Is it possible to call CDisplay (or any other) as external viewer for specific extensions cbr/cbz in the meantime? The big problem is still that XBMC cannot do two-page.

As you are probably aware that Angelscry's Advanced Launcher addon has integrated scraping of Metadata and a library function.. so would it not be possible to integrate these into core functionality?

I have done a bit of testing on my Ubuntu Linux 16.04 machine and Kodi RC5.2, and although I couldn't get a .cbr file to work, a .cbz comics file did open in the Photo section, and displayed the various pages/images of the .cbz file. In single pages only, but the comics file is viewable.
No full metadata support or such, but it's a start.
ADDENDUM: .cbr and .cbz files also work in Windows 10 with Kodi 18 RC5. For .cbr files, you will need to install the RAR support add-on.

This allows me to sort them by Series (set), publisher, title, release date, creator, genre, etc. I use Comic Rack to scrape, then export the comics with a metadata file which takes some time, but with Notepad++ I can quickly convert *most* of the .xml meta files into Kodi-compatibly .nfo files. The process has a few hang-ups--namely, properly sorting creators into actors and roles is time intensive, as can be translating volume to set. I'm not knowledgeable enough about programming and ComicVine API to write a scraper, but if somebody wanted to take the time to write an unofficial scraper which Kodi can interpret directly, that's all that would actually need to be done for those of us who want comic support. The rest can be handled with nodes and a little bit of work on the user's end.Kriven - Would tell me how you got metadata displayed
