LazyLibrarian: Automate your ebook/author collection

[Mar2zz]

Still in a very early stage of development (so bugs are plenty and features are less), but nevertheless it downloads books for me on command if available.

Search for authors or books, add them to the database, set books to wanted and watch the magic happen.

Source can be downloaded here, installinstructions are the same as for the other downloadautomation apps (sickbeard/couchpotato/headphones)

I am just a beginning python-coder, so don't shoot me for creating ugly and messy code. Post issues if you want to, but better, post pullrequests with fixes for it if you can. Also be aware it may cause blindness. The template is not the final one, so css is also open for editing/pullrequests.

Pics and installinstructions are on Github.
currently one servertype is supported (newznab-alikes, so nzb.su and other newznabs). It's kinda headphones compatible, I copied a lot of code from Rembo10, so converting other servertypes shouldn't be that hard, but currently I am focussing on postprocessing (which can only be done manual right now, I need to work on a scheduler also which checks every now and then if downloads are finished).

It can send nzb's directly to sabnzbd, but also to a blackhole if you prefer that.

If you are going to use it, use it at own risk, and don't be mad if de database or config.ini sometimes must be reset/deleted until LazyLibrarian is more mature and stable.

This is so awesome. Thank you, thank you

[Mar2zz]

You are welcome

Did some things today,
It saves a cover and metadata in the destinationfolder when books are processed.

11-02: an attempt to use scheduled jobs for nzb-searching and postprocessing is pushed to git. update if you need, I still need to build an updater.

Great program. love it. can't wait for it to be a lil more mature.

not sure if you're taking feature request or have a list of features you plan on implementing somewhere but i'd really love to see a format selector.
s
ay where it searches for ebooks that are just epubs or just mobi or being able to select multiple formats that your ebook reader supports.

Any chance of adding nzbmatrix as a nzb provider?

Mar2zz, I look forward to trying and testing this addon when nzbmztrix or nzds.org support are added

keep up the good work

Mar2zz, People seem to be asking for nzbmatrix and/or nzbs.org to be added, but when checking the .ini config file these are already listed in there are these just for the future use or if these details are entered manualy into the .ini and not through the GUI will these work

[Mar2zz]

It's allready in config ini, but it's not enabled in code. I will add support in a few days, but I do not have a nzbmatrix vip account, so I can't test it with more then 20 hits a day (I am a write,try,writy,try coder, so I hit that limit quite fast). nzbs.org doesn't list ebooks, so that one isn't gonna be supported unfortunately.

[mtyermom]

Let me know if I can help with testing NZBMatrix, as they are my preferred provider. Going to play around with manual configuration, now.

PS: THANK YOU for writing this in the first place, looking forward to watching it mature.

[mtyermom]

Ok, so I manually entered my NZBMatrix info, a simple thing.

However, after searching for an author (Robert Jordan) I'm getting the expected search results, but when I select book(s) and click to add (with the drop down properly selected to 'add book') I receive the following error:

Code: Select all

404 Not Found

The path '/bookPage' was not found.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Update:
I successfully added a few books, basically I had to get the author added and to "stick", first, before adding books.

Installed LL and configured, manually added settings for nzbmatrix and nzb.su, added author successfully.
Patiently awaiting the ability to scan previously existing library or (crosses fingers) calibre integration.

A great start, will git pull often, look forward to your progress.

The github page says

Run "python LazyLibrarian.py -daemon" to start in deamon mode

I think it must be "--daemon".

Ok,
Downloaded LL, set it up with the usual, it runs and searches for books, but doesnt seem to generate any NZB's I setup an account on nzb.su and put the api in the config of LL. What am I doing wrong? I don't need SABnzbs setting and stuff, I just want it to drop the NZB's into a watch folder where Hellanzb can kick in and download them.
TIA
Steve

The Logs page tells you more. If you start it with python LazyLibrarian.py --debug it logs even more (to console). Also, there are logfiles in the datafolder.

thx. missed that one. actually -d and --daemon are supported.

Hi, I am also having this problem, but I don't understand how you solved it! Could you please elaborate
