I tried some, just guessed, but I failed.
The log says there is no option like that.
Besides of not known arguments I assume a certain version from up there this would work.

It would be helpful to use, because I mustn't explain new users how to set this.

Qs:
What are possible arguments?
Which version is needed to use that?

Thanks for every help.
One question is what version of calibre are you running on your Raspberry Pi?

Using calibre 5.30 under Windows, when I started the server from the command line with the --book-list-mode option ?, it gave the following output:
Code:
calibre-server.exe: error: option --book-list-mode: invalid choice: '?' (choose from 'cover_grid', 'custom_list', 'details_list')
I tend to suspect you are using an older version of calibre that did not support the option.
