It seems the libimobiledevice library may detect idevices that are only connected by wifi and this confuses the IOSRA plugin, which expects that there is only one idevice connected (i.e., via usb). On my wifi network I have an old IPad 1 as well as the IPad mini 2 that I am trying to connect to via usb. If I power off my IPad 1, IOSRA connects fine to the IPad mini 2, but if the IPad 1 is powered up and on the wifi network, then IOSRA fails to initialise, because it detects the IPad 1, but fails to mount it as a usb device (it is not on usb, only wifi).

Waahoo!!! I powered down my iphone and FINALLY have been able to connect Marvin on my ipad mini to calibre on my laptop!! YAY!! Thanks so much ShellShock!!

Looks like I spoke too soon. It now works with my iphone 6 and mini, but still does not work with my ipad air 2. I've deleted ios reader and marvin plugins and all the associated preferences files, restarted and reinstalled. Still works with the 6 and the mini, but not the ipad air 2.

Is there somewhere in the code that it is looking for a specific device id or model number? Definitely something device specific with the air 2 and mini 3.

Something strange going on here.

Fundamentally, the developer support for Calibre + Marvin (via the plugins) is minimal, and for Air 2 is probably non-existent. If I had an Air 2 I would have a go at fixing this problem, but I don't so it looks like we're stuck, unless someone else steps up.

You are lucky I have never been able to get this plugin working Windows 7 64Bit and iPad & iPhone on iOS 7.

It's very strange. Although I'm not a developer, most of my career has been in the software industry. Whatever is going on seems unique to the ipad air 2 and mini 3. I'm happy to help troubleshoot and test if anyone has any ideas. I keep coming back to whether the code is looking for specific device identifiers that may have changed with these devices.

hymie · 11-26-2014, 10:16 AM

I'm afraid I need some help. This used to work just fine, but I don't know exactly when it stopped or why.

Linux 3.12.14
Calibre 2.11
iPad Mini 2 (I think) with iOS 7.1.2 and Marvin 2.8.1

When I fire up Marvin, select the Calibre plugin, nothing (obvious) happens in my Calibre. No error message, no Marvin options.

Based on other things I've read, I removed both plugins, deleted the entire "plugins" directory, and reinstalled both plugins. My /var/log/messages file sees my iPad, and my "Debug Device Detection" tells me this:

Spoiler:

And my Calibre debug log

Spoiler:

I turned on both debugging options in each plugin, but I don't know where to find the plugin debug logs.

Your help and your hard work are both highly appreciated.

I'm doing some digging around in the files for the plugin and I've noticed that there is no device id for either the mini 3 or ipad air 2 in the "_init_.py" file.
All other devices seem to have an identifier. I'm going to keep looking to see if I see anything else.

I don't know how to fix it, but could that be an issue? It would appear that it does not see either the air 2 or the mini 3 as valid devices thus it won't connect to them.

You need to post the device debug info.

Here are the updated debug files from an Air 2 connecting to Calibre 2.11 with the latest version of Marvin and iOS Reader plugins.

That combination should work.

Make sure you have the latest Calibre, plugins and Marvin--I assume you are using Marvin?.
Try powering off all idevices part from the one you are trying to connect to.
Make sure you run the Calibre connector in Marvin.

If you are using ibooks instead of Marvin, I recall someone else had problems with ibooks connectivity.

Could be....apparently all USB devices have a vender id (VID), which will be specific to Apple, and a product id (PID), which is specific to the product. So my IPad mini's PID is 0x12ab, and this appears in the IOSRA plugin log once the IPad is successfully connected:

I can see from your log that the connection is not getting that far. We just need to get the PID for your Air 2 - this link shows how to do this for different (linux) O/S: http://www.treshna.com/how-to-find-u...ating-systems/.

This link does a similar thing for Windows 7: https://support.shippingeasy.com/ent...t-Integration-. This works for me - I get back PID_12AB.

So if you can find the PID for your Air 2, in theory we just need to add it to the IOSRA plugin.

Mr. Goodbar · 11-26-2014, 06:26 PM

Doing some additional digging in the init file of 1.4.4 and starting at line 591 it seems to require both a product id and a BCD. By looking at multiple devices the BCD is just the version info without the "period" that is listed for the product id.

On a mac you can find the product id and version by connecting the device to the usb and then choosing about this mac under the apple menu, choose system report and then in the left hand column click usb and you'll see your usb connected devices. This is what you'll see:

iPad:

Product ID: 0x12ab
Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Inc.)
Version: 5.03
Serial Number:
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
Location ID: 0x14500000 / 32
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500
Extra Operating Current (mA): 1600

Now, for the ipad air 2 WiFi version the product id is 0x12ab and the BCD would be 503.

If anyone else has a mini 3 or air 2 gsm the product id will likely be the same with just the BCD changing. From looking at the init file for earlier devices I'm guessing the air 2 GSM BCD would be 504

I've tried to edit the init file and re-compress, but I'm obviously doing something wrong since I then get an error when trying to install from the zip saying it doesn't have a valid init file.

Hopefully this can help someone edit the files and get this working.

You need to zip up the files, I suspect you zipped the IOS Reader folder, i.e.

I can't seem to get it to zip up correctly, but I think we've found the root issue of the connection issue, now we just need the plugin modified appropriately.

@Mr. Goodbar - the Mac users I know who can produce regular zips use 3rd party programs such as Keka. Everyone else always seem to create them with an outer folder, with liberal sprinkles of __MACOSX and .DS_Store confetti

Mr. Goodbar Wizard Posts: 1,005 Karma: 98078 Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Atlanta, GA Device: iPad Mini 4	I'm doing some digging around in the files for the plugin and I've noticed that there is no device id for either the mini 3 or ipad air 2 in the "_init_.py" file. All other devices seem to have an identifier. I'm going to keep looking to see if I see anything else. I don't know how to fix it, but could that be an issue? It would appear that it does not see either the air 2 or the mini 3 as valid devices thus it won't connect to them.
