zathura with mupdf backend cannot load html src images

[h9j6k]

Hello,

Thanks for your great work!

I compiled zathura with mupdf backend on debian 12. With mupdf-gl/x11, epub books can be loaded without problems except for the epub 3.0 warning, pictures are shown. However with zathura-mupdf, images are not shown. Error log is attached.

$ zathura The\ Secret\ Lives\ of\ Numbers.epub 
info: Opening plain database via sqlite backend.
info: No plain database available. Continuing with sqlite database.
warning: unknown epub version: 3.0
warning: html: cannot load image src='../images/9780063206076_Cover.jpg'
warning: html: cannot load image src='../images/tit.jpg'
warning: html: cannot load image src='../images/rt2.jpg'

warning: html: cannot load image src='../images/f007-01.jpg'
warning: html: cannot load image src='../images/f010-01.jpg'
...

Any ideas how can I compile zathura to fix this?

Thanks.

We'll probably need an epub to reproduce and fix this. As always with the mupdf plugin, help is greatly appreciated.

Can you try the epub file attached? (Just changed extention zip <--> epub) It will produce an error saying epub 3.0 something and cannot load src image. The original epub I used in the first post is too big to upload here.

Greetings, I have been trying to install mupdf, as a backend for zathura, but when installing the zathura-pdf-mupdf plugin, the following error appears, preventing its full operation. I would like your help.
I have it installed via source code:
mupdf 1.25.2
zathura 0.5.10
zathura-pdf-mupdf 0.4.4

Error I'm getting:

You still need to run ninja to build it and install it. There is no error as far as I can see.

This error that appears about the installed plugin, I don't know how to solve it:

Your build is broken: undefined symbol js_toinger. But this is completely unrelated to the issue in question.

Also, -d is used to specify the data directory which explains all the other errors.

@h9j6k, did you find a way to fix it? Bug can be reproduced with every epub file containing images.
