Frequently Asked Questions related to Extensions.
|
## Recommended Extensions and Sources
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## General
|
**Tachiyomi** does not endorse or recommend any source, and there is no best extension.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### What are some recommended extensions? What source is the best? What is the replacement for source X? Where to read series Y?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Tachiyomi does not endorse or recommend any source, and there is no best extension.
|
|
||||||
Instead, we encourage users to spend some time trying out a few sources themselves and discover what sources work best for them.

## Scanlator Sources
|
||||||
|
Non-officially licensed series are translated by scanlators, often found on their websites or [MangaDex](https://mangadex.org/).
|
||||||
|
Compare with official sources like [MANGA Plus By SHUEISHA](https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp) or [VIZ Shonen Jump](https://www.viz.com/shonenjump).
|
||||||
|
Learn more in this [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanlation).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### What are scanlator sources?
|
## Requesting New Extensions
|
||||||
|
[Open an issue](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues) on **GitHub** if not already there.
|
||||||
Series that are not officially licensed are translated by scanlators, who either publish on their websites or **MangaDex**.
|
Check the removed [extensions list](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/3475) first.
|
||||||
This practice contrasts with official sources like **MANGA Plus By SHUEISHA** or **VIZ Shonen Jump**, which host officially licensed and translated series.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Learn more about scanlation in this **Wikipedia** [**article**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanlation).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### How do I request a new extension?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues) if one does not already exist.
|
|
||||||
Make sure it is not on the removed extensions list [here](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/3475) first.
|

## Uninstalling an Extension
|
||||||
|
Uninstall extensions like regular apps: through device settings or in **Tachiyomi**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### How do I uninstall an extension?
|
::: tip Uninstalling an Extension
|
||||||
|
In **Tachiyomi**, uninstall an extension via **Browse -> Extensions**, then tap **Uninstall** on the chosen extension.
|
||||||
Extensions for **Tachiyomi** are technically installed the same as standard apps.
|
|
||||||
Either you uninstall them through the app section on your device's settings or do it in **Tachiyomi**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
::: tip
|
|
||||||
To uninstall an extension from within **Tachiyomi**, go to → **Extensions** then tap **Uninstall** on the extension you want to remove.

## Removed Extensions
|
## Removed Extensions
|
||||||
|
Extensions can disappear due to several reasons:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Why am I unable to download an extension that used to exist?
|
* Frequent website changes.
|
||||||
|
* Image scrambling.
|
||||||
Extensions tend to be removed for a variety of reasons:
|
* Scanlator removal request.
|
||||||
|
* Paywall implementation.
|
||||||
* They become too much of a cat and mouse game to maintain due to the website owners changing the site frequently to deter scrapers.
|
* Reverse engineering needs.
|
||||||
* The site scrambles images in more than one way, making it impossible to make every image unscrambleable.
|
* Site shutdown.
|
||||||
* A scanlator team requests the removal of their site from Tachiyomi.
|
* Find the list of removed extensions [here](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/3475), excluding offline sites.
|
||||||
* The site is paywalled.
|
|
||||||
* Require reverse engineering another app.
|
|
||||||
* The site has been shut down.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A list of extensions that have been removed is available [here](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/3475), but it does not include sites that have gone offline.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Split Extensions
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Extensions have been split due to the sheer number of extensions in a single extension, with Madara reaching over 200 extensions at one point, making it unreasonable for both devs and users to filter through extensions.
|
|
||||||
For a deeper explanation of the issue, [this](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/4287) GitHub issue explains in more detail.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### What extensions have been split?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All of them have been split.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Why does my multisource extension show up as obsolete?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The multisource extension is obsolete because it has been split.
|
|
||||||
The multisource extension has been removed from the repository.
|
|
||||||
It is not actually obsolete.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### How do I move to a split extension?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install the extension that your series is from, and then uninstall the multisource extension.
|
|
||||||
If the series shows the source as a bunch of numbers, force close the app.
|
|
||||||
For known issues with split extensions, go to this [GitHub issue](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/5672).

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Do I need to migrate?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
No, unless expressly stated, the internal ID of sources has not changed, so migration is unnecessary.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### What if I uninstall the multisource extension before I install the singular extensions?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See what extension IDs correspond to what extensions [here](https://pastebin.com/raw/QX2scdRT).
