benibela / videlibri Goto Github PK

Per specification, they are limited each to 500 char. The last two exceed this limit and hence are truncated, mid-sentence.

My scanner got a few additional checks in January, and on today's update of your app reported:

! repo/de.benibela.videlibri_2783.apk declares sensitive permission(s): android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE*
! repo/de.benibela.videlibri_2783.apk contains signature block blobs: 0x504b4453 (DEPENDENCY_INFO_BLOCK; GOOGLE)

The asterisk signals READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE was granted implicitly because WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE was declared. Can you please clarify what storage access is needed for here?

Ah, that DEPENDENCY_INFO_BLOCK is easily avoided:

android {
    dependenciesInfo {
        // Disables dependency metadata when building APKs.
        includeInApk = false
        // Disables dependency metadata when building Android App Bundles.
        includeInBundle = false
    }
}

For some background: that BLOB is supposed to be just a binary representation of your app's dependency tree. But as it's encrypted with a public key belonging to Google, only Google can read it – and nobody else can even verify what it really contains.

Thanks in advance!

The APK attached to v2.610 has the same versionCode as the one at v2.600: 2600. Maybe you forgot to increase it? That will also have the F-Droid build fail then. Can you please check (and fix)?

When using xidel to query Stadtbibliothek Chemnitz as suggested in the README, the due date is wrong:

$ xidel -e '$username:="XXX",
          $password:="XXX",
          $server:="https://opac2.stadtbibliothek-chemnitz.de/webOPACClient/",
          $startparams:="?Login=opsb"
    ' --template-action connect,update-all  \
      --module mockvidelibri.xqm --xmlns videlibri=https://www.videlibri.de --dot-notation=on \
      --template-file data/libraries/templates/sisis/template \
      --output-format=json-wrapped \
      -s |
    jq -c 'last | .book[0] | [.title, .duedate]'
["Busy Bee","2023-04-25"]

This is how it looks on the web, the supposed due date is actually the date it was borrowed:

The table cell does not contain any additional markup in HTML:

            <td>
             
             25.04.2023 - 21.07.2023<br>
             Zentralbibl.
            </td>

If you need any more information, please let me know.

Thanks for this app.
I am trying to use it on my E-Ink phone but the contrast between the grey letters and the dark background is too low. I can read the white letters in the sidebar.

Hello,

we really love your program to manage the borrowed books.
I would like to propose a new feature: A list of books added from the search one likes to borrow the next time in the library. When the books are borrowed from the library the get removed from the list.

Thanks for your hard work.

Is there any plan to also cover books I have marked for getting later?
For my library its possible to create such a list (in the web ui) but unfortunately it's hard to keep track then a specific book gets available.
It would be great to have this list within videlibri sorted by date it gets available in my configured favorite library.

Hi, I'm a contributor of F-Drdoid and I'm working on build your app with F-Droid's toolchain and publish it. There is a metadata in F-Droid'repo but it doesn't work. Since it's submitted to F-Droid long ago and never built, I don\t know if you support the inclusion.

So hereby I want to ask for your permission. And if you support the inclusion, could you please help me build it? Thanks!

When using xidel to query Stadtbibliothek Chemnitz as suggested in the README, I get a deprecation warning printed to stderr twice:

One of these seems to be gone when I change to only occurrence of x"" in data/libraries/templates/sisis/template (diff below). Not sure where the other warning originates.
