Hi,

I can't seem to get this working either. I'm on macOS with Caliber 5.5.

I have a library name "Calibre Library". I opened a book to get the URL.

The URL I get from the Calibre Viewer is:

Code:

URL for this position: calibre://view-book/_hex_-43616c696272655f4c696272617279/206/EPUB?open_at=epubcfi(/2/2/4/2@49.92:50)

I then made a new URL for showing the book:

Code:

calibre://show-book/_hex_-43616c696272655f4c696272617279/206

When I click this, Calibre opens but doesn't go anywhere, or show the book.

Just to check I made sure things made sense (0a at end is null terminator):

Code:

xxd -p <<< "Calibre_Library" 
43616c696272655f4c6962726172790a

I also tried hex encoding with a space instead of underscore (removed the 0a in the URL):

Code:

xxd -p <<< "Calibre Library" 
43616c69627265204c6962726172790a

calibre://show-book/_hex_-43616c69627265204c696272617279/206

In this case, Calibre also opens but doesn't go anywhere, or show the book.

Thanks!
