FAKKU Reader Help, Feedback and Bug Report Thread

Daiz · 2014-09-26T16:18:09+00:00

Welcome! This is the help, feedback and bug report thread for FAKKU Reader. FAKKU Reader has been built with both desktop and mobile platforms in mind, and aims to provide a native-like experience on both of these. This means that you will need a decent enough browser to run it - latest Chrome, Firefox and IE11/IE10 should do on the desktop, Chrome should serve you well on both Android (4+) and iOS (7+). Now, you'll probably want to know how it works. Read on to learn about the User Interface, Controls, and User Settings. Index Mode Depending on what you're reading, the Index Mode can either give you a Thumbnail View: Or a Chapter View: (However, if neither thumbnails nor chapters are available, index mode will be disabled and won't be accessible.) Keyboard Up / Down, W / S: Scroll up / Scroll down Left / Right, A / D: Scroll left / Scroll right / At page edges: Previous Page / Next Page (or vice versa if using Right to Left UI controls) Page Up / Page Down: Previous Page / Next Page Home / End: Previous Chapter / Next Chapter Q / E: Previous Chapter / Next Chapter (or vice versa if using Right to Left UI controls) Space: Next Page Enter: Show / Hide UI F: Enter / Exit Fullscreen Mode C: Enter / Exit Free Scroll Mode Touch Swipe Left / Right: Previous Page / Next Page (or vice versa if using Right to Left UI controls) Tap: Show / Hide UI Double Tap: Zoom In / Out Pinch In / Out: Zoom In / Out UI Control Direction Determines how directional page change commands work. As you might know, most content on FAKKU is read right to left, so with this you can also make for example the arrow keys work so that left goes forward and right goes back, etc. The available options are Left to Right, Right to Left or Use Content Direction - the last one simply means that the controls will be left to right for content that is read left to right, and right to left for content that is read right to left. You can also change this setting on the fly on the first page of everything by moving into either direction, and the reader will follow suit. Try it out! Page Display Mode Determines how pages are displayed. If you like to view two pages side by side, then Two Pages When Possible is the option you're looking for. By default the reader uses Singles With Spreads, which displays one page at a time unless the action spans across two pages, like so: Besides there, there is also the option for Single Pages Only, which does exactly what it says on the tin - as such, the above kind of two page spreads will be shown as two separate single pages. Fit to Width if Overwidth Enabled by default and does exactly what it says - it scales the image down to fit width if it would be too big otherwise. Very useful when using the Original Size or Fit Height Page Scaling options! The subsetting But Not When Viewing Two Pages will suppress this behavior when the reader is displaying two pages at a time, and is enabled by default as well. Set Current Zoom Level as Default If you've used zooming on a page, you can use this button to set your current zoom level as the default page scaling. This will change the page scaling method to Set Height with the appropriate Target Height set to your current zoom level. Mouse Dragging Speed One of the ways to scroll the pages in the reader is by click-dragging them with the mouse. This setting controls the speed of said dragging. Default 1.0, with a range of 0.50-2.00. Scroll Wheel Sensitivity Controls the scroll speed of both mouse scroll wheels as well as (two-finger) touchpad scrolling on laptops. Default 1.25, with a range of 0.50-2.50. Version Information At the bottom of the Settings menu you can see version information on the reader and the device you're currently using. When reporting issues it is highly recommended that you copy and paste this string into your report.

How fast is your internet?

Other than that, what device/operating system do you use (Windows, OSX, Android, iOS)? And what browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)?

I just became a subber to give it a shot, but I'm having issues with this reader. I get that the quality is very high, but it seems to take allot longer then it should to load each page for me. It kinda cuts down on the fun when each page loads every 15-25 secs, when you can see a blurry image instead while waiting. Its just annoying, I've never had loading issues on this site before using this new reader.

Does anyone have any suggestions about this?

I have pretty much the same problem. Until December, I was able to read chapters on my PSVita, but now, it doesn't work. I can only load half of a picture and it kinda freezes my Vita =/

I have a 1meg connection, I use windows 7, and use firefox.

Well, in that case, your connection could well be the issue here... 1Mbit is really on the bare minimum end of usability for premium FAKKU content, and more to the point it means you should be getting at least 1Mbit download speed from FAKKU alone (in practice this means that it'd be preferable to have at least a 2-5 Mbit max total connection speed) to have a solid reading experience.

That being said, could you try and see how the reader works in Chrome for you? Just want to rule out the possibility of the browser making a difference here.

I'm trying to read from my tablet, but all I get is "loading" on the header bar and none of the pages would load. Page thumbnails won't load either.

Settings and full screen buttons work fine. But no matter how many times I refresh the trade, nothing appears. This hasn't happened before on my tablet.

Update: it's behaving properly now. Still not sure what caused the hiccup.

the reader at time does not load anything even with clearing chrome cache and restarting it...

May I suggest an option to reverse the mouse in free scroll mode? Being mostly used to dragging the image around in both the usual Windows Photo Viewer as well as in Acrobat, it always feels a bit confusing to have to move the mouse in the opposite directions in the reader.

I'm actually looking into adding click-drag scrolling into the viewer, which would behave like in the programs you mention (and many others). Do you think you'd rather just use that or an inverted free scroll mode?

Dragging would be preferable, it's what I'm used to, after all.

"You Are Challenged by Kogal Takuha" won't appear for me and says "content doesn't exist". Can someone please fix?

Check your controversial content settings.

Hi, I just subscribed and either I missed the posts in this thread detailing this (very likely) or it simply has never been brought up before (very unlikely); is there some sort of Auto-Mode or Hands-Free mode that simply advances the pages for me?

Images have been loading slowly for me this past couple of days. There are times when it loads fast but the slowness are getting frequent.

My internet is 10 mbps and I use Chrome. I never had this problem before when I subscribed last year. Only this month.

All I seem to get when I load any book is just the loading screen and nothing more. Does not matter which content I have selected. I have 300 megs down so I am sure it is not a speed issue.

Do you get an error message of some kind? What browser and operating system are you using?

Sounds like some sort of connectivity issue between the content servers and you. It'll hopefully fix itself in time, but we'll look if there's something odd going on in our end too.

No error message, just constantly saying "loading", happens on both chrome and firefox on my windows 7 computer and on Note 4 both on my wireless and on my mobile data.

The problem I am having is the inability to make the user interface for books read in fullscreen. The interface for subscription content allows me to do this, but not for books I have purchased. I have seen screenshots provided by others that show books should also have this functionality, but this done seem to be the case for me.

I browse on an iPad that has recently been updated to the newest iOS version that was released yesterday. The browser I use is the chrome app. I have not tested to see if other browsers allow for fullscreen or not.

Fullscreening isn't currently available with books on iOS, as iOS doesn't support HTML5 Fullscreen API.

The book reader will be updated to use the same reader as magazines eventually, but this will still take some time.
