There is a problem in the latest calibre2opds (v2.4 and v2.5beta1) if you have comments with non-ASCII characters where such characters do not display correctly. Is that the problem you are seeing? This is fixed in the current source available for download and will be part of the next binary distribution.

Hi itimpi
That is the problem that I am seeing (using released version of 2.4). I will look out for the next release.
Thanks

Patiently waiting...

Could we have another beta? Preferably one that fixes the FNF exception I was getting? Alternatively, advice on debugging calibre2opds (or at least on building it in Eclipse) would help me to fix it myself...

Have you actually tried to follow the instructions for building from source? You do not need to use Eclipse - just have the JDK installed. We have tried to make it as painless as possible to do so. The fix is already in the source so in theory it should just be a case of getting the latest source and running the batch file to build calibre2opds. However, from past experience the chances are that you will find you have questions on the steps documented so that we need to expand on the write-up.

The main thing holding up pushing out a new build is that we are trying to track down a fault that makes calibre2opds seem to loop in the middle of generating a sub-catalog. The problem is that we have not been able to reproduce this except on large libraries and getting enough diagnostic to identify the cause is proving both slow and difficult.

I actually have built from source. That was reasonably straightforward, just by following the directions. I asked for advice on debugging (rather than building) quite intentionally.

My goal is to poke around in the debugger partly for my own amusement, and partly because doing so might lead to contributing some actual programming or debugging effort.

P.S. It's nice to know that my particular issue is already addressed in the current source. Thanks.

Fair enough. However I am not familiar with Eclipse - I use the JetBrains IdeaJ development environment. I use that on Windows, and I do not think that IdeaJ runs on a Mac (although I could be wrong). I would have thought that virtually any articles you can find on using Java with Eclipse on a Mac should be relevant.

You can also do work by simply using the IDE as a viewer/editor for making changes, rebuilding, running, and then examining the log files (assuming you have enabled trace level logging). I find that I often have to resort to that level of working to find problems that only get triggered a long way into a run so that interactive debugging is not really practical.

If you build from the latest source (now from Google Code rather than Launchpad) then you will notice a LOT of changes compared to the current release available for download. So much so that the next release is being promoted to be the first in the 3.0 series rather than the enxt in the 2.x series.

The download links seem to be down. All of them take me to this:

Quote:

Lost something?
This page does not exist, or you may not have permission to see it.

If you have been to this page before, it is possible it has been removed.

If you got here from a link elsewhere on Launchpad, sorry about that. We’ve recorded the problem, and we’ll fix it as soon as we can.

Otherwise, complain to the maintainers of the page that linked here.

If this is blocking your work, let us know by asking a question at Launchpad Support . Include the error ID in your message.

dpierron · 11-06-2011, 03:54 AM

Hi there,

The download and everything that was on Launchpad have been moved to our new site.

We made an announcement on Launchpad but it clearly didn't work...

Best,
David.

itimpi · 11-06-2011, 03:55 AM

We are migrating the main web site to WordPress (Dave Pierron wants blog capability

), the code from Launchpad to Google Code (we find it easier to work with than Launchpad). You should find that the download links are OK if you go to either of:
http://calibre2opds.wordpress.com/
or
http://code.google.com/p/calibre2opds/
If a download link from either of these is not working then please let me know.

If you picked your download links up from somewhere else then please mention where and I will see if it can be corrected. As you can imagine it is easy to miss some places we should update when doing such a migration.

Please also feel free to mention any other links (not download ones) that need attention.

EDIT: I see David got in ahead of me

- but I as my answer is a little more comprehensive I will leave it

dpierron · 11-06-2011, 04:07 AM

Pfff... more comprehensive.. pfffff...
Me was first !

Let me just add that I bought us a domain name : calibre2opds.com ! Yay !

So :

The project website
The project website (if the above does not work, until the DNS servers are updated, in 24h max.)

FYI:It looks like the "what's new in 3.0" link is not working on the site.

That is strange - I thought we did not have a "What's new in 3.0" link on the new site yet as it needed major revision to incorporate all the bright ideas that David has incorporated into calibre2opds recently! On the old one it seems to work OK although the information is a bit out-dated.

Corrected ; the page is private because 3.0 is not out yet, but I left the link in the "what's new" page (dumb me)...

I'll post a few dev notes today !

FrozenTrout · 11-10-2011, 10:28 AM

Are there going to be OS X .app bundles for the new versions? I've been manually putting them in the old one, but would be nice to not have to do that each time...
