README.md

Mylar is an automated Comic Book (cbr/cbz) downloader program heavily-based on the Headphones template and logic (which is also based on Sick-Beard).

Yes, it does work for the most part but it is the pure definition of an 'Alpha Release'.

To start it, type in 'python Mylar.py' from within the root of the mylar directory. Adding a --help option to the command will give a list of available options.

Once it's started, navigate to to localhost:8090 in your web browser (or whatever IP the machine that has Mylar is on).

Here are some helpful hints hopefully:

  • Add a comic (series) using the Search button, or using the Pullist.
  • Make sure you specify Comic Location as well as your SABnzbd settings in the Configuration! (Mylar auto-creates the Comic Series directories under the Comic Location. The directory is displayed on the Comic Detail page).
  • If you make any Configuration changes, shutdown Mylar and restart it or else errors will occur - this is a current bug.
  • You need to specify a search-provider in order to get the downloads to send to SABnzbd. If you don't have either listed, choose Experimental!
  • In the Configuration section, if you enable 'Automatically Mark Upcoming Issues as Wanted' it will mark any NEW comic from the pullist that is on your 'watchlist' as wanted.
  • There are times when adding a comic it will fail with an 'Error', submit a bug and it will be checked out (usually an easy fix).

The 2 features below are extremely new and users may encounter some problems until bugs are squashed. Please submit issues via git for any outstanding problems that need attention.

Post-Processing (Post-Processing has now been done to try and mimic the way SickBeard handles it.)

  • Within the sabnzbd/ folder of Mylar there are 3 files (autoProcessComics.py, autoProcessComics.cfg.sample, ComicRN.py)
  • Edit (put in your Mylar host, port, login and password (if required), and ssl(0 for no, 1 for yes) and rename the autoProcessComics.cfg.sample to autoProcessComics.cfg.
  • Copy autoProcessComics.py, autoProcessComics.cfg and ComicRN.py into your SABnzbd scripts directory (or wherever your SABnzbd stores it's scripts).
  • Make sure SABnzbd is setup to have a 'comic-related' category that points it to the ComicRN.py script that was just moved.
  • Ensure in Mylar that the category is named exactly the same.

Renaming

  • You can now specify Folder / File Formats.
  • Folder Format - if left blank, it will default to just using the default Comic Directory (and creating subdirectories beneath in the format of ComicName-Year) You can do multi-levels as well - so you could do $Publisher/$Series/$Year to have it setup like DC Comics/Batman/2011 (as an example)
  • File Format - if left blank, Mylar will use the original file and not rename at all. This includes replacing spaces, and zero suppression (both renaming features).

Please help make it better, by sending in your bug reports / enhancement requests or just say what's working for you.
