Hi Drummond,

no noob-friendly process yet. Linux deployment is mostly taken care of by me, but I'm currently suffering from a serious lack of time amd the standalone server still needs a few tweeks before I can roll it out as a Linux package (I need to make sure there are no conflicts with YACReaderLibrary since it does share quite a few files with it which turns into a problem in the packaging process).
As soon I get around doing it and provided there are no major blockers there will be a PKGBUILD for Archlinux and probably a Debian source package you can use.

My answers are not necessarily official YACReader statements but mostly represent my own opinion in technical matters.

Many users do use it to stream via internet, but I discourage that as it's a possible security risk. If you want it via LTE you should use a VPN tunnel to your home network as a precaution

Luis Ángel Offline Administrator Posts: 2617 Thank you received: 543 Karma: 22	Writing a step by step tutorial for doing this is in my TODO list. I have a library in a hard disk attached to my raspberry pi, and the library's folder is shared over the network (SAMBA) so I can browse it using YACReaderLibrary in my computer. So I would like that the tutorial will cover not only the compilation process but also some best practices and whatnot.

hi all and thanks for this wonderful project.

Following the interesting information found in this forum, i could compile headless yacreaderlibrary for Raspberry 3 but unfortunately there is a problem with libunarr.
As i cannot apt-get install libunarr-dev - it does not exist in Raspbian repository - it looks like qmake does not compile it as it should, therefore i get the following errors when trying to create a new library:

Corrupt JPEG data: 1 extraneous bytes before marker 0xdb
- zip.c:104: Skipping directory entry "__MACOSX/"
- rar.c:65: Skipping directory entry "Comics X"
- zip.c:104: Skipping directory entry "Comics Y" and so on for each comics

What is the best way to compile libunarr correctly?

I already tried by adding the repository of selmf as described in software.opensuse.org/download.html?proj...mf&package=yacreader but didn't worked.

and then I tryed by downloading github.com/selmf/unarr/archive/master.zip and placed it in the yacreader/compressed_archive/unarr/ directory after unzipping as adviced by Luis Angel in his README in bitbucket.org/luisangelsm/yacreader/src/...ressed_archive/unarr directory.

but none worked
thanks in advance and best regards, J

Hi josephm,

the directory skipping messages are harmless debug info. Disabling them would need adding a compiler switch for unarr, which potentially could influence other parts of the software.

Alas, the service I use for building the Debian and Ubuntu packages doesn't support the ARM architecture, so I can't provide you with an easy installable package. However, you could build the package yourself. The debian source package files I use are available here:

build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:selmf/libunarr

For the jpg error I would need to take a look at the comic provoking it.

Luis Ángel Offline Administrator Posts: 2617 Thank you received: 543 Karma: 22	I have compiled YACReaderLibraryServer using lib7zip as the backend library for dealing with compressed files. You are going to need the source code of p7zip version 9.20, extracted in a folder named "libp7zip" into "compressed_archive" folder. qmake YACReaderLibraryServer.pro CONFIG+=7zip make BTW, I am using the 32bit version of Raspbian. This could be a x64 related issue.
