Hi,

So I've been trying to get my Calibre catalog onto my Android device (Milestone 2.1) using Aldiko.

1. First I tried using the Calibre2opds + Dropbox method as outlined here and here. Of course, I set compatibility to "ALDIKO" when generating my catalog. After generation, I can view my catalog.html just fine in a browser, but when I copy+paste that same Dropbox link into a Custom Catalog url in Aldiko, it always FC on me (I have tried both catalog.html and catalog.xml).

2. Therefore, I next tried the Calibre content server. I set it up using http://myhostname:8080, and entered that as a URL for a Custom Catalog in Aldiko. However, this failed to open as well.

If anyone has any insight onto any of these methods, or if anyone is successful at connecting/using Calibre + Aldiko using over-the-air, any help would be much welcome.

Thank you.
