Added support for Ubooquity server (http://vaemendis.net/ubooquity). The server streams your comics file page by page so that you can start reading without waiting for the download of whole file.
Support WebP files (Need Android 4.0+)

Hi
i’m very interested by ubooquity opds feature (great comics server btw), but it always downloads the full comics, not page by page stream.
do i miss something ?
I’m using ubooquity 1.7.0 and challenger v2.01.09.armeabi-v7a
Ubooquity 1.7 is the right version.
You should use stream icons when you browse Ubooquity opds. Then you can choose a page from this stream (appears like a folder), once selected the app will open this page and you can start reading (other pages will be downloaded in background automatically).
Thanks! I’ve missed the stream icon 🙂
Yet when adding an ubooquity folder into a library, then comics are downloaded not read as stream.
Or i still miss something 🙂
It seems there is a problem when you create a library from Ubooquity.
Ubooquity server can publish (in OPDS) same comics in multiple format (like cbr, stream, …) and Challenger Comics Viewer will create a cover for all of them, and so, it will download cbz or cbr files to extract the cover.
I will add a fix on my side (in Challenger Comics Viewer), the app will import only stream when multiple format are available. The fix will be available in next release.
Sorry …
All it does for me is just analyzing library data. I’ve left it run overnight and still does not seem to do anything. This is my Ubooquity server. I have about 29000 books.
Alright, I’m at a complete loss here. I can’t get it to stream correctly. It keeps scanning throughout the night but ending up with nothing. I’ve made a sample DB available for testing with about 3000 comics in case you’re interested, I just can’t get the streaming to work. Do we have any setup example or how-to available somewhere? I feel like I’m missing something.
Other then that it’s about the best comic reader available 🙂 (using local DB comics for now) so grabbed the donated version. Cheers!
Can you give me more details about your problem ?
Where are stored your files ? (Ubooquity
server, Samba, Ftp, Drive, …).
Before creating library, did you try to open one file ? (to validate network access).

and no need to be sorry, having worked in software company, i know what it is to develop app 🙂
thanks for all the works you already done
I made a fix. If you want to test it don’t hesitate to send me an email (thechallenger@free.fr) I will send you a link.
Can’t connect to my Ubooquity server, using correct URL, port and login details. Challenger returns OPDS error. Any ideas?
Did you use the correct url ? It’s like http://:2202/opds-comics
