Nexus 7, Chrome, canoot "see" Calibre content server
I've used Calibre for over a year - but was frustrated when we bought our Nexus 7 in July - could not transfer books there (only newly purchased from Amazon).
Dedicated today to solving that -- I've spent hours reading everything; I was on Calibre 0.8.60, saw wireless was added on x.65, downloaded x.66 today and purchased the Calibre Companion app. I've been able to "send" books to our Nexus (even tweaking it to store them in the Kindle app folder - hoping to sync bookmarks with my wife's Kindle 3 - but that is a different discussion) - but I cannot browse FROM the Nexus. I have everything enabled, and I can see my library from any PC in house -- //desktop:8080 (yeah, I know, a generic name... but it works: desktop, NAS, laptop, kids, work) Chrome, on our Nexus 7, continually gives "Oops! Google Chrome could not find desktop:8080" -- no matter how many different ways I try... with slashes (both directions), etc. I even tried the IP address... Ugh! Any ideas? (I've read this forum for a while, and have enjoyed the learning results - had to join today to figure out what's wrong? Seriously, I'm not that drunk! *edit: Corrected goofy typos. We're also GMT-7, so only 5 pm now. Last edited by goglen; 08-26-2012 at 08:28 PM. |

dwanthny- I do have the content as I can see it from the other PCs in our house.
chaley - 192.168.0.2:8080 "spins" for a while (a minute?) whereas //desktop:8080 fails immediately. So does //desktop:8080/browse However... 192.168.0.2:8080/browse -- works! I almost frustratingly installed alternative browsers last night, but didn't want to clutter the tablet. Now, time to play with the CS... Thanks! |

chaley - I see on your site you have a php server... I'm not a UNIX guy, but I'd love for a way to run a content server on my ReadyNAS - after all, that's where my libraries are, and my PC goes to sleep after a couple hours of "lack of attention".
Since the ReadyNAS runs on Linux - is that what your php server code is for? There are lots of addons for the ReadyNAS (Plex, etc)... Related to that, I have 3 separate Calibre libraries - mine (Sci-Fi, mainly), wife (anti-sci-fi), and "youth" for the kids... but I don't see a way to switch back & forth between libraries |
