that's why I added my closing phrase.

At one stage I ran the server from calibre portable version 3.48 alongside later versions of calibre desktop. When that started to play up I switched to CalibreSpy for a while, it provided read only access to multiple libraries concurrently. But afaik it's stopped working and the developer hasn't been seen for months.
