Calibre Error
When I bring up Calibre I get the following error:
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device (2, 'No such file or directory') Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 56, in run File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 212, in _books File "site-packages\calibre\devices\prs505\driver.py", line 115, in books IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'I:\\database/cache/media.xml' I have PRS+ installed on my PRS-505. I can't remember if I've used Caibre since I've installed it. I upgraded to Calibre's latest version but still have the same problem. I can't access books in calibre with or without my SD card. My reader works perfect otherwise. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

If the file is there you might want to delete it before you disconnect and let it be rebuilt by the reader. This will cause you to lose all bookmarks and history. I just deleted my media.xml, disconnected and let it rebuild. I didn't want to suggest something that will end up causing you grief without trying it first. Just for the record my internal memory has about 90 megs free and I'm using PRS+ v1.02. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 05-12-2010 at 07:49 PM. |

I would backup the files to a directory on your hard drive. Then delete all of the files and let your reader recreate the media.xml file. After the reader is up and running reconnect and see if the media.xml file has numbers attached. |

I saved all the media.xml files except 2. They were 0 KB and windows 7 says they are corrupted and can't be moved, deleted or renamed. When I disconnect and reconnect my USB cable it re-writes another media.xml file with the numbers. After moving all the 40 KB media.xms files I had left only the 2 corrupted 0 KB files. But after adding and removing the USB cable I have added several more media.xml files with the numbers that are 40 KB. |

It sounds as if you need to get Windows to do a check/repair of the PRS-505 file system. You should not have had any problem removing the media.xml files if the file system is not corrupt in some way.
An alternative (and more reliable) solution is to reformat the media from the PRS-505 itself - but that will cause all existing content to be lost and need relaoding. |
