[GUI Plugin] Sending (syncing) by SSH/RSH - Page 2

janvanmaar · 09-15-2014, 11:36 AM

I have updated the code to report a better error message. It happens when the selected book is not available in the format(s) that you require for syncing (see/change the formats under Customize plugin), so you need to convert first. This is now also printed in the version 1.0.2 rather than the ugly error message you mentioned.

I installed and tried to use the plugin with the following results:

First of it all, i try to sync to a network share on a NAS, i have only password protected shares.
I use this with calibre on a mac.

When i enter my credentials in your plugin, calibre wont start anymore without errors.
Plugin tells that i have too much ":" in my settings.

I entered the path to my share in this way: "user

asswd@NAS:/share/folder"

Obviously rsync wont work because of the missing password on the NAS...

My second "problem" is that i would send the whole library to the NAS, including the database and all folders inside my library, not only a sort of files. I want to use that rsync-feature as a backup for the whole library...

This is great thanks for this - excellent work!!!

One quick q: I'm able to send books via your plug-in to my Kindle.
But the refresh isn't working. The books show up after I reboot the Kindle though.
On a Kindle PW 3 running 5.8.7.0.1.

Here's my settings:
root@192.168.1.9:/mnt/base-us/documents/ ; rsync ; MOBI,EPUB,TXT ; 1

Thanks again!

Actually the command on my Kindle to refresh everything is
"lipc-set-prop -- com.lab126.scanner doFullScan 1"

(In the plug-in, it was set to be dbus-send --system /default com.lab126.powerd.resuming int32:1 but I guess that's depreciated now)

Working now!

I am glad you found the plugin useful! I only own the old Kindle Keyboard (still works wonderfully btw), therefore just the older way of refreshing. With the original plugin, did it say 'Error refreshing files on Kindle:' ? If so then the plugin can simply run your command in case of this error (ideally this would be based on the Kindle version but I do not have the time to figure that out)
