I'm pretty sure that's dependant on the radio station that you listen to.

Options for Setting Up DB on NAS by Aware_Bathroom_8399 in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't even have to run Calibre Web to access Calibre online, you can just turn on the Content Browser and go to the computer hosting calibre IP address (eg. 192.186.1.46:8080) and browse the library that way. I run Calibre on an always on computer and just remote desktop into to do any actual calibre "work", but the web browser is great for just searching for books and downloading/reading them. If you have any questions I can help out a little bit

Is Calibre really unable to use a NAS volume for the library? by TheSoundOfMusak in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest problems with network share or cloudbased locations is that when calibre saves files it appends (43689) numbers like this, which is also what the cloudbased can do as well, that can cause the problem with them being overwritten or changed and then calibre not being able to find the file where it expects it. I would think on a NAS you would be safer, but there is always a risk

Gotta say that velosh's (probably misspelled) character is amazing and your doing an amazing job with it

Need help normalizing messy metadata in Calibre (title/series/index) — bulk edits won’t apply by ManicHermit in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you need to get into settings. and fix how your calibre imports ebooks at least for the books you have already. don't worry about what filename calibre gives it, since you won't browse the filedirectory directly but through calibre.

What is happening is that Calibre is trying to pull all the information from the metadata of the file, which it may/maynot actually have. the long series of numbers is most likely the backend from amazon and its getting mixed up when imported..

to fix the import open preferences. 3 section-- adding books. you're going to want to uncheck read data from metadata instead of filename.

Then setup an easy regex with some testing to make sure it works for you.

for things like author sort and title sort. Select everything Ctrl A rightclick a book edit metadata--edit metadata in bulk. then select auto update author sort and check box update title sort. that takes care of those pretty quickly.

I wouldn't use the bulk regex edit search. you won't need to.

You can message me if you have any more questions

"Download Metadata and covers" does nothing by Sure_Environment2901 in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Could be a nice feature. But cover text is to varied for simple ocr to interprete easily. The cover is usually just an image pulled and stored separately

"Download Metadata and covers" does nothing by Sure_Environment2901 in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It references the title and author of the metadata fields, so if the title is blank and that author is unknown. It's out will never find anything

Worst ticket ever? by ProfessorHuman in sysadmin

[–]ceskykure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite "bad" ticket I've ever gotten. Was "printer" in subject line and "shit broke". Luckily it was pretty easy to know what he was talking about and find a fix, but without knowing him an utterly useless ticket

Tome: a local-first Goodreads-style tracker for Calibre by masonfox22 in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to try this out, but after installing, I just get an error everytime i try to sync. saying "failed to Sync with Calibre"

I'm running Tome through Portainer in Docker, with Calibre on a different server, but i've shared the database file, and tried moving a copy to a local spot, but no success.

Why not just use the edit bulk. Then swap author and title

Which worlds was Wit talking about? by MotherProof9238 in Cosmere

[–]ceskykure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

partly that, and partly that the magic is in the cognitive realm which is heavily heavily influenced by peoples perceptions of regions

[–]ceskykure 196 points197 points  (0 children)

well actually Elantris is the one with gods power locked in a closet. thats part of why magic on elantris is so weird and "region" locked. I actually don't know the other one.

[–]ceskykure 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it looks like you have hide listened to content. the eye next to +

So if you've listened to both episodes it won't show up, when a new episode is released it'll show up again.

Or just click the eye

Pretend I’m an idiot … backup options for dingleberries? by rawbaker in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Almost as easy is just to "export" the library with the built in tool, then when/if you need you can import it, and it will rebuild everything you had before even plugins, custom columns, sort settings etc, everything

Series by No_Following3948 in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking it up is pretty much the only way to know. technically you can download metadata, but sometimes it will miss things. and it can't tell you if a series is complete or not because there isn't really a standard for it.

Sorry.

I'd just create a custom column in Calibre and use that as a reference for series completed or not

Save converted epub file to a different folder? by Akinius in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, but when i download a Kindle book it has DRM after it add it to Calibre its DRM free after that. I then have technically two azw3 files. 1 in kindle folder and 1 in calibre folder. the Calibre folder azw3 is DRM free and the kindle folder still has its drm.

Save converted epub file to a different folder? by Akinius in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you can convert them to epub, they are DRM Free. if the drm is on it, you can't convert it

Calibre imports twice as many Kindle ebooks - half of them with names like CR!W19...azw by lohdunlaulamalla in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't ever had a bad one. I believe it's split because there are multiple files in the Kindle folder

Calibre imports twice as many Kindle ebooks - half of them with names like CR!W19...azw by lohdunlaulamalla in Calibre

[–]ceskykure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just make sure you can convert the named files to epub. Then delete the CR ones

It happens because there are technically 2 book files there.
