[Metadata Source Plugin] Comicvine
This plugin allows the download of metadata for Comicbooks from the Comicvine database. It was originally developed by chewt0y and is now maintained by me, jbernardo
Check out the code on Github - and feel free to open issues if needed. Main Features of Comicvine metadata plugin Downloads comics metadata from Comicvine, either by searching for the title or directly accessing the comicvine identifier. Special Notes:
Command Line Interface(CLI) Starting with calibre v0.9.23, calibre offers a command-line interface (CLI) for calling plugins. This plugin supports that option and allows the user to call the plugin's basic functionality from outside calibre without having to install Python or get the plugin's files separately. Details: Spoiler:
Installation Notes: Download the attached zip file and install the plugin as described in the Introduction to plugins thread. Note that this is not a GUI plugin so it is not intended/cannot be added to context menus/toolbars etc. Configure your Comicvine api_key using the plugin settings. Version History: Spoiler:

First time the plugin works for me!! Great job to you both for the update and to the previous creator. This makes it much easier for people who have a large number of Comics/Mangas to work. Thanks again

ComicVine ID not being imported/extracted from CBZ/CBR files
I made a custom column to show the Comicvine ID, I also have it showing in book details. However, I only see comicvine ID on books that I use Calibre to get the metadata from ComicVine.
Most of my comics have metadata including the comicvine ID already embedded (from ComicRack or ComicTagger) but when I import them to Calibre I don't see the ComicVine ID, is there a way to get that data from the metadata already in the files without having to redownload within Calibre? |

Hello,
Is it possible to add options to add the year of the volume and/or the Volume Id to the calibre series names ? This way it will be possible to automatically separate the multiple series that have identical names. The year is not enough as there are still duplicate cases with the volume name and the year. The volume id solve the unicity problem but doesn't permit to sort the series chronologically. So, having the possibility to automatically name the series "volumename (year) (volumeid)" would be a great plus. |

As of now, I have created a fork of the above plugin and unconditionnally change the content of the series field.
When I have a little more time, I will check how the plugin parameters are working and add parameters to make this conditionnally. |

BTW, I think your changes are a great idea. Often I have to do the search first on comicvine, identify the right year/volume, and then query the metadata via calibre after entering the right comicvine id. Last edited by jbernardo; 07-26-2024 at 02:55 AM. |
