Document resuming where you left off, and recently_viewed.yaml 
A new page explains what WROLPi remembers for videos, audio, EPUB eBooks and
comic books, how resume works (and when it does not), `?t=`, progress bars,
the Dashboard's Continue view, and the recently_viewed.yaml config.  The
configs page lists the new config, and PDFs and eBooks link to the page.

eBooks

eBooks are managed by the Docs module, where they can be browsed, filtered by author and subject, searched, and read directly in the browser with the built-in EPUB reader.

Epub files are desired as ebooks, though some support for Mobi files is provided. Reasons why WROLPi prefers Epub:

  • Epub files are simple. An Epub file is a zip file containing HTML files.
  • Third-party support for reading Epubs is much more feature-rich.
  • Images are files in the Epub zip.
  • Device support for Epubs is nearly ubiquitous.
  • Because an Epub contains HTML files, it makes it easy to display them in a web browser.

EPUB eBooks and comic books open on the page you were reading; see Resume Where You Left Off.

Cover images are detected automatically — including Calibre-style directories with a cover.jpg — see Cover Images.

Searching

When indexes for an eBook are generated, they are searched in the following order of precedence:

  1. Title
  2. Author
  3. File name
  4. eBook contents
