Looking forward to getting the library cleaned up and in use! I know this is a hardware dependent issue. I don't have any issues with Plex 'losing' the connection to those drives. I run Plex on the Mini, but have way more multimedia content to serve up than I'd would probably fit on an internal drive (and don't want a stack of externals), which doesn't have any redundancy. I have an app (Caffeine) I use on the Mac Mini to ensure the drives don't sleep, because of the very same issue that was mentioned relative to network drives. With the change in location of the database to an internal drive, I am obviously hopeful that I won't experience any further database corruption. Now I'm in the process of resurrecting the database and cleaning up the metadata. I can connect through the web browser to my library as I could before, so I know the port forwarding is working correctly. I'm not sure why it should matter whether Wi-Fi is on since I'm not connecting through my internal network, unless it is presuming that the device is a solely non cellular connection. The one thing in this dialog box I don't understand is the prompt for Wi-Fi to be on.

The proof of the 'fix' is that I could connect to the Content Server with my phone using Calibre Companion and see/browse the library. So I went into the Preferences->Tweaks and looked for the tweak mentioned regarding the interface and changed the '0.0.0.0' to my Calibre server's internal IP address, restarted the Calibre server, and it now shows the proper internal IP address and port number.

I found, though, that initially the Content Server IP address was still reported as 127.0.0.1. I re-installed the prior version, which I luckily still had in the recycle bin. I ended up uninstalling the current version of Calibre, since all of this took place after I 'upgraded'. It should show the internal network IP address.Ĭan you connect to 192.x.x.x via the web browser on your phone? If so, and CC cannot connect, the problem lies there, not in calibre.

Calibre web db location is not valid
