Problem recognising Sony 500
Hi - just a quick heads-up to say I had a problem which might (or might not) indicate an issue with the latest download of Calibre - things were okay at first, then when I plugged the Sony into my machine (a mac) it wouldn't recognise the reader. I tried restarting, but no luck.
I got an error dialogue as follows: PacketError: 'calibre.devices.prs500.prstypes.Answer packets must have a length of atleast 16 bytes. Got initializer of 8 bytes. Failed to perform job: Get metadata from device Further device related error messages will not be shown while this message is visible. Detailed traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre/gui2/jobs.pyo", line 64, in run File "calibre/gui2/device.pyo", line 76, in books File "calibre/devices/prs500/driver.pyo", line 158, in run_session File "calibre/devices/prs500/driver.pyo", line 809, in books File "calibre/devices/prs500/driver.pyo", line 158, in run_session File "calibre/devices/prs500/driver.pyo", line 479, in get_file File "calibre/devices/prs500/driver.pyo", line 396, in _bulk_read File "calibre/devices/prs500/driver.pyo", line 383, in bulk_read_packet File "calibre/devices/prs500/prstypes.pyo", line 741, in __init__ PacketError: 'calibre.devices.prs500.prstypes.Answer packets must have a length of atleast 16 bytes. Got initializer of 8 bytes. |

A reboot should fix that.

Yeah, it started working a little while later, though I didn't do anything really. Go figure.
