Thanks for you, too: I'm really sorry to be unable to be more present there but anyway, we're doing our very best to improve Mantano as much as we can!

Cheers,

Jean-Marie

Well I for one think Mantano is a fantastic epub reader and really appreciate your work.

If I hadn't already purchased it, I wouldn't hesitate to pay for it after a short period with the free version.

The improvements on opds support don't cover the calibre server problem. Next time maybe?

Blossom · 10-28-2011, 02:15 PM

You can have both installed it seems. So if you missing out on new features due to buying from Amazon the Free version and Paid version will work together. I just tested it.

If port 80 is available on your system, I suggest changing the port setting for calibre's content server to port 80. The calibre server would then be on http://myipaddress/opds which should work with Mantano (covers and thumbnails still won't work, though). For those that are able to do this, switching to port 80 would make for a quick fix.

Thanks for your help. Even though messing with servers and routers is a little beyond me, I was able to switch calibre from port 8080 to port 80 and ... port 80 doesn't work for me. I did some googling and figured out how to find open ports on my computer. Tried one of them, it works for Aldiko but not for Mantano.

I also found some info about how to free up port 80 but, I'm with blak4dr on this one:

I guess I'll just have to wait for Mantano's developers to figure it out.

Yep!

Just installed version 1.6.3 and Project Gutenberg now works. Little steps.

Thanks Jean-Marie and the rest of the Mantano team for all of your hard work!

Naturally, you don't need to be a voracious poster, as long as you know (and check!) these kinds of forums! (and let us users know that you do

)

So far, I have zero regret about buying Mantano, I'd probably have done the same if the free version were available when I first looked at it.

Does anyone have calibre2opds and dropbox set up with Mantano? I just can't get it work. It works in Aldiko for me but not in Mantano. Should I have the output set to opds or something different?

Thanks for any help.

I'm using this setup with a public DropBox folder. Can I help with something specific? Did you get the catalog to generate and you're trying to get Mantano to recognize it (the URL)?

I didn't know you could do that with Mantano...I just do it through my web-browser. Move the file to where I store my books.

lauras231279 · 10-31-2011, 05:03 PM

yes - i have the catalog generated and it works with aldiko but when i try to add the new catalog in mantano it just opens and says "no results". Am I right in using the .xml file and having the calibre2opds set to opds output?

I had the same issue. Make sure there are no spaces in the URL. The name I gave my library (DropBox folder) had spaces. So, the URL had spaces. I had something like /calibre library/ instead of /calibrelibrary/.

Yes, you want the compatibility level to be "OPDS". Is that what you're referring to. See screenshot.

thanks. I have the catalog in there now but the thumbnails are blank. any ideas.?
