comictagger VS jellyfin-web

What you can try is to use https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger to pre-tag your books. If your books are already imported, you might need a calibre plugin called Embed Comic Metadata. So you can load your zips/cbz from the calibre folder into comictagger -> save. Then load metadata back into calibre via the plugin. BUT BE AWARE: It might override existing data like Title or Series. So doublecheck after autotagging and before re-importing metadata.

(Optional for metadata edits) ComicTagger https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger

For comics, I use comictagger + komga.

There's the bookshelf plugin that works rather well with comics and mangas in jellyfin. Most of my books/comics/mangas are tagged with the comictagger app available free on GitHub https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger.

I was going to suggest taking a look at comictagger - https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger. I'm not 100% on whether it can handle PDFs or epubs though

Well, for most manga, I first run it through ComicTagger: https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger

Look into comic-tagger. It's a CLI program which has the ability to parse file names of both CBZ and CBR and will attempt to match and pull metadata from comicvine. https://github.com/comictagger/comictagger/releases

If you do go with another alternative, you can still use ComicVine data with something like ComicTagger. I've not personally used it, but I've seen others use it with success. Hopefully that helps!

pretty sure all of them require an authenticated user but this one was just fresh in my mind: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/security/advisories/GHSA-89hp-h43h-r5pq

I noticed there is a feature request HERE and an already merged PR HERE. I'm running the current Jellyfin 10.8.10 via docker.

I don't think it's currently possible to define additional data for an author (like a small summary of the authors works etc.), like the TV shows and movies do via online metadata providers. That there is no author's page and that a book series isn't grouped together is as far as I'm aware a limitation of the GUI ( https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web ).

If you build everything from source you also need to build the web client, so a small dive into the whole JavaScript / Node.js ecosystem will be required.

I assume its the new version has more problems detecting the right codec as seen in this post: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/issues/3690

You only have a part of the config.json file. Here's the rest. My config.json looks like this and I have my custom menu links. I did have to go into the site settings and clear all cache/data for them to show up.

Mh. I would claim that AV1 is the problem here. But looking at this issue here AV1 should work in combination with WebM.
