Upgraded to Win 10. Calibre not detecting Kindle - Page 3

kovidgoyal · 01-18-2016, 11:27 AM

Yeah that the beta does not work was already established in another thread,
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=269824

now I need to see the output from running (for Kindle)

Code:

calibre-debug -c "from urllib import urlopen; exec urlopen('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/src/calibre/devices/winusb.py').read() in globals(); drives_for(0x1949)"

for Kobo

Code:

calibre-debug -c "from urllib import urlopen; exec urlopen('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/src/calibre/devices/winusb.py').read() in globals(); drives_for(0x2237)"

Make sure to run these commands with the device connected.

I also started comp in safe mode and did same thing using the Beta Calibre with same result

Don't use the Beta Calibre in safe mode. The beta version doesn't work. Use the regular version and try again in safe mode.

My Dell box was also acting 'unusual' after my Win 10 upgrade, esp. in the WiFi and USB areas

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/...rt/detect.html

found a number of old drivers, updated them, and problems went away

Easy enough to check out

As a long time Dell user, I only reccomend that you use the official DELL updates for the Dell supplied devices, they love to tweak the standard mfgrs stuff

Have run your CMD instructions and attach a screen shot.

Hope it helps

Good, that shows my new code is detecting the drives for the device correctly. Try this beta build, it should hopefully do the trick

The Calibre software program does not seem to detect the kindle connection as it did previously
Any advice will be appreciated
When this problem was noticed I downloaded and installed latest version of Calibre so I am up to date

I am having the same problem with my new Mac Pro
El Capitan.Calibre no longer finds or spend Epub or Kindle books.
It appears that the library files for kindle are sip/d (system integrity protected and are not reachable by Calibre.I have even found the my kindle content in ~/library but Calibre is unable to access it.I have been thinking of disabling the SIP feature and reinstalling everything as root>

Any ideas?

Hi Kovid
I am very pleased to announce that your latest Beta version 2.49 Calibre
with the ref 66887680 has worked and detected my kindle

I first connected my kindle and opened Calibre using the previous beta version designated 2.49 and was disappointed that it did not work? Then thought you may have modified it without changing version number? So I downloaded the beta again and installed with the kindle connected.
Calibre opened and after a moment detected the kindle and showed its library.
Just to make sure I safely ejected the kindle and then reconnected it and it still worked. Oh me of little faith

So thank you to one and all for your sterling work.

Now I can do this again

Having sorted that out can someone point me in the right direction to tell me how to sort books into the ones I have read and not read
In Kovid's manual on Calibre there is an example of how to do it but you have to say (Yes) I have read it and (No) I have not.
What I would like to do is have (yes) I have read it but nothing for the many that I have not read as yet.
I do not want to have to insert a (no) on every book I have not read.

I realize this is not the section for this question but if it could be transferred and let me know where it has gone I would be very appreciative

BetterRed · 01-22-2016, 01:29 PM

@Kostas15 - check Preferences->Behaviour>Yes/No columns have three values - the additional one is empty, you could use 'N' to indicate (in your mind's eye) Not finished or Never read again etc.

Thanks for helping to resolve this issue

Can we transfer this request to a more appropriate section please?
and let me know where it has gone

As I mentioned earlier I am no wizz kid and it needs to be kept simple

My version of Calibre is set for three columns I believe has a tick in that box anyway

I think this example is getting on for what I require.
I want to indicate in a column that I have read a book and the ones I have not read will have nothing in the column
Then I would like to be able to sort my library of books showing only the unread ones, the read ones, or all books.
If this tutorial can be modified to show the above that would be great

Example Binary Yes/No type column: Here we are going to create a binary Yes/No type column with column heading "Read", look up name "read" and column type Yes/No. The entry Yes in this column indicates the book is read and No indicates the book is not yet read. After filling the entries and clicking OK in the window in the above figure a new column appears with title "Read" in the main calibre window. By double clicking in the position of the entries of this column a drop down box opens that allows you to select "Yes" or "No" or leave it blank as shown in the figure below. So you can now mark the read status of the ebooks in you collection as done for a few in the figure below. A green tick indicates Yes or read and a white cross in a red circle indicates No or not read. You can also leave the read status blank.

BetterRed · 01-23-2016, 06:17 AM

@Kostas15 - Try clicking on the word 'Read' in the book list column titles - the common or garden way to sort multi-column lists in most software.

Try any of these in the search bar, assuming lookup-name is read, #read:empty or #read:"no" or #read:"yes"

If you're inclined you can create Virtual Libraries with names you want from those searches.

#read:false either a search or VL

Use a VL, then all the power of search OR Tag browser selection is still available

assumes #read is a date type (or T/F 3state) that has not been set

I use a Date to indicate Done Reading (I cheat and use Pree-2000 date to indicate I bailed on one that was not my cuppa )
