Marvin 3 (3.1.2 Build 34) is not finding the Calibre (4.13) OPDS Content Server.

I start the content server on Calibre on my PC (Windoze 10 latest). It shows it as running (10.0.0.8:8080, the port varies sometimes, and the IP varies depending on what IP the computer boots to, obviously).

In Marvin (iPhone X, iOS 13.4.1), I click "OPDS Auto or calibre server". "Searching" appears, but never finds a content server.

If I fire up my browser on the iPhone (Safari) and manually go to 10.0.0.8:8080, it shows the Calibre library. So it's not a firewall issue on my PC.

In the past, updating Calibre (if required) and rebooting has fixed this. But that's not the case now. When I did connect successfully in the past, Marvin would find Calibre almost instantly.

All my books (well, most of them) are DRM-free ePubs. A handful are PDFs.

I'd really like to be able to connect to OPDS Auto from Marvin 3, as it's a really easy way to grab my books. Thoughts?
