2 weeks ago CBZ is supported at the parser level but there is currently no image-only rendering engine in Thorium. The Divina file format is supported as a zipped publication package, and Thorium uses a third-party dedicated rendering engine for it. Although some underlying component in the software stack supports resource streaming, Thorium itself was designed for packaged publications that are imported into a reserved filesystem and streamed from a local server. This part of the software architecture would need to be refactored in order to support resource streaming from remote servers. PS: regarding CBZ comics, perhaps we could convert the images and metadata format into Divina and just rely on the existing Divina rendering engine?
It would be awesome if this application also supported comics.
The basic "cbz" file is just zip archive of images with an implicit order based on image file names. I think the OPDS 2.0 acquisition link is of type "application/vnd.comicbook+zip"
Also, there is an OPDS 2 webpub profile called "divina" that supports a page-by-page stream of publications, that is documented here: https://github.com/readium/webpub-manifest/blob/master/profiles/divina.md . There are a number of self-hosted OPDS servers that are starting to add support for this feature, including Komga (komga.org)
