I use FBReader on my android phone , but can't connect my nextcloud server. The FBReader can't display accout and password input boxes,but Aldiko on Android can.

@hksanduo sorry for intrusion but how do you use FBReader with Nextcloud ? as I see only options for synchro with FBReader server !!

Thanks

I did three things to get it to work, the third being optional:

1: created a non-SNI version of my NC installation for use by tools which don't understand SNI. This version runs on a different port (I chose 8443) and uses a certificate which only contains the NC domain name. This gets around the problem of FBReader not supporting SNI.

2: went into the Network library and used Add catalogue (bottom of the list) to add the above OPDS link (try with and without index.php if FBReader complains about this not being an OPDS link)

3: (optional) added data.fbreader.org to the list of ad-image servers (which points to an empty site on my domain) so fbreader.org does not get a ping each and every time I use the program.

@Yetangitu Thanks for the details and explanation unhappy it's a no-go option for me ! I don't have any hosting without SNI so looks like I'll have to find an other reader more up-to-date :(

Which web server do you use? You might be able to get by with using a proxy or rewrite directive on the default site address, that way it should work as well.

Example with the following assumptions:

create a rewrite or proxy on www.example.org/opds_catalog to nextcloud.example.org/apps/files_opds

I've never tried this but I do not see why it wouldn't work.

@Yetangitu thanks for the details and it could work so long it's your own webserver !! I'm using shared hosting so it's no way :( FBReader should be updated as SNI is standard technology since a while now....

@vincegre I can't use FBReader opds function to sync nextcloud opds catalogs.FBReader apk shows "couldm't connect to host x.x.x.x",but I use Aldiko apk syncs nextcloud opds successfully.
