Content server ?

[Neck Beard]

I am trying to setup multiple content servers. I want them to serve by format for only one format per server. So an epub server, a mobi server, etc...

Lets say I have three books in my library.

book 1 formats: epub, html
book 2 formats: epub, mobi
book 3 formats: mobi

Lets also say I have 2 saved searches named epub and mobi:
1) formats:"=EPUB"
2) formats:"=MOBI"

Now I can setup a server and get book 3 just fine with the following restriction: search:"=mobi" and not search:"=epub"

My question is, how do I get book 3 and only the mobi format of book 2 ???

If I setup a server with search:"=mobi" as its restriction. I get books 2 & 3
but I also get the epub of book 2 which I don't want on my mobi server.

Create separate config directories, use the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY env var and set the output format to epub in one and mobi in the other.

Okay, if my config directory is %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\calibre\

Create separate config directories

Does this mean create them outside of that one?
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\calibre-mobi\

Or create them inside?
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\calibre\calibre-mobi\

Also after creating the new directories. Do I need to copy all the stuff inside %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\calibre\ into the new directories?

use the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY env var and set the output format to epub in one and mobi in the other.

I don't understand what value to insert for the variable?
How do I set the output?

[kovidgoyal]

Set the output format in calibre. The output format in calibre is what the content server uses to determine the format for its get button.

My output format is set in calibre.

uses to determine the format for its get button

I don't want to change the get button function. Setting the get button function does not limit the formats available. If I go to details or http://127.0.0.1:8080/mobile there are still multiple formats. I want to restrict it to just one format per server.

You cannot.

[Neck Beard]

You cannot.

I was afraid of this.

Is there an easy way to split libraries by format?

I would prefer just one library, but it seems like this would work. Have a master library with only epub. Then have a mobi library. Something like:
calibre-server.exe -p 8080 --with-library "%\epub Library"
calibre-server.exe -p 8081 --with-library "%\mobi Library"

Is there an easy way to split libraries by format?

Looks like there are only 2 options: Copy to library, or save to disk specific format.

I think I'll use penguinaka's method seems easier than copy and remove.
