With 2 different Android 11 devices and Calibre Companion (wireless device), the following error occurs (sometimes) for more than approximately 16,000 books
Not with other devices and not when there are fewer books.
And it happens on different networks.
Code:
calibre, version 6.9.0
FEHLER: Fehler: Fehler beim Kommunizieren mit dem Gerät
