@twentw, glad you figured out the instructions. Version 1.0.4 of the Marvin XD plugin fixes the error you reported in the configuration dialog.
The
iOS reader applications plugin is a driver calibre uses to communicate with supported iOS reader applications like iBooks, GoodReader and Marvin. This driver handled the fundamental tasks of transferring books between calibre and your preferred reader application. When you click the Device icon in the calibre toolbar you'll see the books installed in your reader application. This plugin is the one that needs to be configured to work with Marvin.
Marvin XD is a GUI plugin that goes well beyond the driver, giving you remote control of Marvin from calibre. You don't need Marvin XD to handle basic communications with Marvin.
It's not possible to combine the functionality of the two plugins into a single plugin, as most (if not all) other readers and reader applications are not designed to communicate with calibre like Marvin.
Hope the explanation helps, and again, glad you got it working.
