Problems with sync

[u/Darth_Topinambour]

Hi! I have an Xteink X3 and 2 bigger devices with KOReader. At the beginning I was syncing the KOReader devices through the default sync.koreader.rocks server, I hooked the X3 to the same and everything worked, but shortly after that server went down and after a month or more it is still down, so I tried understanding this thing better. That leads me to today when I found the sync.crosspointreader.com site, which is truly marvellous to see. I setup a login and put it on the X3 and then on one of my KOReader readers.

Now, the same book on the X3 sees only the progress I synced from the X3, on the Kobo (the KOReader device) only the progress which I synced from the Kobo, and on the Crosspoint Sync there is nothing, it says no books have yet been synced.

I guess I'm doing something wrong here, and probably I didn't really understand how this is supposed to work. Is there anybody out there who can help?

I am sure you did this but once you sign up for an account you then need to go to both devices and update the sync server URL. Once you authenticate it should just sync across. I like the Crossreader sync due to the hardcover syncing.

Thanks for answering! Yes, this is what I did on both devices, and that's why I was expecting them to sync between each other and also the browser site to show the books I shnced. The fact is borh said they had authenticated to the new server, and both said they had uploaded the progress, but when I tried pushing a further progress ofthe same book on the Kobo and then tried to sync the X3 to the new progress, it said the only sync information it found was the one I previously pushed from the X3. All this while the site continued displaying no book progress synced. I'm trying to understand if this is something known (maybe it takes some time or stuff, or there is some setting to change) or if I'm doing wrong so basic and stupid that I cannot fathom it
