MangaReader.net Checker

Divakarsd · 2011-10-26 20:38:00

I wrote a script to display the unread manga count in conky
and thought sharing it with you (for people who read manga)

The Script checks only the site mangareader.net for now.
The Script maintains a mangaList.txt file there all read mangas are saved in 2 columns.
First column is manga name (how it is written in the websites url link).
Second column describes the read count.

wait, how does this script work and would I need an account? Usually, I just download my manga and read it on whatever device I have (useful during times of limited bandwidth).

@sunfizz98
how do you download the mangas? I use this.

@divakarsd
can you show your conky+script in action? its a nice idea which i might be able to combine with my script. (mind if I make some code suggestions?)

Manga checker in conky:

Eee pc:
Manga cheker openbox pipe menu:

Clicking on the menu entry opens the page in browser (variable in Script) + updates mangaList.txt reading count

I usually read the manga in the browser with AutoPager.

So it counts only mangas called via the shell entry. I see.

Divakarsd · 2011-10-27 13:06:37

it also shows (if needed) for with manga there is a update available (-p Option).

Example
run: $ ./mangaReader.sh -p
output: naruto 560 -> 561

Output means:
A update for Naruto is available.
560 was last read chapter
561 is new unread chapter

Conky is used to know then a update is available ( using a send-notify would be to disruptive)

Clicking on the "naruto 560 -> 561" Menu entry in openbox:
1. Opens "http://www.mangareader.net/naruto/561" in Firefox (another browser can be set with -b Option)
2. Changes the read count 560 to 561 in the file mangaList.txt. So next time then the script is run naruto wount be listet.

@luc
I basically go to evil-empire.net and download mangas by the volume as rar or zip packages and read them with Comix.
