[Question] Is it possible to read from third party extension ? #291

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

Hello, i would like to know if it possible to only read for these plugins ? (without prior download), to see if i can read and if i like download, of if it's mandatory to download to read.

Thanks for the answer.

No, with the plugins you can only download chapters. You can't just "stream" them without downloading.

May I know the use case of this? App-based readers (e.g., Tachiyomi) have this feature because most manga sites are not built for mobile consumption, and streaming the chapters to a dedicated mobile reader can improve the experience. On the other hand, if you are reading from Mango you are already on web/browser, so why not just read from the manga sites directly?

Yeah but i use it to save the manga i like, but no stream mean i like you've said must rely on a third party website, i hoped to do both on the self hosted app.

thanks for the answer though :)
