Hello,

I'm trying to set up calibre-web sync with my Libra H2O. It's not working: I added the api_endpoint, but sync fails and nothing appears.

Now, I am not sure if this is related, but the Discover tab always shows "Network Error", even though the web browser works fine. I do not want to use a Kobo account, and bypassed the login with the usual `sqlite3 INSERT INTO user(UserID,UserKey) VALUES('1','');`

Some time ago I believe I disabled the Kobo store/Discover page. I cannot remember for the life of me where I found the instructions to do this; I seem to remember it was on the same page with another tweak, I saw "disable store" and thought cool, I'll run that one as well.

I have since reset my kobo, also tried the hard reset with holding buttons, though I'm not sure if that's actually different. I updated the hosts file with one from this thread, in case the store was being blocked by the hosts file: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=162713

Discover still doesn't work, nor does sync.

The main question is, for those of you who bypassed the login with the above method, does the Discover page work for you?

Thanks!
