Advanced local series metadata editing for enhanced library organization.

Editing local series details ​

It is possible to add details to local series. Like series from other sources, you add information about the series such as the author, artist, description, and genre tags.

To import details along with your local series, you have to create a JSON file with the name details.json. It must be placed within the Series folder. This file will contain the extended details about the series in the JSON format. You can see the example below on how to build the file. Once the file is there, the app should load the data when you first open the series or you can pull down to refresh the details.

You can copy the following example and edit the details as needed:

json
{
  "title": "Example Title",
  "author": "Example Author",
  "artist": "Example Artist",
  "description": "Example Description",
  "genre": ["genre 1", "genre 2", "etc"],
  "status": "0",
  "_status values": ["0 = Unknown", "1 = Ongoing", "2 = Completed", "3 = Licensed", "4 = Publishing finished", "5 = Cancelled", "6 = On hiatus"]
}

TIP

If you don't want to create the details.json file manually, you can use the android app Koguma or this website

Editing chapter details ​

Similarly, the details of each chapter can be customized with a JSON file.

To customize the details, create a JSON file with the name chapters.json. It must be placed within the Series folder. The structure of this JSON file will be a list of JSON objects. Each JSON object must contain a chapter_number key and optionally a name, date_upload, or scanlator key.

An example is as follows:

json
[
  {
    "chapter_number": 1,
    "name": "Ch 1 - His Name Is...",
    "date_upload": "2022-03-22T00:00:00"
  },
  {
    "chapter_number": 1.5,
    "name": "Ch 1.5 - Genius",
    "scanlator": "TranslatingTeam"
  }
]

For your information

As Aniyomi will use the chapter_number key to match the chapters, the order of the JSON objects in the list does not matter.

Using a custom cover image ​

It is also possible to use a custom image as a cover for each local series.

To do this, you only need to place the image file, that needs to be named cover.jpg, in the root of the series folder. The app will then use your custom image in the local source listing.
