A high-performance media viewer optimized for ChromeOS tablets and laptops, providing a fluid, local-first experience. OVERVIEW Shoga Viewer is a fast, easy-to-use media and manga viewer optimized for ChromeOS tablets and laptops. Read your favorite manga, watch videos, and stream from your personal Jellyfin server directly within a fluid, local-first experience. KEY FEATURES - Local & Server Streaming: Open files directly from your device storage, or connect to your personal Jellyfin server to access your media library on the go. - Video Playback & Optimization: Smoothly play video files (MP4, WebM, MKV, AVI, etc.). Includes a built-in, on-device transcoder to automatically convert unsupported codecs for seamless playback without needing external software. - Perfect for Manga: Read in Single or Dual-page (Spread) modes. Supports Right-to-Left reading and automatically fits images to your screen. - Smart Image Enhancement: Built-in tools automatically sharpen low-resolution pages as you read. Choose the right mode for your content: * Bilinear: Standard, lightweight smoothing for general use. * Adaptive Shoga+: Shoga Viewer's proprietary lightweight algorithm, suitable for all types of images and optimized for low-end ChromeOS devices. * Anime4K: Best for colored illustrations and anime-style art. * xBRZ: Best for retro graphics and pixel art. * FSR Shoga+: Best for highly detailed manga and realistic photos. - Private & Secure: All rendering and video transcoding are performed entirely on your device. The app relies on your browser's native password manager for Jellyfin, ensuring your credentials are never stored within the extension itself. - Intuitive Controls: Swipe to turn pages, pinch to zoom, and tap to navigate—just like a native tablet app. - Pick Up Where You Left Off: Automatically tracks your recent folders and lets you bookmark your exact page for later. HOW TO USE 1. Load Media: Click "Select Directory" to open a local folder, or select "Connect to Jellyfin" to log into your personal media server. 2. Navigate: Swipe the screen, use keyboard arrows, or tap the left/right edges of the screen. 3. Customize: Open the settings panel to change the reading layout, zoom level, or upscaling mode. 4.
