calibre-server subdirectory?

[godzilla8nj]

I'm running calibre-server on port 80 for my Kindle. Just got a Roku and am trying to serve video from same box to Roksbox app (http://roksbox.com) which needs content to be accesible via http://myIP/Videos. I know nothing about cherrypy and am having difficulty setting up that subdirectory to point to /home/me/myVids on Ubuntu 10.04. Any help appreciated.

I'll admit to massive ignorance in certain areas, the above statement being one of those areas.

I'm confused, do you have a calibre question?

The calibre server uses a fully virtualized file system, not presenting a 'real' folder tree. For that reason you cannot add directories to it without changing the code. Unless you are willing to do that, you must add a second web server to deal with your videos.

The question then becomes "how to have both calibre and the other web server on the same box?"

Option 1: run them both, setting calibre's server and the other server to use different ports.

Option 2: Have the other web server act as a reverse proxy for calibre while also serving your videos. See http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual/server.html

This looks like the most promising path. Thanks!
