Comics/Manga not working

[turtlefacee 8]

It says ebooks/comics/manga are supported, but when i add them, it does not work via the web app or the android app, all i get is a download option which makes emby completely redundant. I have added the cbz files to emby, but emby doesnt provide anything useful except a download button which i still need another app to read them.

 

am i doing something wrong or is this by design? because it states that emby supports pdf and cbz

Yes that's all we have at this point for books. We plan to expand on our book features in the future. Thanks.

I might mention there are several Javascript based comic book readers out there that could be added to Emby to support reading comic books online.

 

This one is HTML5 and Javascript I believe.

KThoom is Javascript

Yanapax is open source as well.
