Prior to 3.0, I was always able to simultaneously run the content server *and* use the cli calibredb to add & remove from the library. This is useful for a headless server that runs recipes from cron jobs.
- With 3.0, I don't need the content server to make changes, so I run it with "disable-auth," but calibredb complains that "Another calibre program such as calibre-server or the main calibre program is running." Yes, yes it is, but it's not making changes, and I never had any issue in the past.
- If I pass the local content server address to calibredb, I can run searches, but to add or remove, it complains, "The username/password combination is incorrect." OK, I understand the content server can't make changes with authentication disabled, but that's an unhelpful message in that situation.
- If I do enable-auth on server, I test in chrome and am able to log in, but when I pass the username & password to calibredb, it complains "A username and password is required to access this server." Yes, I know! That's why I'm providing it!
What am I doing wrong? Can you just allow an override to calibredb to allow it to modify the library even with the content server running, for those of us who don't need the content server to write to the library?
