Problems fetching Caliber library in Trook (Nook)

I'm trying to access my Calibre library via Trook on my Nook but can't get it to work.

I go to "My Feeds" in Trook, add the url of my library on the Calibre server <http://xxx.x.x.x:8080> and get a response that the feed "Could not be fetched...connection refused."

Do I add anything else to the url? Am I supposed to be putting in credentials somewhere, since the Caliber library settings ask for username & password? I've got Calibre running on my laptop when I try it in Trook, and wifi lock is activated on my Nook.

Well, if the library asks for a username and password, the client trying to connect needs those credentials. Another thing to try would be not to use the full interface, but one of the reduced ones (append /opds or /mobile to the URL and try again).

First, make sure you have the craftycoder version of trook.

Then, use the format http://<username>:<password>@xxx.x.x.x:8080/opds to connect to calibre.

I never got a prompt for login. I'll try appending /opds or /mobile to the URL.

I couldn't get the craftycoder version of Trook to load. It said "this application could not be installed on your phone."

I saw the HOWTO in Trook (also here said to update the settings.db but I wasn't sure how to do that. I haven't googled it yet, but I've been able to install most apps without following the HOWTO instructions.

If you were in a reader app, and not in a browser, it's not surprising you didn't get a prompt. I use the URL format described above to include the userass whenever I'm not in a browser.

This won't help. You need username password to get into those as well.

I'm having a similar problem, although I have my username/password set and everything connects fine.

Two problems:
1) If I don't use /opds at the end of the address then trook returns an error message that it can't parse the data
2) If I do use /opds or /mobile then it simply gets stuck in fetching mode

Can anyone help here? I'm using 1.4 of Trook. Testing the server locally on my network (computer) works just fine.

Do I need to give up on my dream of having a wifi sync to my Nook via Trook?

I know this is a VERY old thread, but I just ran into this myself. Never tried using Trook with Calibre for some reason. What I found is you have to add /stanza to the URL

http://fullIPofyourcomputeronyourhom...calibre/stanza

for example:
http://192.168.2.502:9391/stanza

The server port is what you set up in Calibre. Check your router for your computer IP or get it from the network config on your system. You don't need a name and password unless you forward the port to your computer in your router's setup. If you do that, the your Calibre server is accessable from the internet and YES it should have a password. Personally I never thought it was worth the risk. I also don't have the server running by default as I don't need to download books from it to my devices very often.

Also, you CAN download books from Calibre via the NookDevs browser. It is not near as nice (or fast) as Trook but it works. Just use the same URL but without the /stanza
