RSS download: "EPUB Output" problems in v1.2?

enriquep · 09-07-2013, 03:09 PM

I have been downloading "The Economist" RSS for many months with no problems, but something seems to be broken in last version of Calibre (1.2).

The feed seems to download correctly at first, but the progress bar stops at 67%, when (apparently) the articles have downloaded and a new "Running EPUB Output Plugin" status message appears (... exact English wording may vary, I am using the Spanish locale). Calibre freezes and has to be closed in a rather unelegant way.

Any clues? - I am using Calibre64.

Sorry for my crappy English and best from sunny Madrid.

OK, now I see that this is very probably a "recipe" problem, and that I should have posted it in another section (... and have read the background info about "recipes" that can be found there, etc). Sorry, I was unaware of what "recipes" exactly were.

If calibre is freezing it has nothing to do with the recipe and something to do with your system. For one thing, recipe downloads are run in separate worker processes, so they cannot freeze the main calibre program. Here is a list of known incompatibilites that can cause freezing on windows systems
