I can connect over wifi in safari when I type the ip of my computer.
But when I start Marvin and trying to use the calibre funktion there is always the message "connecting" but does not find it. What can I try.

Using calibre on openSUSE 12.3 and using Marvin free edition on iPad Air.

Thanks in advance
Are you trying to connect as a wireless device using the calibre plugin? Accessing the content server is something totally different -- and FYI does not require or make use of the plugin.

The plugin for connecting as a device does not work over WiFi, you must plug your iDevice into the computer.

No need to go to preferences it is in the connect/share toolbar dropdown.
