Content server error in 7.5.1 & 7.6
Hi. I was also receiving the server error from 7.5.1, but once I upgraded to 7.6 the server is now stuck on the loading page. I can no longer access the main library unless I click on the link for the non-Javascript version of the site.
My pc is using Win10. My device is using Android 5.1(Lollipop) and both browsers I have installed (Chrome & Kiwi) are compatible with Lollipop. I know this may be an issue where my device's OS is now outdated. If I have to downgrade Calibre, what can I do to preserve my configuration/settings? Thanks. |

Windows Uninstall. That is it. That leaves behind your settings and Libraries.
DO NOT run one of those 'cleaners'. That will more than likely, find anything related and destroy. ![]() You should really keep backups of both the Library AND the configuration folder. Restoring then becomes mostly just waiting for files to be copied. The other way is a massive rebuild (if you even have all those items) |

As a recent ex-android 5.1 user, I can totally understand. I've had 5.1 on my main phone for almost nine years since late 2015/2016 until last december. Last time I needed a more recent browser for it, I had to test a bunch of versions from the apk mirrors, until I got a working update to my Brave browser, which is a chromium -based more featured alternative.
BTW, I noticed recently that the Content Server also doesn't like my desktop browser anymore - Waterfox Classic. Now I'm planning to migrate to Waterfox current or maybe Vivaldi. Last edited by Comfy.n; 03-05-2024 at 05:01 PM. |

It's the only device I use for reading and this is the first real hiccup I've had with the content server, so I'll just have to forego any future upgrades and keep ol' BLU happy. ![]() |

And you won't get fixes and new features. Welcome to obsolescence.

I've died on the hill of obsolescence many times before. I have resurrected ol' BLU twice & it has served me well. The only thing left to do is to ride it out until the bitter end.

I got this problem with Fully Kiosk Browser on Huawei Matepad Paper too. But Firefox works. I don't like Firefox, but I don't have choice now. The Browser of Pocketbook Era can't load Calibre Content Server either (version 7.6). |
