I have a question about Calibre Server
It says under Preferences and under Sharing over net and it says this:
If you wish to run the server as Standalone entity please refer to the: Command-line documentation and I looked at that but I couldn't figure out what to do there. Does anybody have step by step instructions on how to do this or an YouTube video on how to do this also |

@Rouge One - if you think you need a video then you're probably over-thinking it. To get started the only options for the calibre-server command you need worry about are --port and --with-library
Which operation system do you use - Linux, OSX or Windows? On Windows a simple starting point would be something like this
If you use OSX you need to read the note at the top of ==>> Command Line Interface BR |

I am using Windows 10 and video usually show you step by step instructions on how to do what you are trying to do and I don't see that IP address on the computer I am using and I even looked in ipconfig and I don't know how you put something in a .bat file

Here's a simple way to find the machines IP address in calibre
On the machine where you want to run the server, start the server from Preferences->Sharing over The Internet, then press Test server, the machines IP address will be in your browsers URL bar as something like http://127.0.0.1:8080/ To create a bat file, start Notepad, type the commands (each command should be on a new line), and save the file as <something>.bat. Why don't you just run the server from within the calibre GUI? BR Last edited by BetterRed; 04-24-2017 at 05:18 PM. |

you want to know your machines current IP
Open a command prompt: Code:
ipconfig -all Mine is under Local Area Connection |

All most people want is to not have the console task(s) sitting in the taskbar. RBTray can do that for nothing, with no installing, and no configuring, just put a shortcut to the exe in start up. You can then right click the minimise button of most non-Metro applications to send it to the tray. And its open source, code is included in the download. BR |

Is there another way to do this without having to pay 49.99 for a subscription for Always Up

But given you started out by asking of there was a Youtube video on how to run a single server task, I seriously doubt you need such a solution. BR |

I asked for a YouTube video because I have never done anything with a server at all and I have no clue what I am doing with the server either
