BookOrbit Sync and/or Dashboard Support?

[getthething]

Hi,

I'm giving BookOrbit a try as a potential replacement for Calibre Web Automated. They recently added a KOReader dashboard that allows you to browse your BookOrbit library, download books, and sync progress and highlights.

The sync works by setting up a custom sync server. I entered that server URL into Crosspoint's KOReader sync setting but it won't authenticate.

I assume the X4 isn't capable of full support for the BookOrbit dashboard, but is it within scope to enable the sync to work?

I've gotten Book Orbit's KOReader sync to work. It does work better with http instead of https and the book has to already be in your Book Orbit library.

Thanks for the reply! I just removed the S in the Crossink koreader sync settings and it still won't authenticate. I am using it through a Cloudflare tunnel if that makes a different. Do I need my local IP for it to work?

ETA: FWIW, the sync between KOReader on my Kobo works through the tunnel.

Ah, the cloudflare tunnel might be redirecting it too many times, and on this device every redirect requires memory and with the memory of a goldfish that can fail

What address are you using on your X4? It doesn't work with the plain bookorbit address provided, you need to append /api/v1/koreader

Adding /koreader did the trick. Thank you!
