I just tried out the updated plugin with my Kindle app. It worked like a charm. All of my sideloaded books showed up in DOCS, so I can't add them to any collections. Is there a way to get them to show up in BOOKS instead (either with a future plugin release or some other way via Calibre)? Ta!

I took a handful of MOBI files and reconverted them with the EBOK tag added and they still went to DOCS in the app. But now they will go into collections. So yay!

I did some googling and came across lots of articles like this one http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/201...ebook-library/
That link refers to the Kindle Fire but the advice should be valid. G |

Is anyone else having issues with the Calibre to Mavin plug-in? First, when I connected my iPad, it didn't recognize the device.
The second time I connected, it saw the device but then generated a message indicating a Calibre timed out. Not sure what happened. I did just recently upgrade my iPad to the latest software of 7.0.2 - not sure if that has any bearing on the situation. I will try and connect again and upload the error message. Thanks! P.S. The below is what I am getting when trying to send books to the deivce u'st_size' Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 85, in run File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 480, in _books File "/var/folders/z6/d5fyf6kx3v1__0w3cjs2gwfr0000gn/T/calibre_1.5.0_tmp_E8aW2j/bUbEzh_ios_local_db/Marvin_overlays.py", line 314, in books KeyError: u'st_size' Last edited by chilady1; 09-28-2013 at 01:31 PM. |

Two things that I do after every iOS update that may or may not help you: 1) Do a hard restart of the device - hold the Home and Power buttons until the device shuts off and then you see the Apple logo, at which time you release the buttons. 2) Settings|General|Reset|Reset Network Settings. After the device restarts, you will need to re-enter Wifi passwords. If you're still experiencing problems, create an issue with a debug log as described in the first post in this thread. G --edit-- I tried sending a book as you did and I'm not seeing the error you're seeing. I recommend the hard reset in step 1 as described above. Last edited by GRiker; 09-28-2013 at 01:35 PM. |

Thanks G - as a matter of fact, now that I think about, I don't remember re-booting the iPad after the update and I am positive that is the issue.
Thanks for the quick answer - it's something I should have thought about. P.S. Everything working as it should - I didn't re-boot and that caused the problems. Last edited by chilady1; 09-28-2013 at 02:50 PM. |

So this is what I am getting when I try to connect my iPad to Calibre - I did re-boot the device after the upgrade to 7.0 and I also per GRiker's instructions re-set the network settings. After that, Calibre is still have issues with detecting the iPad and it is a hit or miss when I do connect.

@chilady1,
Is the error you're reporting occurring consistently? If so, please create a GitHub issue with a debug log. There have been a few instances of crashes similar to the one you report filed at the GitHub issue tracking site. I have not been able to pinpoint the source of the problem, nor replicate it on any of my iDevices. Here are the steps that have been found to work for most of the people initially reporting similar problems. Each of these steps should be tried individually.
Please report back if one of these steps resolves the problem for you. G Last edited by GRiker; 10-07-2013 at 09:46 AM. |

completely uninstalling the iOS Reader plugin, the Annotations plugin (if still there), the Marvin Plugin and just reinstalling the iOS reader plugin and Marvin plugin not an option?

Hi, I can send an epub book to ibooks without a problem, but every time I try to send a PDF, calibre asks me, if I want to convert it. Both epub and pdf are checked the settings for the plugin. Any ideas?

Try restarting calibre. If you're still having a problem, create an issue at the GutHub issue tracker with a debug log as described in the first post in this thread. G |

I'm running into a bit of a problem with the Marvin XM plug in. I've assigned all my ebooks to collections in Calibre and want to export the collections to Marvin on my iPad. Unfortunately, when the export collections from Calibre selection is greyed out. I'm not sure what the issue is. I do have the collections assigned to a custom column call collection in the plugin setup. Anyone have any ideas? This is on a mac.
thanks |

Figured it out. I needed to start the column name with a lower case rather than upper case, so Collection and Collections didn't work, but collections did.

Problems with OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
There have been significant changes to the way that Apple manages ebooks under OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). Selecting iBooks as your preferred reader application while running calibre under OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) does not work.
At this time, I have no idea if or when this situation might be resolved. As an alternative to iBooks, consider Marvin for ePubs, and GoodReader for PDFs, both supported by this plugin. Marvin has a dedicated MobileRead forum. G Last edited by GRiker; 10-24-2013 at 07:31 AM. |
