Issues trying to connect to calibre server - cnicu - 01-04-2019 Hi! I have just installed freda on Windows and I have tried to connect to my calibre server. Unfortunatlely it is not possible to cofigure freda such a way that it produced the correct target URL. I need something like https://calibre.mydomain.com:8077/calibre1234 or respectively https://calibre.mydomain.com:8077/calibre1234/opds All I succeeded by configuring the app was something like https://calibre.mydomain.com/calibre:8077/opds which is not working (as it's also not a valid URL) Can I influence the String that freda builds/uses as target URL somehow? (e.g. by editing the registry?) RE: Issues trying to connect to calibre server - jim_chapman - 01-05-2019 (01-04-2019, 02:25 PM)cnicu Wrote: Hi! Hi, Sorry about the problem with the Calibre setup. The issue is that Freda assumes that 'path' the Calibre URL consists only of '/opds' (which is the default behaviour of Calibre, I think). You're using a customised path '/calibre/opds' and this is causing Freda to get confused. I will take a look at the code, and see if I can make it behave better in this case. But in the meantime, you can get the result you need by instructing Freda to use a generic OPDS source, rather than a Calibre-customised one. You do that by creating an OPDS source whose name does not include 'Calibre'. Then you will be able to directly specify the URL you need: https://calibre.mydomain.com:8077/calibre1234/opds and you will also want to supply the 'search' URL: https://calibre.mydomain.com:8077/calibre1234/opds/opds/search/{0} Please post again (or email jim@turnipsoft.co.uk) if that does not work for you.

Didn't know it could be solved so easily . ![]() Yes, it worked fine apart from the small fact that the search URL has to be https://calibre.mydomain.com:8077/calibre1234/opds/search/{0} (i.e. only one "opds" instead of ".../opds/opds/..." that you initially suggested.) By the way, I have bought the add free version of freda after this calibre stuff worked out. ![]() Best regards, Christian RE: Issues trying to connect to calibre server - jim_chapman - 01-16-2019 Oops - sorry about that typo. And thank you for buying 'ad free' :-) In the next Freda update (just submitted to Microsoft, so it should be there in a day or two) there is a fix, so that the 'edit Calibre source' screen will include a 'prefix' field that you can use, if you've set a path prefix in the Calibre setup screen. |
