Help with calibre wireless please?

Techno · 05-06-2017, 07:40 PM

Calibre shows the green instead of red for the wireless device connection, and koreader does say it connected (and it says the IP address and port 9090). But I don't get any connected status in Calibre and the send book to main memory is greyed out.

I am using the latest koreader (v2015.11-1023-g773e24f) and an H2O. I upgraded to the latest Calibre. I have shut down or disabled antivirus/firewall programs. I also tried it with checking the force fixed port box (but in koreader it still said 9090 for the port). I am not doing the optional password. They are both connecting to the same router which uses a password.

What else should I try? I need to transfer ebooks frequently starting soon.

Oh, nevermind, I see it's currently broken in v2015.11-1023-g773e24f.

I tried going back down to the stable version but I don't see wireless in the menu. Even though it's listed as being added to that release, and the OP in that link said wireless had been working in the stable release. I guess I'm just missing how to enable it?

I too am suffering from this issue.

New Kobo Aura, fully updated
New KoReader install, with patch
Newest Calibre, updated plugins

1. Start the Calibre wireless device connection and content server
2. Launch KoReader, connect to WiFi, attempt 'Calibre wireless connection'
3. I am kicked out to the Content Manager, where the header says 'Choose inbox' and I see a list of my books on the device. Clicking on anything does nothing, except for the top right X.

I suspect that in your #3 you need to long press on a folder.

That seems to have worked. The UI/Instructions are not always clear ^-^

Thanks for your help with that part
