The 505 in libprs500 - Page 7

UPMan · 12-13-2007, 09:14 AM

I've searched the forums and wiki and cannot find the answer to this. In the nytimes script, the username and password are used. I want to hard code these values into my script, but can't figure out how to do this. I've tried several methods (making assumptions from my Visual C++, VBasic, etc background...I've not snaked around with Python before) but none are working.

I thought adding:
self.username = 'myname'
self.password = 'mypassword'

just before the "if" clause would set those values, but the script still returns results as though the name/password were not provided. I'm sure I'm missing something simple...

Just write another script in your favorite language that calls web2lrf like this

Code:

web2lrf --username myusername --password mypassword nytimes

Yep, I was making it way too hard. Might want to add that note on the Wiki for all us neophytes to benefit from.

Thanks!

About 75% of the PDFs I convert give me this error message after I've converted them and try to upload them. I have a 505 and am running Vista. Doesn't matter if I try to transfer to the built in storage or to a card.

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'G:\\database/media/books\\The Tipping\nPoint - Malcolm Gladwell_3.lrf'

I have a problem uploading lit files to libprs500 4.30. When I try to add a file I get:

not well-formed (invalid token): line 23, column 32

This is from "Crown Of Slaves", from the free Baen book library. I had no problem loading this book into 4.25, so I've gone back to that.

This bug has already been fixed in svn. Unfortunately I'm too busy to release a new version at the moment.

JSWolf · 12-26-2007, 12:14 AM

Those darned holidays. We really need to do something about them so we can get our software updates.

kovidgoyal · 12-26-2007, 01:20 PM

Actually it's work that's keeping me busy, but I feel your pain ;-)

I have the same problem as the user above with the mouse, except I can use the program. My mouse goes crazy jumping around. The mouse I am using a USB mouse and I thought it had something to do with the USB drive it trys to install. I uninstalled and reinstalled without the driver but I still have the problem. Any ideas?

Hmm i'll see if i can replicate this behavior

I loaded it on to another machine and I have no problems. Not sure why but I think it has to do with the usb driver since the other machine has a PS2 mouse. Also it could be a conflict to some other USB device ... I have lots of them.

kovidgoyal · 12-29-2007, 08:57 PM

Hmm there are similar reports on OS X, unfortunately I'm travelling till the 6th, so you'll have to wait.

Ok I limited it down to the USB mouse. I installed this on a laptop that has internal mouse which is PS2. When I launch libprs500 and use the USB mouse it jumps around. When I use the PS2 mouse, nothing. It seems the software is looking for reader (maybe) on the USB on a interval and it is messing with the USB mouse.

kovidgoyal · 01-01-2008, 08:26 PM

Yeah that's most probably it, but the polling happens at 1 second intervals, so it seems weird that it should mess up the mouse, but I'll look into it when I return.

kovidgoyal · 01-07-2008, 07:17 PM

I can't reproduce this issue on any of my machines. USB mice work fine for me with libprs500 running.
