How to edit Metadata from Android Tablet

Simple Truth · 11-21-2014, 10:17 PM

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if it is possible to EDIT the main Calibre Library (on my desktop pc) from my tablet.

So let's say that I am in the basement and within my home network, how can I access the metadata (author, title,...) from my tablet and modify, for example, the title of a book?

Install an Android version of a remote access program like TeamViewer?
This will (in theory at least) let you control your PC desktop from your Android device.
I have not tried this myself however googling TeamViewer LAN has descriptions of the method.
Would be interested to hear if it works for you.

If you have a Windows (pro and above) computer, it comes with 'Remote Desktop Connection' (server).
There are clients for just about all OS.
I do connections to a remote XP based weather station logger (Seeing a full XP desktop on a 7" TAB2 is just weird ) using Microsoft Remote Desktop (V8)

If you don't have the feature available (Home versions), You could try VNC (this also allows user to connect to a Linux Host)
