ive tested an comic with comicinfo.xml (abs can read the comicinfo.xml) and without comicinfo.xml and the comicpage inside the root of the *.cbz and abs can read this comic ... maybe abs cant read the comic if an folder is in the root and there are the pages?

ive tested other cbz and there is an issue: all cbz can read in the webbrower chrome amd mobile BUT and cbz with 500 mb > mobile cant read >>> plz wait (maybe the file is too big?)

we need more log informations if an comic cant load or the time is very long ... idk the system behind the ebook / comic reader but there is only (error) loginformation for ebook

comic > root / pages = ABS can read

I just checked and I did not make the comic reader support nested folders. Is this common?
I think it can be added but I'm curious if this is a common way to package comics and why it would be done that way?

I'll hold off on it then. Don't want to put a bunch of effort into getting something working for a few comics poorly formatted.

i edit comics / manga with an folder inside ... i think its an missconfiguration but idk ... i dont like folders inside these books ...

if anyone interessted how theres books can edited:

i use total commander:

one side > strg + page down > enter the book > enter the folder and copy the files to the other sides book root ...

or

extract the book with 7-Zip to an folder > go into the folder >compress the files to a new book (windows: send to "zip-compressed folder" )

and if u need any additionl informations like comicinfo.xml use comicrack with the comicvine plugin

This is a duplicate of #811 actually because I believe it is for the same reason. The issue was broken down by the comment in that thread https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/811#issuecomment-1182720394
