Mangadex (mangadex)

Media-Provider supports downloading manga's from mangadex, you may specify a language to download from. If your language is missing, please add it here and open a pull request

You may add as many manga's as you want, but only one will be downloaded at a time, the rest is added in a queue. They will automatically start downloading after. Once a manga's has fully downloaded, Media-Provider wil zip them per chapter, into .cbz files with the following layout Title Ch. ?.cbz. They will be grouped into directories per volume. If a chapter currently has no volume, and is assigned one when you download the same series at a later point in time; Media-Provider will remove the previously downloaded chapter, and redownload it.

Example

- Spice And Wolf
    - Spice and Wolf Vol. 1
        - Spice and Wolf Ch. 1.cbz
        - Spice and Wolf Ch. 2.cbz
    - Spice and Wolf Vol. 2
        - Spice and Wolf Ch. 3.cbz
        - Spice and Wolf Ch. 4.cbz
    - Spice and Wolf Ch. 5.cbz

Chapter 5 may be redownloaded into Spice and Wolf Vol 3/Spice and Wolf Ch. 5.cbz at later time.

Covers

Media-Provider will add covers to the .cbz file (if you've enabled it while downloading). Before writing a cover for a chapter, it'll check if the first page in the chapter is the same image. And if it is, and has a better quality, will skip writing the cover.

Download metadata

The mangadex provider allows for a few options to be set alongside which manga to download. You may

  • Choose the language you're downloading in
  • Choose to skip, or download one-shots
  • Choose a scanlation group*
  • Choose to include or exclude covers (WebToons)
  • Choose to update covers if they have changed (Subscriptions)

*The system is currently not smart enough to provide you with the id/names of which scanlation are an option. You will have to provide these yourself from mangadex's site. Will check for scanlation group OR user

Cover updater

This metadata option is disabled by default, as it can cause a lot of extra downloads. Media-Provider will re-download the chapter if the following conditions have been met

  • The wanted cover is different from the downloaded cover
  • The wanted cover is not the first page of the chapter

The last condition is to prevent re-downloading all first page cover chapters. This may be worked around in the future. The idea behind this option is to ensure covers which are added to volumes later than the chapters are placed in them are used.
