When none of your sources has a series, Uchiyomi tries a few extensions from your repository. A series stuck for an
hour that no installed source has is looked for on extensions from your repository, a few at a time. One that has it is
kept as a backup; the others are removed at once.

A few at a time

  • Best matches first: an extension named after a group that translates the series (as its chapters or
    MangaUpdates say), then the most downloaded.
  • Gently: one install at a time, at most one an hour and six a day, and within the backup limit (5).
  • One install, every waiting series: each extension it tries is asked about every series waiting in that language
    before it is kept or removed.
  • Never twice for nothing: an extension that doesn't have a series isn't tried for it again for a month. That
    includes the ones Fix everything already tried, and Fix everything skips the ones this tried.
  • Never an 18+ extension for a series that isn't, one in a language you've hidden, or one you removed.
  • One switch, as before: Finish downloads on their own. Off, nothing is tried.

Upgrading

  • Database: one new table (backup_misses). Additive.

Uchiyomi Desktop (beta): downloads

Uchiyomi as a program on your own computer, for Windows and Mac. On first launch it asks how you want to
use it: on this computer (the whole app, with the library in a folder on your PC and no Docker or
server to run) or connected to your own Uchiyomi server (a window onto the server you already run).

Your computer Download
Windows (x64) Uchiyomi-Setup-0.83.0.exe
Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) Uchiyomi-0.83.0-arm64.dmg
Mac with an Intel processor Uchiyomi-0.83.0-x64.dmg

Only those three are for you: the .zip, .blockmap and latest*.yml files are what the app's own updater
reads. The same installers are also here under names without a version (Uchiyomi-Setup.exe,
Uchiyomi-mac-arm64.dmg, Uchiyomi-mac-x64.dmg), which always lead to the newest release.

The app is not signed yet, so the first launch takes one extra step:

  • Windows: "Windows protected your PC" appears once. Choose More info, then Run anyway. A PC
    with Smart App Control turned on blocks unsigned apps with no way past it; use the Docker install there.
  • macOS: open the dmg and drag Uchiyomi to Applications. The first time you open it, macOS refuses;
    go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

Windows installs updates by itself. A Mac cannot update an unsigned app, so there a new version is a new
download; the menu-bar icon and Admin → Health say when one is out.
