[GUI Plugin] OverDrive Libby

[Terisa de morgan]

Thank you for all the information. The new plugin has solved the certificate issue and the token I've been able to get it, so I have it working again for the interesting part for me (holds).

Since the new plugin is working, can it please be put in the first post?

I'd suggest that before that happens, someone needs to update the internal version number to reflect the changes... Currently it still reads 1.9

I modified the .zip file for the plugin downloaded from sgmoore's link to report the version number as 0.1.9.1 to distinguish it from 0.1.9

I'm sorry I'm so frustrated. I got a new Kobo and spent almost two weeks trying to get it to work with Calibre. Returned it the other day. So, just use my tablet, which has been working just fine, but let's step that up. No.

I'm way beyond my geek years where I gleefully spend hours, days, weeks trying to get things tweaked. Now? Looking for stuff that works out of the box. Turns out, that's harder to find than you'd think!

Thanks for the explanation(s)!

@74 I'm don't have the patience to screw around trying to get stuff working.
A thought. Have you tried the Libby app for library books on your tablet? It works fine on iPadOS, MacOS and AndroidOS.

I'm glad to see someone agrees with me that the plugin continues to be useful. Search/hold/borrow works nicely for the moment and is easier for me than using libby. When the book is available I download the acsm file with libby, double click and the book shows up in Calibre. Not as convenient as before, but still better for me than the alternatives.

Hi!

You've got me beat, but I'm right behind you. :-D

I already use Libby on my phone, tablet and PC. I also have a huge eBook library, as well a "real" books.

I really, really wanted to get a handle on organizing and Calibre is the #1 recommendation from Google results. My struggle with this plugin is only the latest frustration. I'm not sure when I first installed Calibre, but it was a long, LONG time ago. And it keeps getting put back on the shelf. Or uninstalled.

It just seems anything that sounds neet and I want to customize, it's a rabbit trail. I'm getting notifications from this thread and was so excited to see the plugin was updated! But NO. Still won't work. Can only get a pass key, not a set up code. Someone else mentioned this, but I didn't see any responses to it. I DO see lots of people who are happy with the update, though! :-D

And I'm happy FOR them!

Now nothing is working. The error message includes "error_response='{"result":"missing_chip"}" which was not there previously.
