CWA Book Sync breaks "Kobo Plus"?

pmd · 10-21-2025, 05:54 AM

I use Calibre-Web-Automated (CWA) to sync books to my new Kobo Clara BW. It works well for that BUT when I make the change to implement it in "Kobo eReader.conf" to change the API end point per below:

Code:

api_endpoint=https://your-server.com/your-auth-token/v1/library/sync

and set "Proxy unknown requests to Kobo Store" enabled on the CWA server.

Then when I visit the "Discover" tab on my Kobo the "Kobo Plus" sub tab will throw a "Network Error" dialog. The regular Kobo Store (ebook tab) works fine as does OverDrive.

Does using CWA for sync completely break "Kobo Plus"?

I'd suggest enabling as much logging as possible, supplying the log to the CWA team as a bug. I expect that some endpoint required by Kobo Plus is not being correctly handled by their proxy'ing code in kobo.py (https://github.com/crocodilestick/Ca...in/cps/kobo.py)
