Wrote directly to calibre sync support.
This thread should be closed, considering one can't ask a single question (maybe somebody else had the same issue and knew how to solve it?).
Glad you couldn't be of any help.

I am using CS with a "Smart Device" sync (see msg 234) which provides the indication in Calibre of which ebooks are on that device. Until this week, this sync worked mostly flawlessly; update for the right IP address, and then it would connect with a real time view in Calibre of books on that device (I have multiple devices, color and e-ink, each with different ebooks; I also have a separate whole library sync, using the Content server).

However, now the Smart Device sync is "hung up" on connecting. I have the correct IP and password, and CS shows "connecting"...and then never connects. I've tried to send a book to my device from Calibre, and the job status shows as waiting.

I've tried restarting both CS and Calibre; turning off Content server, and only having Smart connection running; force stopping the CS app...and I cant seem to get beyond this issue.

Any suggestions?

TIA
Ed

The "Read" function has stopped working for me in Calibre Sync... i'll download the epub onto my iPhone, open it in Books or Kindle, and the book won't appear in either app's library. It doesn't work for any book.

I am trying to link Calibre Sync with my Box account. I was able to do this successfully on my iPhone, iPad and, Onyx Boox Note Air 2 but on my Onyx Boox Nova Air C I am having trouble. I am able to successfully sign in, it then asks me for my two factor code which I provide, then it asks me to grant access. After clicking grant access it says it will redirect me to a page but nothing loads. I have tried updating the device firmware, uninstalling Calibre Sync, restarting the device and clearing Calibre Sync cache but nothing helps. I reached out to the Calibre Sync developer and never heard back so I am trying here.

EDIT: In case anyone else has this issue, after playing around with a million ways to try to get it to work, I was finally able to get it to work by logging into Box on Chrome, going back to Calibre sync, clicking Box and this time jg didn’t ask me to login and just took me to the grant access page and when I clicked it this time it worked.

I have been using calibre sync successfully, but when I try to sync now nothing happens - that is, it looks like it's trying to sync, but nothing syncs.

When I try to edit the library info, I get a message

Could not Update Calibre Content Server, reason: Invalid argument(s): pad block corrupted

Any ideas?

No replies, so obviously not a common problem. I just deleted the link to calibre library from calibre sync, and added it again. Now working. (but I had to download everything again, and set up the read/finished column links again).

Depending on your setup, the IP address for Calibre's server may change occasionally.

A good thought, but the server address hadn't changed. (I have its address from the DHCP server on my router set to a fixed address, not just one from the NAT pool.)

Is WiFi involved at either end? Maybe a Band changed at one end or your ISP updated the router (I do hate silent updates on my devices. I understand many folk did not apply the ones that REALLY were needed for security, but not knowing what was done )

The IP address really didn't change. It's the same now as it was before. Yes, WiFi is involved, but both devices are on the same WiFi network.

I'm putting it down to some unlikely error that I shouldn't worry about unless it happens again.
