Note that feature development has stopped as we have moved to Mylar3.

EOL for this project is the end of 2020 and will no longer be supported. This repo will be archived as of Jan-1-2021.

Mylar is an automated Comic Book (cbr/cbz) downloader program for use with NZB and torrents written in python. It supports SABnzbd, NZBGET, and many torrent clients in addition to DDL.

It will allow you to monitor weekly pull-lists for items belonging to user-specific series to download, as well as being able to monitor story-arcs. Support for TPB's and GN's is also now available.

This program is considered an "Alpha release" but is in development still. It is not bug-free, but it does work!

Requirements

Usage

To start the program, type python Mylar.py inside the root of the Mylar directory. Typing python Mylar.py --help will give a list of available options.

Once it's started, navigate to http://localhost:8090 in your web browser (or whatever IP the machine that has Mylar is on).

Helpful hints:

Post-processing

It is imperative that you enable the post-processing option if you require post-processing (Configuration --> Quality & Post-Processing --> Enable Post-Processing)

Newsgroups

There are 2 ways to perform post-processing within Mylar, however you cannot use both options simultaneously.

ComicRN

Completed Download Handling (CDH)

Torrents

There is no completed processing for torrents. There are methods available however:

Torrent client on same machine as Mylar installation

Torrent client on different machine than Mylar

Torrent client (rtorrent/deluge) on different machine than Mylar

DDL

When using DDL, post-processing will be initiated immediately upon successful completion. By default the items are downloaded to the cache directory location and removed after post-processing. However, if you wish to change the default directory location, specify the full directory location in the config.ini ddl_location field.

Renaming files and folders

You can specify how Mylar renames files during post-processing / import in addition to the folders.
