Broken cache, mysql not working... new gui direction will post a working forks when I am beter and online again... (not using phone access to server & code)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12474226/ToiletStreamer-0.9.4.dmg

ow btw... the whole toilet is a joke for my friend who spends way to much time there...

Crap Source https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12474226/ToiletStreamerOld.zip

Example page (screenshots):

http://???/Toiletstreamer/

Anyway there is a database copy.py which contains the mysql code, to enable rename it to database.py and in server.py change

    self.dm = DataManager()

into self.dm = DataManager(config)

I can not get the delete to function... also it seems that no comics are ever deleted...

Cache is very old code, I used this to check if it really speeded things up... hacked in...

Gui, I have to adjust font sizes... still not sure how things work when scaling...

So this is my prototype, I am up for a reboot, if somebody fixes the mysql code, somebody helps with those #$% css stuff...

will post normal github forks when online (dropbox is just in case i am not getting better, internet goes offline, or... or I go blind, or... start my own evil-comic empire har har

Hey Tristan79, are you ever going to prepare a Windows release for ToiletStreamer? I don't know nearly enough about coding to compile the source code myself (I don't even know enough to know if your new code COULD be compiled for Windows...) but I use ComicStreamer very frequently, and would love to see what you've added. It's a great program, but it could use a GUI update and some new features (like multi-user reading progress tracking).

[ghost]

You do not have to compile it...

install python 2.7 (not 3.x) for windows

download the master zip file https://github.com/Tristan79/ComicStreamer/archive/master.zip or clone with github... remove the line 18 of requirements.txt (pybonjour==1.1.1) since you have to install that manually and you probably will not need it...

https://github.com/Tristan79/ComicStreamer/blob/master/requirements.txt#L18

run inside the (unzipped) ComicStreamer folder

pip install requirements.txt

tot install the missing python packages...

and for the pdf support you need http://mupdf.com/downloads/ mutool.exe installed and in your path

and change the file comicapi/comicarchive.py

the lines (615 and 655) https://github.com/Tristan79/ComicStreamer/blob/master/comicapi/comicarchive.py#L655 https://github.com/Tristan79/ComicStreamer/blob/master/comicapi/comicarchive.py#L615

such that 'mudraw' is 'mutool draw'

and then run: python comicstreamer

that should work i hope, I do not have windows :-)

And the web is still not finished :-) but i rather fix the mysql and the caching part... both speeded things up a lot :-) but i got sick, before i could finish it, my own server is down for month cuz there are still some files it crashes on... (like 1 in every 10.000 :-) maybe februari i am going to spent some time on this :-)

Post here if you experiencing any troubles!

[LucidusAtra]

Okay, so I'm in an elevated cmd prompt. I navigate to the unzipped folder. I've changed line 18 of requirements.txt. And then, I try to do a pip install and get the message:

"Collecting requirements.txt Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement requirements.txt (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for requirements.txt"

I also tried python -m pip install <the full path of requirements.txt> I get a different message;

"Invalid requirement: 'C:\Users\Zack\Desktop\ComicStreamer-master\requirements.txt' It looks like a path. Does it exist ?"

[ghost]

ok i think its

pip install -r requirements.txt

and if that does not work try

pip install python-dateutil pip install argh pip install backports.ssl-match-hostname pip install certifi pip install configobj pip install natsort pip install pathtools pip install Pillow pip install PyPDF2 pip install python-dateutil pip install PyYAML pip install six pip install SQLAlchemy pip install tornado pip install unrar pip install watchdog pip install paver pip install pylzma

python-dateutil==2.4.2

I must be on the right track though, right?

Wow, thanks for replying so quickly!

So the command was python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

You were right, the -r flag was required to specify to pip that I wanted to install multiple packages from a requirements file. So it went through the installation and everything seemed to be going fine until the very end, when I got:

"error: Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat). Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27

Command "C:\Python27\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='c:\users\zack\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-hf1qfy\pylzma\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install --record c:\users\zack\appdata\local\temp\pip-omvymb-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\zack\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-hf1qfy\pylzma"

Looks like I'm on the right track. python comicstreamer gets me this;

"C:\Users\Zack\Desktop\ComicStreamer-master>python comicstreamer Traceback (most recent call last): File "comicstreamer", line 6, in from comicstreamerlib.main import main File "C:\Users\Zack\Desktop\ComicStreamer-master\comicstreamerlib\main.py", line 15, in from server import APIServer File "C:\Users\Zack\Desktop\ComicStreamer-master\comicstreamerlib\server.py", line 41, in from comicapi.comicarchive import * File "C:\Users\Zack\Desktop\ComicStreamer-master\comicapi\comicarchive.py", line 12, in from unrar import rarfile File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\unrar\rarfile.py", line 26, in from unrar import unrarlib File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\unrar\unrarlib.py", line 45, in unrarlib = ctypes.WinDLL(lib_path) File "C:\Python27\lib\ctypesinit.py", line 362, in init self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode) WindowsError: [Error 126] The specified module could not be found"

So it won't run quite yet. But we're close, I think.

[LucidusAtra]

I followed that link and installed the C++ compiler for python, then ran the pip install again and got Plyzma to install!

Now, python comicstreamer gets me this:

"Traceback (most recent call last): File "comicstreamer", line 6, in from comicstreamerlib.main import main File "C:\Users\Zack\Desktop\ComicStreamer-master\comicstreamerlib\main.py", line 15, in from server import APIServer File "C:\Users\Zack\Desktop\ComicStreamer-master\comicstreamerlib\server.py", line 41, in from comicapi.comicarchive import * File "C:\Users\Zack\Desktop\ComicStreamer-master\comicapi\comicarchive.py", line 12, in from unrar import rarfile File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\unrar\rarfile.py", line 26, in from unrar import unrarlib File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\unrar\unrarlib.py", line 45, in unrarlib = ctypes.WinDLL(lib_path) File "C:\Python27\lib\ctypes__init.py", line 362, in init__ self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode) WindowsError: [Error 126] The specified module could not be found"

I was so sure it would run this time! Any ideas?

[ghost]

after the requirements you still have to install:

pip install image pip install sqlalchemy

i am trying it out on a virtual machine, but i am already 8 hours! in just installing a visual studio c++ compiler

[LucidusAtra]

pip install image seemed to install something called django-1.10.4 and image-1.5.5 pip install sqlalchemy gave me a "requirement already satisfied" message.

python comicstreamer gives the same error message as before.

It's taken you 8 hours to install the c++ compiler? Wow!

[ghost]

i am not that fast,... i was downloading the sdk windows 10, and just found the link to python and c++, which i wish i found that earlier... %^$ 8 hours its busy... my notebook fan is spinning like a turbine :-) and i can't install the python c++ (if i need it) while the other is installing...

it probably missing the unrar.dll (which is in the package under comicapi/...both the 64 bit and the 32 bit version)

https://github.com/Tristan79/ComicStreamer/tree/master/comicapi/UnRAR2/UnRARDLL

the copy the unrar.dll to the c:\windows\system32 folder

do not know how it works for the 64x dll one... i still have like 3 pixels left installing...

ok, i copied the renamed 64bit filesUnRAR64.dll and UnRAR64.lib to

c:\python2.7\ c:\python2.7\DLLs c:\Windows\System32\ c:\Windows\SysWOW64

one of them hit the sweet spot...

also removed the line

https://github.com/Tristan79/ComicStreamer/blob/master/comicstreamer#L4

and its running still not a package, but he! its something :-)

and did i mention the web is not finished :-)

i think the answer is

You should download the UnRAR.dll Library from http://www.rarlab.com/ rar/UnRARDLL.exe and extract it anywhere in your PATH

Edit: You should set the UNRAR_LIB_PATH environment variable with the location of unrar.dll

Edit2: As a last resort:

1. extract UnRARDLL.exe into C:\Program Files (x86)\UnrarDLL\
2. if you're using Python2.7 64bit, select UnRAR64.dll and UnRAR64.lib files from C:\Program Files (x86)\UnrarDLL\x64 and rename them to unrar.dll and unrar.lib
3. copy them in C:\Windows\System32.
4. if you're using a 32bit version of python, simply copy unrar.dll and unrar.lib from C:\Program Files (x86)\UnrarDLL\ to C:\Windows\ System32
