Compiled links are 404. Is this project dead? It has been 3 years.

I didn't know about this project until just in the last hour. I was trying out some new comic reading apps on Android and in network and cloud sync areas of a 3 of the apps I tried I saw this ComicStreamer as an option. Sounding very interesting in comparison to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. I came to check it out and possibly set it up but it seems dead to me.

I'm a Windows user so perhaps it's been abandoned on Windows. I don't know. It's interesting that comic book apps have implemented it's use in their apps.

First and foremost, I hope this creator is healthy and okay and Beville just got tired of working on it. It does happen. Or, Beville is doing time in San Quinton (just kidding). I would like to see this come back though or a statement from Beville as to the current situation.

I'd love to find a compiled Windows version to play with but all roads lead to dead ends. If anyone has a compiled version to share I'd be appreciative.

Best of luck.

I be back in a week or two and pull it from my backup and put it next to the mac release... it was all on my dropbox until the changed the public folder policy... I tried guessing my password but I do not even have the email I signed in anymore. Thank god for offline multiple backups, not? :-)

Still looking for someone who can fix my mysql connection time out problem in sqlalchemy. It is my Achilles' heel... I got ebook support with calibre, pdf with xpfd, c7z support and I even hacked in partial web comics support... lots of caching... with an ssd makes accessing pages really really fast if they are cached, and was building user and favorite support...but after two years not being able to fix $#% mysql bug, which eludes me every time I try to fix it. I gave up. sqlalchemy is just not my thing. Anyway I even build in comic identification for detecting lots of doubles... (it hashes the image pages to get an identifier) a nicer looking interface and blacklist of those scanner pages... but no mysql... well it is the most frustrating bug I ever encountered.

Don't know if it runs, I always get very (for real) sick during some of my coding sessions... could be broken, could not be...

Anyway, anyone willing to help to get mysql working...!!!

It is soooo much faster then sqlite, especially with a lot of comics on slower devices as the raspberry pi. Difference of serving 100.000 comics or just a couple of thousands... I know I tested it with 100.000 random generated comics with meta on my old notebook... after sqlite was finished, just pulling a random comic... I could shave my beard. MySQL, well I only notice it if I did not blink. Some time ago, we also tested it with 20.000+ pdf reports/invoices from a company the other dude worked at and they were searchable and viewable lightning fast... but alas... time out... Still use my version using a sqlite db with a couple hundreds of pdf, and chunky as my lightning fast (with caching on of course) reader, as my library of reference manuals (hardware/games/software/electronics/appliances manuals, datasheets even bills)

I have a compiled Windows installer still on my drive for the final Beville 0.0.7 version if that 's helpful to anyone. If it would help spur more development I'm happy to share. (excuse my ignorance, I'm not a coder and still trying to find which side is up in the Git world)

I use it for streaming to Chunky and the only drawback I have is the hangs on sorting recursive file lists for larger directories.

If you have the compiled windows one, that would be great

@vacanthand I'd kill for that installer. I used to have one sitting around and I somehow lost it. Could you upload it somewhere?

[vacanthand]

Here's the installer on my dropbox share, it is working fine for me on Windows 10
