Serving all the libraries?

loviedovie · 06-13-2015, 03:32 PM

HI

WHen I enable the internal servers (both the content and the wireless) I can only get the current library that is open in Calibre. Is there a way to serve all the calibre libraries?

Use the command line to start multiple content servers, one per library. See the documentation for calibre-server.

There is no way to serve more than one library via the wireless connection, because the connection is tied to the current calibre GUI instance.

The good news is that this was brought up in a different thread. Kovid mentioned that he intends to revamp the GUI server...although I'm not sure what will be changed. I certainly hope it will have the ability to serve multiple libraries. I'm also not sure of WHEN he will get a chance to get to it, he's pretty busy.

In the meantime you can use the CLI as Chaley mentioned. You'll need a little understanding of network ports and possibly port forwarding.

Cheers,

Yup, take a look at the commit history.

He said it would take a few weeks -- unsurprising. That's still better than before -- people have been waiting for it since at least 2013.

Hi

Thanks for the recommendations. I think I will pass the additional server per library solution because I have like 15 libraries which is not feasible go through this.

I already use the Cops server which is nice but I want to be able to take advantage of the WIreless device driver features.

I just will wait for the actual implementation.
