Calibre device drivers

micha · 06-08-2010, 10:43 AM

Hello everyone,

thanks to all contributors for this great tool!

I'd like to make Calibre sync over a network socket.
It seems syncing requires a device driver, but those seem to only communicate via USB.

Have I missed something, are device drivers actually more versatile, or is there even a completely different way of syncing?

(Using the content server is not an option unfortunately..)

Thanks in advance for any replies!

device drivers are completely abstract. See for example the ipad device driver that talk to the ipad through itunes. Or the folder driver that connects to a folder on your computer.

Your biggest problem will be device detection.
