Calibre Integration?

Open kothavade opened this issue 3 years ago • 8 comments

Would integration into an existing Calibre Content Server be possible as it is with Readarr?

This would be an excellent addition!

Prowlar integration would be better.

Prowlar integration would be better.

For torrents you might as well use Readarr, and allowing this to also add to Calibre would allow you to use the two tools together easily as the both end books to the same place

Calibre automatic adding via folder monitoring should already allow some integration. However, the books fail to import properly as calibre copies the data out before the download is completed. Is it possible to download with a temporary placeholder name until its complete as this would solve the issue?

Maybe instead of a name just a different file extension, like how chrome downloads as .crdownload?

kothavade avatar Mar 18 '22 18:03 kothavade

Yeah that would work. I just did a test with a epub re-named to .temp and calibre ignored it.

the best option is to make openbook as a indexer in prowlarr or second best is to integrate with calibre and&or readarr to make sure the lists are in sync

i would also like openbooks to be an indexer for prowlarr if possible

How do I add this to Prowlarr? I don't see this in the latest release.

There is no prowlarr integration. Your best bet is to use calibre and set up a monitored folder for auto-importing. Then set Openbooks download directory to the same folder. Openbooks downloads it, calibre picks it up and imports.

Ah okay. Thanks for the info mate.
