Sonarr/Radarr like tool for manga
Sonarr/Radarr like tool for manga
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a tool for autodownloading manga scans (translated of course) that would work somewhat like Sonarr or Radarr.
I'm currently downloading things to my phone through the Tachiyomi app, then dumping them into my computer to convert them for reading on my kindle device.
reading in the kindle is great but the workflow I'm following is not exactly fast or convenient. Has anyone tried something like this? even improving the downloading part would be a great help since with Tachiyomi I need to catalog things manually before converting
I usually download stuff through Nyaa to get .cbz files of full volumes. Of the few times I have had to get a series myself I have used Houdoku. It's similar to tachiyomi on desktop. I usually rip from Mangadex but have had to manually name folder files to eventually zip into cbz files. This may not be that helpful but just thought it plug in Houdoku to see if it helps with what you need
Edit: Lol I didn't really read your post well. Yeah, personally, I dont know of any automated solutions, sorry.
I'll check out Houdoku. If I can at least skip the part where I have to download to my phone first that'd be a big help. Thank you!
If you have a Windows/Linux computer you could use FMD/Hakuneko to download manga. The only problem is that these tools do not scrape new releases/new chapters, and so you have to manually go in and download everything.
A workaround would be if you can find torrents for your manga. In which case, with just a little bit of regex, you could let the torrent client (qbittorrent in my case) do the searching and auto-download for you. But I don't really rely on torrents to download manga so can't say. I have been looking for an automated solution too.
FMD has a watch list and automatically downloads new chapters for anything you put on that list.
I didn't know about that, thanks!
Doesn't Readarr (https://wiki.servarr.com/en/readarr) support Manga?
says in the wiki it doesn't support comics or magazines. I'm guessing comics include manga in this case.
I didn't know it existed though, this is a huge help for ebooks so thanks for mentioning it. I'm setting it up now
Mylar?
There's no polished arr-like suite for manga at the moment. All we have for now are jank systems that break (FMD2/MangaL/Mango/Lanraragi), take way too much time managing metadata & file naming(random github apps that are cli-based), and Tachiyomi(mobile) + Tachidesk(pc).
I've been in that rabbit hole already and I've wasted too much time (months). I just paid myself and bought an android tablet for exclusively tachiyomi than waste what little free time I have after work.
Hopefully one day we get a fork of tachi without the reader, keeps the plugin support, and improves the metadata & file management (let us set custom series names/numbering when downloading)
I haven't tried Mylar for manga, but it works so well with western comics that it must be possible
I'll give Mylar a shot! Sounds like a good option, I'll play around with it to see if it works with Manga. Thank you
There was Kmanga that did that and sent manga directly to my kindle. It was great but it shut down and no longer maintained.
There is no option currently. Readarr has indefinitely postponed adding comics/radarr support.
Mylarr barely does the job and even then it doesn’t do it right due to different naming conventions.
As another said, use qBit with regex on rss or similar with Autbrr if you want faster grabbing if releases
I just have FMD sitting in a windows VM, that automatically downloads Into my Komga library which I access via Tachiyomi on phone and Onyx Boox tablet.
Sometimes chapter numbers get fucked up due to amateur releases or errors but overall it works fine.
Komikku (linux) is great on desktop fwiw, though I know that won't be useful for everyone. It's on flathub.
