Calibre with Win 8.1

clockmaker · 07-08-2014, 08:52 PM

I have just started using Win 8.1. In thee connect/share -- content server the connection at the other end works but the menu it gives on login is not the normal Calibre menu but a few lines which have the names of the earlier screen followed by the address of the caliber files on the server. Clicking on any of the lines gives a cherry 404 error and then goes on to the yahoo site.
I have tried it with 2 versions of Calibre, with the same results. It appears to be a problem with Win 8.1, I think.
Has anyone found this difficulty or should I be doing something, that I am not doing? The mode of use is otherwise exactly the same as was in Win 7.

If there is a solution to this please let me know. Thanks

Did you check your firewall?

Thank you for your suggestion.
Yes the firewall for Calibre is public. The output still is as below:

and clicking on these lines gives

404 Not Found

The path '/xxpils/browse' was not found.

Powered by CherryPy 3.2.2

I do not know why it is looking for a directory path that does not exist

Where is /xxpils/ coming from? Have you specified a URL prefix in Preferences->Sharing over the net?
