Find Obok Failed DeDRM
Hello. Loading epub files downloaded from Kobo into Adobe Digital Editions, then dragging the resultant epub from the Digital Editions folder into Calibre, imports books correctly. However, I started using Obok DeDRM for its convenience, and spot checking the results seemed successful. However, now I've discovered that it's been occasionally failing, leaving me with some sort of encoded book about once in every dozen. So as I find the failed books I have manually replaced those via ADE.
So, first, is there a known issue with Obok failing? And, second, is there a way to find these files that failed import without having to view every book? I have several thousand books, so searches take some time, and i haven't found a reliable search yet (Quality Check - Check DRM doesn't find them, so i assume Obok did something to them). Thank you. |

Try running the Count Pages plugin - it should fail with the DRMed books.

The Obok variant retains a Table of Contents. Any other ideas here? Thank you. |

As far as I am aware Quality Check does not detect Kobo's DRM scheme so it's DRM check is not going to work however since the cover is encrypted, you should be able to use Quality Check's Missing covers to detect them. At one point, I was playing with a utility to check if there was a rights.xml file in the root of the ePub's .zip container but never finished it. Last edited by DNSB; Today at 01:47 AM. |

You are best to download ePub and if you want to read KePub, use the Kobo Touch Extended driver to convert to KePub. I've not had an ePub fail to have the DRM removed.
Which version of DeDRM are you using? This link is to the alpha version with the latest code. https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools...947bf338d3ffda |
