Mylar is an automated Comic Book (cbr/cbz) downloader program heavily-based on the Headphones template and logic (which is also based on Sick-Beard).
This program is considered an "Alpha release". It is not bug-free, but it does work!
- At least Python version 2.7.9 (3.x is not supported)
- ComicVine API key (found here - program will have limited to no functionality without it
To start the program, type python Mylar.py inside the root of the Mylar directory. Typing python Mykar.py --help will give a list of available options.
Once it's started, navigate to localhost:8090 in your web browser (or whatever IP the machine that has Mylar is on).
Helpful hints:
- Add a comic (series) using the Search button or the Pullist
- Ensure Comic Location is specified in settings
- Mylar auto-creates the Comic Series directories under the Comic Location. The directory is displayed on the Comic Detail page).
- Restart Mylar after any settings changes, or else errors will occur
- A search provider needs to be specified to perform any search-related functions
- Enabling 'Automatically Mark Upcoming Issues as Wanted' in settings will mark any NEW comic from the Pullist that is on your 'watchlist' as wanted
- If adding a comic fails with "Error", submit a bug and it will be checked out (usually an easy fix)
- For the most up-to-date build, use the Development build
- Master doesn't get updated as frequently (> month), and Development is usually stable

(Post-Processing is similar to the way SickBeard handles it.)
- Within the post-processing/ folder of Mylar there are 2 files (autoProcessComics.py and autoProcessComics.cfg.sample)
- Within the post-processing/ folder of Mylar there are 2 directories (nzbget, sabnzbd) and within each of these client folders is a ComicRN.py script that is to be used with the respective download client.
- Edit (put in your Mylar host, port, login and password (if required), and ssl(0 for no, 1 for yes) and rename the autoProcessComics.cfg.sample to autoProcessComics.cfg.
- Copy autoProcessComics.py, autoProcessComics.cfg and the respective ComicRN.py into your SABnzbd/NZBGet scripts directory (or wherever your download client stores its scripts).
- Make sure SABnzbd/NZBGet is setup to have a 'comic-related' category that points it to the ComicRN.py script that was just moved.
- Ensure in Mylar that the category is named exactly the same.
You can now specify how Mylar creates the names of files and folders.

ComicName-(Year)

- You can do multi-levels as well - so you could do $Publisher/$Series/$Year to have it setup like DC Comics/Batman/2011 (as an example)
- Folder Format is used on every Add Series / Refresh Series request
- Enabling
Renaminghas no bearing on this, so make sure if you're not using the default, that it's what you want.

- If left blank, Mylar will use the original file and not rename at all
