Content Server shows 2 libraries, one empty

[Michael J Morris Jr]

The Content Server shows two different libraries when I test it using Calibre under preferences/sharing: "calibre_library" and "calibre_library1" - The first one contains no books, the second contains all my books. This behavior causes problems with Calibre Companion. Calibre shows that I have only one library though when I use the GUI commands. (I did not create multiple libraries using the Calibre capability!) There seems to be no way to delete the empty "calibre_library".

This behavior was not present in the past. It either began with an upgrade to a new Calibre release, or when I migrated my library to a new computer. Not sure.

Calibre Version 3.14 (present on 3.13. and 3.12 as well) running on Windows 10 (latest build)

The server is not magic it gets its list of libraries from the same
config file as the rest of calibre. So I dont see how it is possible for
it to show a library that does not exist anywhere else. And as far as I
know calibre companion works with multiple libraries just fine.

The config file in question is gui.json which you can access
by going to Preferences->Miscellaneous->Open config directory. You
can remove libraries from calibre by right clicking the calibre icon on the toolbar
and choosing Remove library
