VicMoore 560 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Good morning... I have written my own Emby Web Client to learn how the Emby API works. I can navigate the Emby library and select media to stream (video, and audio) without any problems. I can also explore the Emby server and thereby learn how things work. I now want to expand my web client to include e-books and comic books. I have written my own e-pub reader in javascript and I now want to integrate it into my web client. My problem is that I was positive that the Emby API included the means to download files to a browser. But, I can not find it. I would appreciate if anyone could point out how to do this. When I get the file into the browser then I can display it with my e-pub reader. I have attached my test version of the reader below. It's not finished code but does work. Put both files into the same directory and open the html file in a chrome or Edge browser. It should give you an idea about what I am trying to do. Click the folder icon to select from your server the e-pub that you want to read. Open the browser console to see the internals of the chosen e-pub.

VicMoore 560 Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thanks Luke... I knew it had to be simple. I will implement it tonight. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMoore 560 Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Luke, I have another question. Is there a way that I can copy an e-book from the Emby server library to a Javascript string in my browser? I don't currently have a transparent way to copy a file from the download directory. I want to simplify the reading of e-books. I will display the e-book covers from the Emby library so the user can just click on a cover and the book opens so it can be read. Purhaps a book can be streamed in some way, like movies and audio books. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37094 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Well you can do whatever with the download url. You can fetch the contents in JavaScript and then do anything with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
