![]() It isn't clear to me how one supports arbitrary sortable collections such as exist for sonys without having to invent a new set of tweaks and parameters. ![]() Second is working through the collection management issues. I lean to the first because configuration will probably be very target-application specific. Another way would be to have plugins that insert themselves into device driver plugins. Much of this is already there, used by (for example) Meme's kindle collections plugin, but we would need to extend the device drivers to permit the 'connect to' plugin to modify things like destination paths. If we go down this route, I suspect that we might want to build a 'connect to' plugin architecture that integrates with device detection. My guess is that it should be done using 'connect to' instead of a device plugin, which would permit providing application connectors instead of device connectors. If someone is going to play, then beyond putting books directly into the library, something reasonably straight-forward, there are some interesting issues to work through.įirst is deciding how to connect. With Calibre's open source code and extensive SQL/Android access support already built in, this is an area that's ripe for someone to develop who is looking for a project, reads on Aldiko and has basic coding skills. The way it works now, Calibre writes them into an import area and you import them, or you grab them from the content server using Aldiko's network access functions. Are you referring to the folder structure or the actual SQL file?ĪFAIK, to get Calibre and Aldiko to work well together, one would want Calibre to write into the Aldiko SQL file (the "Aldiko database") and write the books into the Aldiko file structure the way Aldiko expects them to be organized. Calibre does the same thing, although the fields and folder structure differ. IIRC, Aldiko uses an SQL database and a folder structure. You wrote about an alternative of just having Calibre "mimic aldiko" in the context of a conversation about having Calibre change the Aldiko database directly, then you say you're referring to directly changing the database. The beginning part is the 'sync to folder' part of calibre, just being used with the same folder structure aldiko already uses to store books. I was referring to directly changing the aldiko database. It could be good, or it could be not particularly useful. I still believe that it could be a very sweet pairing, but I have no idea what has happened in the last year. My plans were to do at least as well as we do with the sony. They have their own priorities, and it makes sense that they pay attention to them.Īldiko does (did) use a database, and at the time it didn't seem outrageous to build a close integration. Note that I am not casting aspersions upon Aldiko. If they didn't care, it was hard for me to care. That, along with the lack of support told me that (at the time) the project was unimportant to them. I am happy with my PRS-300.Ģ) After the first email exchange, no messages were answered. ![]() I was unable to justify spending my own money and my own time to help them, when in the end my only interest was the challenge of it. It was up to me to purchase devices with differing levels of android OS, differing screens, etc. there is anyone who is downloading EPUBs with Android Froyo's Browser or accessing the C/S authenticated with Aldiko I'd appreciate tips.īTW, I know I have the options of connecting the Android device as an ereader (USB), using Save to Disk and Connect to Folder, but the content server is my normal access method.Is that it? I thought it was just lack of interest/financial support to get him an Android device needed to write the code.ġ) they offered no support for obtaining devices. ![]() ![]() To get authentication working, I've tried: Aldiko will not authenticate with the C/S, however, I can access it by removing the password. Like the user above, the browser will access the content server (but not download EPUBs so far or PDFs - only txt). I'm assuming since it works with the browser, that the problem is at the Aldiko end of things, but I thought it worth asking.,Ĭhristmas day and the wife has purchased an Archos 7o Tablet. I'm not sure what I might need to do to get this working. It works when I use the Android browser, but not from within Aldiko. and can browse and download ebooks! Hurray! However for some reason I cannot get user authentication to work. I'm trying to get the Calibre server and Aldiko to play together, but not all is well. ![]()
