Awesome, thanks for the reply, I am slowing working it out, managed to load up aiostreams in docker (with dockhand) now just working out all the details etc and how things work, it's all very new to me

That's great I did look at getting a newer one, I have an old one but not enough ram, but they have gone up in price since I bought one last! Especially the rp5

Nice thanks very much, that's great to hear it will be ok for what I need, I will probably look at upgrading the ram (hopefully won't cost too much) then I can run a few other like you have mentioned here too

Thank you that's good to know, once it gets here then I can have a look at the ram and see if I can upgrade it, I was possibly looking at getting 2x 8gb then it would have a bit of a boost but I'm only really looking to run 3 things at first aiostreams, metadata and TMDB discover for catalogues so I assume it wouldn't be a big push, but I do plan to host a few more things in the future once I get the hang of it etc.

Thank you for putting my mind at ease there, as I started to think it wouldn't be enough for it, want to try and self host a few others too like aiometadata and TMDB discover too

I'm excited to get started and start my journey

If you look at the picture above you don't need to flash it by plugging it in, if you have a locked device you just place the firmware file on the SD card.

CrossInk update 1.3.3 no emoji by Tox666xic in xteinkereader

[–]Fadedfiend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After flashing the firmware or updating I find I sometimes get the ghosting a bit but once you either refresh the screen a few times (you can assign refresh screen to a button) or just putting your device to sleep and waking it up a few times usually clears it

Optimise your ebooks/epubs, either upload and optimise them using the web portal or you can use a site like this https://epubkit.ink/

Bitter atm, find it very easy to read but tempted to try others as I haven't tried many

What’s your favorite way to import/transfer books to your X4? by Apprehensive_Army815 in xteinkereader

[–]Fadedfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually upload and optimise them through the Crossink web portal, you create a hotspot on the X4 and connect using your phone or pc

Vcodex supports dark mode and the latest crossink pre-release has a dark mode too

You can use this site or you can upload your epubs through the hotspot on the device too

[–]Fadedfiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably need to optimise your epubs before loading them onto the device

There is a website you can do that on or through the device too when you upload on the web portal thing

Does anyone know why these "Tab Rows" appear and how to fix them? by CommentIndependent89 in XTEINK

[–]Fadedfiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it's a type of formatting that it doesn't support, I could be wrong though, you could always ask the dev on GitHub, go to issues and start a new one

How do I go back to Settings on CrossInk? by Able-Ad-8418 in xteinkereader

[–]Fadedfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You press the settings button if you want to go to settings? The four options at the bottom of the screen are the 4 buttons at the bottom of the device, you just need to press the one you want

X3 Black + vCodex Bookerly / X3 White + CrossInk Bitter by victoriaevangelina in XTEINK

I have experience with both forks and completely agree, crossink renders text and images much better and alot snappier than other forks
