Oops! I forgot to attach the files. I've sent them again.
As to the other connection methods, I started a content server on calibre, but could not connect to it from the web browser on my device ("took too long to respond"). I also tried reaching it from another computer, which could not connect with the same error. Just for completeness, I tried to connect to the content server from CC, which came up with the error that the content server was not running. And, of course, wireless device connection simply failed, as it has been. So this would seem to indicate that the issue is on my home Wi-Fi network, instead? Should I still try upgrading my calibre version, or is that no longer necessary? |

This log is clearly not complete. Putting aside the WD debug messages, calibre prints something like the following once it is fully initialized.
Code:
Started up in 4.05 seconds with 77 books Grasping at straws, it could be that there was a logging problem in older versions of calibre. Quote:
If the problem is with the hub then things become more complicated because it sometimes works. That implies transient problems instead of configuration problems. One transient problem is load from nearby hubs, which a wifi channel scan might help diagnose. See http://osxdaily.com/2013/12/11/find-...less-tool-mac/. Another might be that the router has "degraded" to the point where its program memory is no longer correct. This can often be fixed by "re-flashing" the router's firmware. It could also be that the router is broken, but this is far enough down the list that we can ignore it. Finally, it could be that the entire network is no longer stable, where IP addresses aren't unique. This can happen if the router is rebooted or otherwise disappears for a time. The fix is to shutdown every device, reboot the router, then restart the devices one by one. This happens to me every 18 months or so. I really wish I could tell you to "do this and it will work". Unfortunately, networking problems are hard. We have had cases where we never found the problem. |

I've been taking the file that opens, and using Save As to save a copy to the desktop, from where I attach it to the emails. As far as I'm aware, that should copy it in its entirety, but even scrolling through the original file that opens, there was no further details to be had.
I'll work through those router suggestions tonight - other than those, is there anything else I should be trying? It sounds like there may still be issues with calibre itself, if it's not producing proper debug logs, or if the WC driver isn't starting up properly. In any case, thank you very much for your help, you've been incredibly helpful in working through this!! |

I followed the directions that you provided to do a Wi-Fi channel scan, and adjusted the channels on my router accordingly. As of right now, calibre and CC are connecting reliably. I'm not sure if this is due to adjusting the router channels or simply because I had to reboot the router in the process. I will check again in the morning.
However, while it's working, I ran another debug session, in which I opened calibre, connected with CC, transferred a book, and closed the session. The logs are attached in another email. Notably, these logs do contain the SMART_DEV lines. |

And yes, that log looks exactly like it should. I wish I understood why the others did not. |
