I would love to a new section for Comics/Ebooks with a scrapper agent linked to Comic Vine and support for CBZ/CBR/PDF file types. I have thousands comics and PDF ebooks and would love the ability to stream\access them from everywhere via Plex.

Clearly Comics/PDFs aren’t included in Plex’ range of media. When I was new to the apps (3 years ago), I made the same request as you. But I soon realised it wouldn’t fit in anyway. There’s other apps that do this atm: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq.html#id28

Umm... How exactly is it outside plex range of media? It already does pictures, comics are in the end, just pictures... Also worth mentioning is that XBMC which is really Plex's biggest competitor, as well as source for a lot of stuff, can already do this.

I just started a poll about this issue, highlighting how plex would/could generate revenue with this very feature. Im hoping if they see the advantage for them as well as for us they will take a look at development. Please vote on the poll below. http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/56331-…

I think the main issue with all of these media types (Books, Comics, Audio Books) is that there are no comprehensive scrapers available to provide information to Plex for display.

So here is a cross platform comic book reader that someone can make a channel for: sourceforge.net/projects/comical/ problem solved?

I would love to have my comics on Plex. Just so I can read them on my iPad/Phone. I have tried searching for a decent CBR organiser and there are some good ones out there (YAC, Comic book lover ect) but nothing that gives you an all round package i.e. create a library, see metadata, browse collecti…
