calibre-server on RPI2

[adi2]

Hello,
I'm trying to setup calibre-sever on my RPI2. I've installed version 2.5, and when I try to set library with "calibre-server --with-library=/media/nasdata/e-knjige"
I get this massage
"[17/Apr/2017:21:12:56] ENGINE WARNING: Use of engine.autoreload_on is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use engine.autoreload.on instead."
and server doesn't start.
Please help, I'm new with Linux and commandline.

Where is the library located? If it is on a NAS then you will have to mount the drive before use, even then I do not know it will work.

It's on the USB HDD mounted on the same device where server is. I've tried to put library on the system drive but with the same result.
What about this warning "[17/Apr/2017:21:12:56] ENGINE WARNING: Use of engine.autoreload_on is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use engine.autoreload.on instead."
thanks
bye

Then use:

calibre-server --with-library /home/yourusername/yourlibraryname

*

If your library is on the system drive this will probably work.

calibre-server --with-library "/home/nasdata/e-knjige"

*

If your library is on a second drive then this will probably work.

calibre-server --with-library "/media/nasdata/e-knjige"

Use the cd and ls commands to verily the path to your library.

Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-server that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example “C:some path with spaces”

Open a blower on a pc/tablet and enter

 IpnumberRPI:portnumber

Default port for the sever is 8080

If it still does not work then you might have a port conflict.

What about this warning "[17/Apr/2017:21:12:56] ENGINE WARNING: Use of engine.autoreload_on is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use engine.autoreload.on instead."

If you are not using a Bash script then ignore at this time.

* on my linux system the command works with and without the = sign.

Thanks Bernie,
well the problem is when I type "osmc@osmc1:~$ calibre-server --with-library "/media/nasdata/e-knjige"" into Putty, I see this on the screen "[19/Apr/2017:14:45:51] ENGINE WARNING: Use of engine.autoreload_on is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use engine.autoreload.on instead." and it never comes with osmc@osmc1:~$ like it's not finished sending a command to device, and while I leave it like that (opened Putty window on my laptop) calibre server is working like a charm (I can connect to it browse and download books from my laptop and e-book reader), but when I close that Putty window it stops working.
Any ideas???

That is normal.

When you close the terminal window--in your case putty--that will stop all processes running in that terminal Two ways around that a bash script or use of the --daemonize option.

For the time being use the daemonize option.

calibre-server --with-library "/media/nasdata/e-knjige" --daemonize

I recommend that you look at setting up a VNC for your pi, easter than use tty and putty.

Their are bash scripts for running the calibre server on the internet remember google can be your friend.
