[BUG] Thumbnail expiry.

Open Sevii77 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug Thumbnails from certain sources expire after a certain amount of time and theres no workaround for this.

To Reproduce

  1. Get any source that has expiring urls.
  2. Load the thumbnail
  3. Wait until it expires.

Expected behaviour It should reload the thumbnail on expire. It shouldn't be expected that a source can provide urls that don't expire.

App Version Eg: v0.7-r51

Potential Solutions

  • Allow sources to specify when the manga.image url expires (manga.image_expire for example), in which case Paperback can recall getMangaDetails to get a new image url once required.
  • Simply cache the image, this would make thumbnails work offline, save on bandwidth, and speed up thumbnail loading for those on slower connections.

We have logged issues to cache these images so that they dont have to be fetched every time the library loads. and if you go offline they still display. we are waiting the final result of that request
