If you can run calibre from source (instructions are in the user manual) you can try it out now, otherwise you will have to wait for me to get around to making a new build. |
Thank you for the help Kovid. It's really appreciated.
I have tried it. It doesn't really work. This whole MTP implementation in the NGP seems flaky.
1) First Calibre comes up and happy recognizes the NGP (meaning no exception is shown).
However looking at the mounted disk it seems it puts the files outside of the NOOK (although the code changes suggest that it tries to put them inside NOOK dir)
Internal storage>
drwxr-xr-x 5 dan dan 0 Oct 9 20:56 NOOK
-rw-r--r-- 1 dan dan 14452 Oct 24 18:58 metadata.calibre
-rw-r--r-- 1 dan dan 256 Oct 24 18:58 driveinfo.calibre
2) then, if I just kill and then start Calibre again it shows the following error, although the context is pretty much the same.
calibre, version 2.41.0

3) Other observations (about the flaky nature of NGP's MTP implementation):
- I cannot have the GNP jmtpfs mounted and Calibre up at the same time
- if the reader goes idle and it shows the screensaver it seems that it terminates the link to the PC
- when I'm just playing w/ the mounted area, sometimes I get input/output errors and the disk is not reachable anymore
