General Connection Error

Saix_XIII · 12-26-2020, 11:05 PM

This happens at different points when transferring books from Calibre via Wireless Device Connection. Sometimes it takes 10-30 min, sometimes a few hours, but it ends up happening eventually. This is the error log from Calibre itself:

Spoiler:

I have the "calibre.companion.debug.log" but it is very long and I am unsure what data from it would be helpful in resolving this.

This error happens to me at some point only on one computer when additional network activity takes place.

Hi,

I get a connection error every time I try to sync my Kindle Fire tablet with Calibre. This has been the case for over a year, and previous posts have received no attention. The error file is below. Is this time out issue going to be addressed in a future release?
