Instantly significantly improved the value of my Chromebook - in fact I don't even have to use the Chrome browser, phew! I use Firefox - much better privacy. |
Sorry to necropost a 2 year old thread - but any chance you have been able to get Wireless syncing working with your Chromebook / Calibre install?
I'm running the same Chromebook as you (fantastically capable machine for the price IMHO), and Calibre 7.21. Calibre seems to start both the wireless transfer option, and/or the library server, but I can't get other devices on the network to connect to either option.
I have Linux port forwarding turned on (in the Chromebook settings) for the relevant ports Calibre is using for these services. The library server shows up in chrome on the Chromebook where Calibre is running, but NOT on any other devices on the network.
My Kobo Clara 2e running KOReader gives me a timeout when trying to connect to the wireless device connection service, both in Auto mode, and with the IP/port settings manually set to what Calibre is running.
I'm fairly new to Calibre, and very new to KOReader, so it's entirely possible it's user error, but I've done a bunch of hunting and haven't seen anything else that makes sense to try.
Thanks!
ETA: USB syncing works fine, so I'm not at all dead in the water, but wireless sync would be handy addition.
