Frequently asked questions about YACReader

My client app iOS/Android can't connect to the server, why?

There are a number of causes that can cause this problem: 1) Wrong connection data, check that you are using the actual IP of the device where the server is running. The IP can change in your network if it is not configure statically. And also double check the port number, when the server starts it needs that the port is free and not in use by any other server. 2) Devices not in the same network. If your wifi has satelites (or access points) make sure they allow communication between devices connected to different nodes. 3) A firewall could be blocking your connection. 4) The client apps need permission to access your local network, if iOS or Android ask about it you should allow the app to connect to other devices in your LAN. 5) Router is using some isolation mode and doesn't allow communication between devices.

The libraries created with YACReaderLibrary are empty after I create them

This could be a problem caused by the app not being able to write to disk or the database. If your comics are in network shared folder mounted using Samba, you are going to need to mount it using the `nobrl` option (you may read some docs refering to this option as `nolock`). Samba doesn't allow creating lock files and the database need those to be able to write information.

How can I create a Library?

A library is a collection of comics, generaly you will only need to create one library and organize in it all your collections. Add a library ('+' button) giving a name and a destination path (f.e. C:\MyComics), YACReaderLibrary will import all the comics and folders in this path.

How can I add a folder to a library?

 YACReaderLibrary adds any new folder from your hard disk when you update your library. The only thing you need to do is to create a subfolder in your library's folder and then update your library.

Why the 'comic flow' is laggy or slow?
