Yea! Downloading ...

So I must be doing something wrong. I have the latest released version of Vienna and, yet, I see only this:



Should I be running the beta version?

In a related development, the eBook Search app for iOS has added the capability to recognize and download *.ibooks files in an OPDS catalog. It can handle the old Stanza style catalogs as well as most aspects of OPDS 1.1. That backward compatibility widens it utility considerably. I have tested it a...

… continuing (to circumvent the URL limit) … It seems that not all clients and servers are using the same standards. Some are using the old format that Lexcycle developed for Stanza which has been bought by Amazon and is no longer supported. Others are using the official standard which is in version...

Taking a different tack, I tried to subscribe Vienna to the OPDS Test catalog found at: http://feedbooks.github.io/opds-test-catalog/ The feed address is: http://feedbooks.github.io/opds-test-catalog/catalog/root.xml Vienna is able to fetch the top level directory of categories but was unable to nav...

Here's another OPDS server: http://cops-demo.slucas.fr/index.php Read more about it here: http://blog.slucas.fr/en/oss/calibre-opds-php-server Unlike Calibre, this feed validates (see: http://opds-validator.appspot.com/?uri=http://cops-demo.slucas.fr/feed.php). However, Vienna does not provide me wi...

Does the style you use allow an enclosure ? Yes, I selected Enclosure URL in View > Columns. In the Unified layout, that looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0m2gdbte4fcj447/calibre%20OPDS%20issue.png Test with the Default style through the View->Style menu. This is the style that I have been...

Although I see no links to download either *.epub or *.ibooks files as shown in your screenshot, the XML appears to be correct. I have the latest version of Vienna (3.0.0 RC1). <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <feed xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:opds="http://opds-sp...

Yes, I just deleted the subscription and re-subscribed with: http://grumpy.gcsu.edu:8080/opds/navcatalog/4f6e6577657374 Initially, I subscribed with http://grumpy.gcsu.edu:8080/opds and then navigated to By Newest which is http://grumpy.gcsu.edu:8080/opds/navcatalog/4f6e6577657374 Only the Internet ...

Clearly, I'm missing something important. I deleted the feed, re-subscribed, un-subscribed and re-subscribed and refreshed the feed but still see nothing in the enclosure field for any eBook, *.epub or *.ibooks. Screenshot:

Indeed, we now seem to be getting all of the data necessary to Vienna providing download links for both *.ibooks and *.epub files. Currently, neither file type gets a download link if it is from a Calibre OPDS catalog. Yet, Internet Archive *.epub files do get a download link. Is Calibre still missi...

Just an FYI that I am still bugging Calibre development about the lack of *.ibooks acquisition links. Here is my latest bug report.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1320487

As you saw from the response I got to my bug report, the author asserts that the acquisition link IS there when you and I don't see it. Since we're both running MacOS X 10.9, there is the possibility that an OS-specific bug has crept in. My understanding is that Calibre uses Qt to compile for severa...

There isn't that much to configure so I doubt that is an important variable.Server port:8080 Username: calibre Password: <none> Max Cover Size: 600x800 Max OPDS items per query: 30 Max ungrouped items: 100 The server is set to run automatically when Calibre starts.

Here is the response that I received from the Calibre developer: Links for the ibook format are present in feeds generated by the current calibre release. For example: <link href="/get/azw3/1376" type="application/x-mobi8-ebook" rel="http://opds-spec.org/acquisition"/> ...

OK, I will submit a bug report but please help me get clear about the issue at hand. The problem is that the *.ibooks file entry doesn't have a line like this: <link href="/get/epub/434" type="application/epub+zip" rel="http://opds-spec.org/acquisition"/> So, how would ...

We discovered that the OPDS option in Calibre's content server was not configures for *.ibooks files so filed a bug report that has since been acted upon: Calibre has just been updated to version 1.3.6 and the changelog confirms that: • Content server: Make .ibook format files available in OPDS feed...

This can be done easily.

That sounds encouraging and may offer an approach for other apps that have difficulty with Calibre server's OPDS option.

This example olds catalog functions correctly with the two apps I tried, FBReader on MacOS X and eBook Search on iOS. There are two other modes for accessing the same catalog and all three function similarly. web view: http://grumpy.gcsu.edu:8080 mobile view: http://grumpy.gcsu.edu:8080/mobile The &...
