Cybook support in calibre - Page 2

pdurrant · 01-06-2009, 04:37 PM

This is from Mac OS X 10.5.6, MacBook. No other peripherals.

Without CyBook connected:
paul:~ pdurrant$ calibre-debug -c "from calibre.devices.scanner import DeviceScanner; s = DeviceScanner(); s.scan(); print repr(s.devices)"
[(1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 539, 24), (1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 33344, 272), (1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 33285, 6501), (1452, 32774, 512), (1452, 34049, 388)]

With CyBook (No SD Card) Connected:
paul:~ pdurrant$ calibre-debug -c "from calibre.devices.scanner import DeviceScanner; s = DeviceScanner(); s.scan(); print repr(s.devices)"
[(1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 539, 24), (1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 33344, 272), (1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 33285, 6501), (1452, 32774, 512), (1452, 34049, 388), (3034, 1795, 306)]

With CyBook (SD Card inserted) Connected:
paul:~ pdurrant$ calibre-debug -c "from calibre.devices.scanner import DeviceScanner; s = DeviceScanner(); s.scan(); print repr(s.devices)"
[(1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 539, 24), (1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 33344, 272), (1452, 32773, 272), (1452, 33285, 6501), (1452, 32774, 512), (1452, 34049, 388), (3034, 1795, 306)]

I don't have a native Windows machine.

This is John. I've figured out the Windows issue. The current driver is only checking for the vendor and product hex id which is not reported though wmi. I'll be importing a fix into my branch in a bit and letting Kovid know to import it into his. This should get it detected under Windows. Once that happens post or open a ticket if anything else isn't working properly.

Could someone on OS X run the following command and post the output so I can see about getting it working on OS X.

Code:

ioreg -w 0 -S -c IOMedia

With Cybook connected, this is what I get:

[u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid24d4&rev0002', u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid24d7&rev0002', u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid24de&rev0002', u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid24d2&rev0002', u'usb\\root_hub20&vid8086&pid24dd&rev0002', u'usb\\vid_0bda&pid_0703&rev_0132', u'usb\\vid_0e8f&pid_0003&rev_0107', u'usb\\vid_152d&pid_2338&rev_0100', u'usb\\vid_1532&pid_0009&rev_2100', u'usb\\vid_1532&pid_0009&rev_2100&mi_00', u'usb\\vid_1532&pid_0009&rev_2100&mi_01']

When Cybook is not connected, I get this.

[u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid24d4&rev0002', u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid24d7&rev0002', u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid24de&rev0002', u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid24d2&rev0002', u'usb\\root_hub20&vid8086&pid24dd&rev0002', u'usb\\vid_0bda&pid_0703&rev_0132', u'usb\\vid_0e8f&pid_0003&rev_0107', u'usb\\vid_152d&pid_2338&rev_0100', u'usb\\vid_1532&pid_0009&rev_2100', u'usb\\vid_1532&pid_0009&rev_2100&mi_00', u'usb\\vid_1532&pid_0009&rev_2100&mi_01']

Hope it helps. I look forward to some result.

ARrgg. After carefully ignoring Calibre all this time, you're going to make me need to learn it after all. Guess I'll need to go back and read all those old threads....

pdurrant · 01-07-2009, 03:37 AM

Wow - that produces a lot of output. I've added it to this message as two attachments - one done without the CyBook connected and one with the CyBook (with SD Card) connected.

It seems, that Cybook isn't recognized under Ubuntu 8.10, 2.6.27-9.
Then Cybook is connected:
calibre-debug -c "from calibre.devices.scanner import DeviceScanner; s = DeviceScanner(); s.scan(); print repr(s.devices)"
[(7531, 1, 518), (1133, 49174, 832), (7531, 1, 518), (7531, 1, 518), (7531, 1, 518), (3034, 1795, 306), (7531, 2, 518)]

disconnected:
calibre-debug -c "from calibre.devices.scanner import DeviceScanner; s = DeviceScanner(); s.scan(); print repr(s.devices)"
[(7531, 1, 518), (1133, 49174, 832), (7531, 1, 518), (7531, 1, 518), (7531, 1, 518), (7531, 2, 518)]

As well I got this error/warning, when I started calibre:
$ calibre
link hasn't been detected!
link hasn't been detected!

thank you in advance

Yep, but it gives me what I need so I can add OS X support. I'll add it very soon.

Hm... I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 for all development. Did you run calibre_postinstall after installing the the latest version of Calibre? Could you verify that you have this file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-calibre.fdi and that it contains an entry for the cybook?

That error indicates you are launching calibre with an argument. launch it as just

Code:

calibre

Ok, I plugged on Cybook and entered
:~$ calibre
link hasn't been detected!
link hasn't been detected!

The result is the same. "Send to device" is inactive. "Save to disk" is working and I can save under /media/Cybook.
That else can I do?

A windows build of calibre with the fixed cybook driver (I hope) is here

If the mount point is /media/Cybook than it doesn't look like it's being picked up by hal correctly. Have you rebooted since installing?

Also, could you attach the output of the following:

Code:

$ sudo lsusb -v
$ sudo hal-device
$ ls -Rla /media/Cybook

put > ~/filename to save the output to disk. A few will be rather long.

Thank you for working on adding Cybook support.
Like another upthread I had been ignoring Calibre but am now interested.

I have just downloaded from the above link, and installed Calibre on computers running XP and Vista.

It installs fine, but doesn't seem to recognise my Cybook as a device.

The internal memory and SD drive of the Cybook are visible to Calibre as drives from which it can copy and save eBooks but that is all.

Send to device remains greyed out.

Is there any diagnostic info I can provide ?

Martin.

ps: With the addition of Cybook support, do you have any plans to add mobipocket format as an output format for the converter ?

kovidgoyal · 01-07-2009, 11:35 PM

MOBI output will come in the next month or so. user_none will follow up about the Cybook detection problem.

I note the request upthread for the results of

calibre-debug -c "from calibre.devices.scanner import Dev
iceScanner; s = DeviceScanner(); s.scan(); print repr(s.devices)"

With Bookeen Cybook Gen3 connected to a Laptop running Windows Vista

[u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid2834&rev0003',
u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid2831&rev0003',

u'usb\\root_hub20&vid8086&pid2836&rev0003',
u'usb\\root_hub20&vid8086&pid283a&rev0003',
u'usb\\vid_0bda&pid_0703&rev_0132',
u'usb\\vid_0c45&pid_624f&rev_0100']

Without
[u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid2834&rev0003',
u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid2831&rev0003',
u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid2830&rev0003',
u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid2835&rev0003',
u'usb\\root_hub&vid8086&pid2832&rev0003',
u'usb\\root_hub20&vid8086&pid2836&rev0003',
u'usb\\root_hub20&vid8086&pid283a&rev0003',
u'usb\\vid_0c45&pid_624f&rev_0100']

So I resume that
u'usb\\vid_0bda&pid_0703&rev_0132',
represents the Cybook.

Martin.
