Directly connects to Readarr's API to automatically detect missing books, eliminating manual inventory checks as described in the integration section.
Searches and downloads from Library Genesis, a vast repository, with configurable filters for language and file extensions like .epub or .pdf.
Allows setting custom hours for automatic runs via sync_schedule, enabling continuous library updates without constant user intervention.
Supports both file-based and folder-based organization through selected_path_type, adapting to different Readarr setup preferences.
Currently only supports Library Genesis with a fixed URL (libgen.is), limiting options if books are unavailable there or users prefer other sources.
Readarr does not auto-rename files upon import, requiring users to manually trigger renaming after downloads, which reduces full automation.
Default thread_limit is 1, which can slow down downloads for large gaps; users must adjust settings for faster parallel processing.
