Calibre 3 / Marvin / OPDS

HendelTBD · 06-17-2017, 12:38 AM

Installed Calibre 3 on my Mac, got the content server up and running, can browse the web interface and successfully download a book. I can also access the content server via OPDS in Marvin on my iOS devices (within my LAN), and view the book list.

But when I try to add the same book to Marvin using OPDS that I was able to download from the web interface, it seems to begin (a rapldly incrementing percentage counter appears briefly) but then almost immediately shows "Cancelled". The book never appears in Marvin.

I routinely pulled books from OPDS with Marvin with Calibre 2.x. Could be a problem on Marvin's side, I suppose? Don't know where to begin troubleshooting this.

Look in the server logs Preferences->Sharing over the net->Show server logs

if there are any errors. But most likely it is Marvin not liking something about the headers the new server uses. UNfortunately, it is impossible for me to say what that might be. You'd have to ask the Marvin developer to look into it.

FYI, The new Calibre 3.0 Content Server works great with my favorite reading app, MapleRead (v1.7), in both OPDS and HTML modes.

FYI, this has been answered in the Marvin forum.

It works fine in Marvin. I was able to download several files using both the Browser functions, and the OPDS connection from Marvin.

Just need to figure out the new system and how to maneuver around and make sure you are only downloading a file that Marvin supports (ePub, cbz). I assume there is a setting in the content server that specifies only specific file types to be listed...but haven't gotten that far yet.

Cheers,
