Developing your first plugin for KOReader

So, you've been using KOReader on your phone, jailbroken Kindle, or some other device, and realized you want to have some functionality that's not built into it. You've probably looked around in the #koplugin tags on Github, and there wasn't one that met your needs. Good news: KOReader is easily extendable with Lua, you can make your own plugin somewhat easily, provided you know some Lua or are willing to learn the basics!

In this post, we'll go over what you need to set up to make your plugin, and write a basic "Hello World" plugin. For in-depth reference on KOReader's Lua components and examples of more complicated plugins, please look at the source code over at [[their github repo]]. We will briefly go over some basics of Lua here, but this is not a Lua tutorial. Please refer to the [[Lua documentation]] if you want to know more.

What you NEED to Know Before Touching a Video File

A man can only read "Use Handbrake to convert your mkv to an mp4 :)" so many times before losing it, so I am writing this article to channel the resulting psychic damage into something productive.

If you are new to working with videos (or, let's face it, even if you aren't), please read through this guide to avoid making mistakes that can cost you lots of computing power, storage space, or video quality.
