Kindle Browser unable to access Calibre-Web
My Kindle 'Experimental' brpwser refuses to connect to the Calibre-web link. I'm able to connect to any website, but when I use a numeric domain like xx.xxx.xx.xx, I get the 'Webpage not available' message. Is anybody else experiencing this?
This is new behaviour: I was using Calibre-web to download books off my server until 2 weeks ago, both on my Kindle and my partner's (an older variant). It might be because of a new firmware update, but I'm posting here in case anybody else has this issue. My current Calibre setup: Server running via docker with the Content server enabled and accessible over the 8081 port. |

you may need to specify the port since calibre server is NOT on the default 80
Code:
xx.xxx.xx.xx:8081 Can you even get to that port using your PC's browser? Yo might need to include Code:
http://xx.xxx.xx.xx:8081 |

Another possibility is to use http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/mobile to use the simplified non-Javascript interface.
Also note that calibre-web and the calibre content server are very different bits of software. |

Update: It works now, automagically. I have no idea what changed.
-------- @DNSB: At the time of posting, I did try that. Same result. It works now though. @theducks: I did specify the port but forgot to mention it in the post. Apologies. It works now though. Thank you for your help! |
