Hello!

I have a calibre server running from within a calibre client running on a linux machine. My aim is to access that server as well from a windows machine calibre client instance.
The server is configured to run on 10.1.1.19, port 8081 with a URL prefix of /calibre and has username/password auth

According to the commandline documentation of calibre, on the windows machine I should start calibre.exe --with-library http://10.1.1.19:8081/calibre/#Calibre_Bibliothek in order to connect to the library server remotely.

It does exactly nothing (no return, no error, nothing). I tried combinations of
http://10.1.1.19:8081/calibre#Calibre_Bibliothek
http://10.1.1.19:8081/calibre#library_id=Calibre_Bibliothek
http://10.1.1.19:8081/calibre/#Calibre_Bibliothek
http://10.1.1.19:8081/calibre/#library_id=Calibre_Bibliothek

all those also with
http://username:password@10.1.1.19:8081/[...]

Calling simply calibre.exe opens calibre with access to the mapped drive network calibre db (which I want to avoid for obvious reasons)

Accessing the library server using a browser with
http://10.1.1.19:8081/calibre#library_id=Calibre_Bibliothek or "http://10.1.1.19:8081/calibre#library_id=Calibre_Bibliothek" leads to the library selection page, appending &panel=book_list leads to the library view

Have I missed something, what else could I try?

thanks,
Marcus
