Is there a way to automatically include a cover in the created epub (using syncabook create)?

r4victor commented 3 years ago

Hi, @smhmd. I've just pushed a commit that adds this functionality:

To add a cover to the produced ebook, put a JPEG image named cover.jpg in the images/ directory before running syncabook create.

I have a question on what you might use as a reader for EPUBs with media overlays? I'm having syncing issues with Thorium where the smil files are correct, yet the reader is weirdly out of sync.

r4victor commented 3 years ago

Yeah, there are very few of them. I listed all the readers I know in the README: https://github.com/r4victor/syncabook#how-to-read-and-listen

One other thing, Victor. Could you include the default values for ALIGNMENT_RADIUS and ALIGNMENT_SKIP_PENALTY in syncabook create help text (I believe the radius is 100 and the skip penalty is 0.99) and what should one set ALIGNMENT_RADIUS to if the preferred optimality over computational resources?
