Pocketbook Lux through RDP

snorro80 · 06-20-2023, 06:37 AM

I have Calibre installed on a RDP windows and I'm connecting my Pocketbook through USB. In the RDP environment the pocketbook is seen as a virtual network station and is assigned a drive letter.

Calibre can connect to and read the folder through connect/share -> folder connect. But when i try to send new books to the pocketbook i get this error:

Code:

calibre, version 6.21.0
FOUT: Fout: Fout bij communicatie met toestel

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\\tsclient\\D\\Books\\Baldacci, David\\Simpele leugens - David Baldacci.epub'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 104, in run
  File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 636, in _upload_books
  File "calibre\devices\usbms\driver.py", line 337, in upload_books
  File "calibre\devices\usbms\cli.py", line 50, in put_file
  File "calibre\utils\filenames.py", line 200, in case_preserving_open_file
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\\tsclient\\D\\Books\\Baldacci, David\\Simpele leugens - David Baldacci.epub'

Anyone with a solution?

I don't think USB devices work well over RDP.

They need to be local. Not just for Calibre.

It actually works perfect. I can do everything with the content on the e-reader from explorer (full edit rights). It's just writing to it from Calibre that doensn't seem to work.

Windows explorer has RDP support. Generally much else won't work.

Can you map \\tsclient\\D\\ to a drive letter (that calibre sees as a local drive letter) as you can on a network share? If you can, it should work. If you cannot, it won't work.
