Storytel Reader ver. 1 python problem

[dhad06]

Hi all

Disclaimer - I'm not a coder!

My storytel was unable to connect to Mofibo servers, so it's been factory reset. It could connect to wifi like a charm, but not receive any updates.

I've been following the guide on my win10 machine, no hiccups, before I get to :

python3 tools/repack.py --boot_img tmp/boot.img --out_img tmp/boot-gen1-patched.img --mods_dir mods/gen1/

The result is:

E:\StorytelReaderMods>python3 tools/repack.py --boot_img tmp/boot.img --out_img tmp/boot-gen1-patched.img --mods_dir mods/gen1/
Using work dir: C:\Users\parabaz\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpec1rrce3

cpioinfo.devmajor = os.major(statres.st_dev)
^^^^^^^^

Any ideas?

Hi!

Did you try with the prebuilt boot-gen1-patched.img file instead of building your own? As explained in the Quickstart (step 5) you can download it from the Github releases page.

The error you get suggest that this is a Windows issue. I haven't tested the python scripts on Windows, only on Linux/macOS. If you really need to rebuild the img file you could try in a Linux virtual machine under Windows.
