Can't use "Send to device" using content server

skb · 05-10-2013, 02:45 AM

Having issues trying to send multiple files to my Nexus (using Calibre Companion).

I can receive single files via CC (initiating copy via device) but when in Calibre, I can't seem to successfully "send to device".

I get the blue "send to device" button only when using the content server (not using wireless server - not sure if that's significant or not) but when I try to send, I get the following error:

Using Mac 10.6.8 Calibre 0.9.29

This problem was caused by a regression in calibre 0.9.29 that existed for around 24 hours on Friday and Saturday. Re-download and re-install calibre and the problem will go away.

Excellent. Will do. Calibre is just so good that I assumed it was me. Thanks for that.

You are welcome.

We (CC developers) have had some 15 to 20 people contact us about why CC broke, and that of course does not count people who found the solution in this forum. After more than 3 years working on calibre I am still amazed how fast people download new releases of calibre when they become available.
