Komga + Panels / OPDS setup help / guide?

Panels.XMLParserError error 1

The app is getting a response from the server, but it’s not a valid feed.
I’m going to assume the version of Komga you’re running is not broken and producing a correct OPDS Fedd.

Try opening exactly the same URL you’re putting in the Host field on Safari. If the URL is correct, you should see something like this: Demo Feed
(check Komga’s guide if the browser asks you for the credentials)

If you get a feed like this, the URL is correct. Otherwise, you’re probably using the wrong feed URL.

Paste here a screenshot of what you get. That might help figure out what’s wrong.
Also, sharing the configuration you’re setting might also help.

I’m sorry what do you mean by configuration?

This screen. Feel free to post a screenshot here or send it to me by DM.

Also, feel free to create a test account in your server and share the credentials by DM, and I’ll get back to you with the exact configuration you need to use, or a diagnostic if there’s something wrong.

Hi sorry for the late response, I was trying to setup the test account when I got the connection to work. all I needed to do was change https to http. Does that change affect panels?

Awesome.

Does that change affect panels?

Not at all. That’s the protocol you’ll be using to connect to your server. HTTPS is a secure encrypted connection, and HTTP is no.
It’s fine as long as you’re always connecting to your server within your local network. But keep in mind that if you ever want to open your server outside your local network, to access it through the internet, you’ll have to setup an HTTPS connection. Otherwise iOS will block the communication.

how do you setup an https connection on Komga? I would like to be able to read my comics while on a road trip.

We have a guide for that. I hope that helps

This is too complicated for ordinary users. Can we make some changes in functionality? Similar to the Tachimanga app, they can directly import http links to connect to komga。This is a huge benefit to remote users as I really want my friends to be able to use it together and I’ve been recommending your app。

What kind of http link? Can you elaborate or explain the process?

As far as I know tachiyomi-based apps use plugins written by third-party and require downloading and executing remote code, which is against Apple’s rules on iOS.

Anything we can do to improve or make OPDS servers configuration easier, we are open to any feedback/ideas. As long as they’re within Apple’s Guidelines boundaries.
