Hi,

Didn't know if I should post here or Onyx. Both would have been best but I know I'm not supposed to duplicate posts.

Thanks to Chaley's help I did get my large 10.5K library down through CC onto my Onyx Leaf using (sadly) a FAT32 SD card connected by OTG using Content Server and a subfolders template. It went super fast and everything seemed successful. Metadata correctly read, library looking like all my other Android devices. Until I tried to open the books.

No matter what I try, I get this error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to find configured root that contains /my file path then ebook file name.epub that sort of flashes up a bunch of times then "book is missing".

I tried Cloud, Content Server and Wireless to get books down (all at first then just a few to run tests). I also tried to restore a full version of backed up database on a pre-loaded SD Card of books from my Tab S6 and then just change the path to the OTG SD Card which usually works for me on regular Samsung devices but that won't work either. Same java error.

I've tried different sized SD cards (quick summary: Onyx takes 128GB and 256GB as FAT32 but some apps just won't work with it properly, e.g. ReadEra won't load my library from them, it will from a small sample from an 8GB card making this increasingly looking like an expensive brick for my purposes. No CC and no ReadEra). Even the 8GB wouldn't work with CC.

I don't know what to do or what it is. I see people periodically saying they have issues but I've never had any issues with CC and nothing a specific as this. I have a bad feeling it's just the garbage implementation/Leaf's fault.

Path wise it's /mnt/media_rw/SD Card Number/Folder. This seems antiquated for Android 10. This could be an external permission thing I just don't know Onyx is quite foreign to me even getting behind their skin into Android settings they're far more basic than I'm used to w/Samsung.

Version of CC: I've got a 5.4.4.20.apk from somewhere that I don't remember that I tried. Also tried the one from the Google Play Store Pro version that I paid for years ago in my Family Library that's 5.4.4.19.

Holding out faint hope the boffins here have suggestions. Thanks for any help.

P.S. I can't even access the SD card via Moon+ or KOReader either. That's to be expected but my cheap Samsung devices handle ReadEra and my audiobook app via OTG just fine unlike Onyx. Options just super limited on this device overall, sadly. Not meant for data horders.
