But, attached is a beta that is working here. It hasn't been done in exactly the way that @13xforever did it, as I'm still thinking and experimenting. And gzip is specified elsewhere. I'm loathe to release it as using such a specific user agent is probably going to fail soon. |

Thank you, this beta works well.
A small detail : tags were previously downloaded in my language / language of the book (French), they are now in English |

As for the other code, I just needed to know where to place it and I would have been OK. |

@Davidfor, this is terrific! Thank you! I installed your beta version from message #121 and ran a test using Calibre 4.23. With this beta version and Kobo selected as the only metadata source, Calibre successfully downloaded metadata and covers for almost all of the last 20 books I bought from Kobo.
Thank you again! |

Adding my voice of thanks for the fix - it's great to have my primary source of books back 'online' in Calibre, THANK YOU!

Thanks for the beta update above. It's working well for me. One thing I have noticed though is it seems Kobo is presenting Series differently and it seems to have broken how the plugin retrieves volume numbers. It'll get the series name, but everything is showing as Volume 1, although I can look on Kobo and see that it has the proper volume number listed. This seems like a fairly recent change as when I first used the beta for a few books it found the volume number just fine, but when I went to add some today it wasn't working. Its been a couple weeks between, so I'm not sure when it started occurring exactly.

I can confirm the "everything is series number (1)" bug. It has become the norm for books I've bought in series, the most recent was a book I bought 2 days ago. The 1st screenshot shows the book in the Kobo store, the second the listing for that version's ISBN in the metadata import plugin and the third shows the listing for other editions.
It has become so routine that I tend to mix and match the metadata download - I prefer the books to have the covers match the copy I bought from Kobo, but I also prefer not having to continually change the series number. |

I also had the series number bug happen a little while ago, but I forgot what book it was in order to replicate.

I just checked the last 10 Kobo books that were part of a series I imported to Calibre, and two of them listed the series position correctly - the two that were ACTUALLY first in their series.

Unchecking all other metadata sources I am able to replicate it:
("Traditional British"? It takes place in Mississippi...) |

Update to version 1.9.0
I have just updated the plugin to version 1.9.0. This is to fix the problem with series info and handle the other site changes.
The changes in this release are:
Calibre will announce the release in the next hour or so. As usual, if there are any problems or suggestions, please post them here. |
