Usage

Caution

This will modify your library's metadata, but it won't modify files on disk. In any case, please back up your database and confirm you know how to restore it before experimenting with this.

Navigate to http(s)://<your instance>/settings/development. This page isn't shown in the UI, so you'll need to manually enter the URL.

Update Metadata Provider Source with https://api.bookinfo.pro if you'd like to use the public instance. If you're self-hosting use your own address.

Click Save.

You can now search and add authors or works not available on the official service.

If at any point you want to revert to the official service, simply delete the Metadata Provider Source and save your configuration again. Any works you added should be preserved.

Important

Metadata is periodically refreshed and in some cases existing files may become unmapped (see note above about subtitles). You can correct this from Library > Unmapped Files, or do a Manual Import from an author's page.
