@Kintano: It looks like somewhere some paragraph tags are being stripped. That hasn't happened in the past, so it must be a change in calibre 3.42. I can see another thread with issues where there were two nr tags in a row that has been fixed in calibre 3.42. I'll have to see if that is related.
How exactly are you producing the image from the device? Is it a compilation of screenshots of the book details page? Or something else? It does seem to be doing a new line where there is in the HTML. I'm pretty sure that has changed recently in the firmware, but I'll have to do some testing. |

I gave it a new try today, same process, same book but this time with Calibre 3.40.1 and with this version, it FINALLY gives me the wanted outcome. So there is definitely something in Calibre 3.41.3 and 3.42.0 who prevents Kobo Books from behaving like it should. I checked the recent patchnotes and have found this part in 3.42.0 : "Fix a regression in the previous release (3.41.3) that caused the conversion of HTML to text in comments when [...] converting downloaded metadata to behave slightly differently." I don't know if this is related or if it matters. You judge. Welp, I think I did all I could here. |

I've been noticing an on again off again issue with downloading metadata and cover images from Kobo.
The most recent was Larry Correia & Kacey Ezell's Noir Fatale anthology from Baen. It is on the Kobo site, I added the kobo link to the Ids and still no joy. |

Thanks for the tip DNSB!
About your problem, you are talking about this book right ? I manage to get a match only if I don't fill the field "author(s)" (so just with its title and ids) before starting a search. Probably because there isn't any on the kobo site. For whatever reason, this space is left blank : https://prnt.sc/nmt0xu |

Spoiler:
Removed the (ed) after the editors names in the author field: Spoiler:
If I leave the author field blank in calibre, it works and finds the book. Which makes sense since the returned author field is "". Possibly return a match on title only if no author information is returned? Last edited by DNSB; 05-11-2019 at 09:57 AM. Reason: Fat fingers cause typos... |

Worked fine to fetch metadata and covers on the three books I remembered having issues with and left the current authors in place. |

I'm having an issue installing this plugin in Calibre 4.5 (installed from Fedora 31 distro repo). After downloading the plugin I made the following changes in lines 10-13 in __init__.py to make it compatible with import statements for Python 3 libraries.
import time, re from html.parser import HTMLParser from urllib.parse import quote, unquote from queue import Queue, Empty After those changes and re-zipping the files, it seems to install and work just fine for me. Has anyone else had this issue? Should it have worked fine in my version of Calibre without the changes I made? Is there a repo where I can submit a pull request (maybe one that can somehow import according to python version)? Thanks @davidfor for this excellent plugin! |
