LibrarianSync: Kindle collections builder

Hi NiLuJe

First of all, thanks for keeping the sources current.

Now, for the record, I updated my GitHub copy with your last 2 commits and downloaded the updated files to my kindle...

ooops, LibrarianSync was hanging...

Kual log read

env: can't execute 'python2.7
': No such file or directory

Then I realized that I was working from my windows computer and that GIT was saving the files using CRLF instead of LF...

Solution was to change CRLF to LF (notepad+ does that at a mouse click)...

Then when I went to commit the change, GIT told me that the file would be saved using CRLF...

Solution is to issue

git config --global core.autocrlf input

This setup should leave you with CRLF endings in Windows checkouts, but LF endings on macOS and Linux systems and in the repository.

the above quoted from the Pro Git book chapter 8, paragraph core.autocrlf

Of course, I should have downloaded a zip from your GitHub repository and, via 7zip, move the needed files to the kindle...

I've simply hooked a precompiled arm binary taken (as far as I remember) from here and used it to capture whole traffic on the loopback interface:

tcpdump -i lo -w /mnt/us/dump.pcap

Then I've done sync few times, created bunch of collections both on Amazon and Kindle and that's it
I'd rather not share my .pcap file, but you should be able to easy reproduce this situation and most of POST requests to 9101 port contains the AuthToken.

I was fortunate enough to find it in the /tmp folder (that was indeed a pure luck).

And as for

Yeah, I also remember wasting some hours because of this stupid mechanism. Why for f***s sake a version control system would want to modify files it's supposed to provide.

Anyway I see most of the systems slowly migrate to universal \n endline, leaving typewriters \n\r legacy behind. Hopefully that'll happen still in my lifetime

Hi MrTick

Thanks for sharing...

And, as far as luck is concerned, I bet you hide your skills and your developing intuition behind it...

Ok, I may have been unclear about the command:

git config --global core.autocrlf input

According to my experience, if the master on GitHub is saved as a unix file, then after the command, Git accept to save it localy with CR only.(verified with od -c on my local windows repository)...

So yes the workaround (solution?) is there already.

Hi.
Does librariansync works with KOA3 5.12.4?
It’s not creating the collections.
Thanks

I'd say 'yes it should' but it obviously seems it isn't
Do you have python2.7 installed from NiLuJe?

Well I made a mess but finally erased python3 folder from the kindle and left 2.7 There is no uninstall. Librariansync was hanging not doing anything. Hope I don’t pay for it later. After this it seems to work. It said done and all but it was not creating the collections
Then I replace cc_update file that you made. Thanks so much for it and now it’s working.
My hands were shaking all the way just so you know.
Thank you very much. I jailbreak especially for the collections.

Good to hear

This thread has grown quite massive with over 0.5K replies. Here's a source of the most recent version of librariansync that includes update needed for .12+ firmwares:
https://github.com/NiLuJe/librariansync

Maybe it'd be possible for @barsanuphe or one of the admins to add link to that repo in the first post (today is 1st anniversary for barsanuphe inactivity on this forum, hope he'll be back one day )

Thank you! I just downloaded the one in the first page.
I’ll try this one.

Nononono! The one if first page will not work certainly!
Use the one from my link, it's the most recent NiLuJe version with my fixes

[ninki]

I tried the GitHub version and it didn’t work. It says done but it does not create the collections.
Right now I got the newest version of the librariansync from the first page with you fix.
It works that way.

I'm getting a error on my Twilight Blue PaperWhite 4.

Package 'Update_librariansync_20190103_kindle5.bin' (librariansync 20190103 kindle5) is not targeting your device

On a Kindle PW4 that it worked and shows this in the log:

Device Twilight Blue Kindle PaperWhite 4 (2018) WiFi (32GB) (16Q -> 0x4D8)

Is there a file I can update and how do I find the right number/address to map?

UPDATE: I downloaded the "Code" zip from this link, extracted the librariansync folder to the extensions folder of the 16Q and all is well. Someone above my paygrade might want to build the installer and update the OP.

Thanks all!

Hi

I have downloaded the latest librariansync and coppied it to "extensions". Unfortunately, KUAL does not see it.

I am on 5.11.2, PW5, JB'ed with all blows and whistles from snapshots. All is good except for LS, it simply does not show.

Any ideas about what I could be doing wrong?

And yes, I have gone through all the thread, to no avail.

H2D2 if you downloaded git repo, make sure that the folder “librariansync” in the extensions folder is the one that contains menu.json.
I mean, do not extract the whole git repo to extensions, only “librariansync” folder from it
