Never had any success with any of the book stuff.
There's seemingly no established ripping scene for books. They don't follow a system.
The only reason why sonarr and radar work so well is because the scene is so neatly organised with schedules, structure etc
Ive not looked into it so I don't know what kind of challenges they face. Theoretically, I don't see where the problem is though..
The primary input is a users "wishlist" of things they want. Each thing is then compared against a master list which confirms it exists and when it should be available (metadata). This is optional, but offers a more rich experience. Lastly, each thing is queried against a torrent index to try and find it. Its a relatively simple procedure. I guess the only question is whether books appear on these indices or not.
After a quick glance at the notice on their site, it seems metadata was the problem.. or more precisely, no work was being done to move to a new provider. It kinda reads like they lost steam and stopped developing it.
There isn't really an agreed-on metadata system for ebooks, which is surprising to me, considering the ISBN system is well-established as a credible source.
Uploading ebooks to my CWA instance is a guaranteed metadata edit on each one.
I'll never understand why i can edit metadata on calibre, close out, upload it to calibre-web and it's a crap shoot on what, if any, metadata populates.
Good point tbh. All the work is done lol
