Hi,
I can't get the metadatas from Kobo Books. Here is the log: Quote:
Does anybody have an idea about how to solve this issue? I've already tried with the 1.3.1 version Thanks! EDIT: It seams like it has something to do with the language. I think it searches in French written books only. EDIT2 : Adding "&fclanguages=all" at the end of the query seems to have solved the issue. I don't know if it would be possible to get the language from the metadata, and search only for that language, or for all languages otherwise. Last edited by Aerandir14; 07-10-2018 at 11:36 AM. |

Beta: Higher resolution covers and language support
Attached is a long delayed beta. The changes are:
When I looked at the way the covers are handled by Kobo, I discovered you could set any size and it would generate a cover to fit that. I have changed this to use the size specified in the Tweak "maximum_cover_size". This will default to 1650x2200. For the other languages, the suggestion by @Aerandir14 seems to work. But, I haven't tested many non-English books, and all my testing comes from an Australia IP address. The IP address does seem to have an affect on the result. If this change doesn't help, I might have to use a country or language specific search. That would need a configuration option and I'd prefer not to do that. Please test and report any problems, or success. |

Update to version 1.4.0
I have just released version 1.4.0 of the plugin. The changes in this release are:
Most of the changes were in the last beta. The last item is for a change I made to the metadata editor that has been released in calibre version 3.34. When you press the button next to the identifiers field, if there is a URL in the clipboard, then it will attempt to get an identifier from the URL. That function needs support from the metadata source plugins. As always, calibre will show update in the next hour or so. And if there are any problems, please report them here. |

@davidfor,
I just updated this plugin today. I am now getting this error message when I use Edit metadata > Download cover Code:
calibre, version 3.34.0 ERROR: Download failed: Failed to download any covers, click "Show details" for details.

I decided to completely uninstall 'Kobo Books then start over with a new installation. The good news is that I'm no longer getting an error after the fresh install. I suppose there must have been a problem during my update from 1.3.2 (??? I think) to 1.4.0. The pre-update version was one of your betas. |

Update to version 1.5.0
I have just updated the plugin to version 1.5.0. The changes are:
The first change is for when you use the paste button in the metadata editor when a books URL is in the clipboard. It was only handling the non-country specific URL. As usual, calibre will announce the update in the next hour or so. And if you see any problems, please report them here. |

Error when transfering book
Hi David,
sorry if I am posting this a second time, just bumped in this thread. Is the following eror message probably generated from your pluging? ------------- calibre, version 3.37.0 FEHLER: Fehler: Fehler beim Kommunizieren mit dem Gerät float argument required, not NoneType Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 540, in _sync_booklists File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.device.driver" , line 476, in sync_booklists File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 968, in sync_booklists File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 2513, in update_device_database_collections File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 3046, in set_core_metadata TypeError: float argument required, not NoneType --------------- I am getting this since today when transferring books to the reader. Last transferes were made without error probably a week ago. The books are copied OK, but they aren't listed as "On the reader" in Calibre. Reader: Kobo Aura One PC: Windows 10 / 1809 Plugins: KoboBooks V 1.5.0 KoboTouchExtended V 3.02 Any idea, suggestion, help? Thank you Uwe |

@Harzmounty: Answered in your original thread. And this is a completely inappropriate place for the post. This plugin has absolutely nothing to do with the Kobo devices. Add to that the forum doesn't like multi-posting like this or not giving enough time for a response.

Update to version 1.6.0
I have just released version 1.6.0 of the plugin. This fixes problems caused by changes to the "eBook details" section of the book pages. This meant there was an error getting the publishing details and the ISBN.
As usual, calibre will announce the update in the next hour or so. And if you see any problems, please report them here. |

Hello davidfor,
Thanks a lot for this plugin. It's the best metadata source so far and it helped me a lot improving my library. That being said, I have a couple of trouble with it but I am not sure if it comes from the plugin itself. My eReader is a Kobo Aura H2O and I am using Kobo books ver 1.6.0. My library contains both french and english books. First, when it retrieves metadata for French Editors, KoboBooks is messing a lot with special characters. e.g.: an Editor "Les Éditions Bouquin" appears like this http://prntscr.com/nkb3k8 in Calibre. The problem only appears with the collumn "Editor". Everything else looks good, special characters included or not. Second, Synopsis are correctly dl/shown in Calibre but when I add ebooks on my Kobo, it becomes a bit weird with some random line breaks. e.g: From this in Calibre: A narrative is presented that dwells on the life of miners during the Industrial revolution of France. The book gives the view of the revolution from outside. It explains not only the hideous living conditions of the labourers but also the frustration that lead to the revolution. The book beautifully balances between the individual of society and society itself. To this in Kobo: A narrative is presented that dwells on the life of miners during the Industrial revolution of France. The book gives the view of the revolution from outside. It explains not only the hideous living conditions of the labourers but also the frustration that lead to the revolution. The book beautifully balances between the individual of society and society itself. Once again, thank you for putting so much effort and your time into this plugin. |

Also, are you using a metadata plugboard when sending the books to the device? If so, that might have an error and not producing exactly what you want. And again, if this is coming from the Kobo store, I need some examples to look at. |

It's the "Publisher" column yes, you are right. My bad, messed a bit with my french there.
So here is a few examples of books with wrong characters in Calibre. Please ignore the "extra space" I put to prevent parsed text. https://www.kobo.com/fr/fr/ebook/silo-6 From : Actes Sud Littérature on kobo.com To : Actes Sud Litt& #233;rature in Calibre https://www.kobo.com/fr/fr/ebook/la-defense-lincoln From : Calmann-Lévy To : Calmann-L& #233;vy https://www.kobo.com/fr/fr/ebook/le-...-de-l-anneau-3 From : Christian Bourgois éditeur To : Christian Bourgois & #233; https://www.kobo.com/fr/fr/ebook/m-le-bord-de-l-abime From : XO éditions To : XO & #233;ditions Concerning the Synopsis case, there are line breaks too at the exact position in the HTML view too... I have no idea what I did wrong the first times I retrieved metadata with Kobo Books but I did it again this morning and there are no line breaks anymore and it looks good on both Calibre and my Kobo so nevermind. It probably came from me messing a lot with all the plugins/options of Calibre. I am beginning with it and the beast is not that easy to use to be frank. Sorry to bother you with this one. Thank you for being that responsive by the way. |

Huh, ok I take back what I just said about the synopsis. It's now perfect (no line breaks) on eBooks with "simple" sysnopsis like this one https://www.kobo.com/fr/fr/ebook/har...er-d-azkaban-1
But it's a complete mess when it comes with more "elaborated" ones (some bold text, many paragraphs etc) like this one : https://www.kobo.com/fr/fr/ebook/un-...rt-que-la-peur So I tried to know why the plugin gave me extra line breaks yesterday and not today and it has something to do with the Caliber version I use. Because I went from 3.41.3 to 3.42.0 this morning. So I started fresh with a new Caliber 3.41.3 installation, deleting calibre folders, cache, libraries. Just Caliber 3.41.3 and the Kobo Books plugin. I didn't mess with any other option (just disabling the other metadata sources obviously). Then I added my previous ebook (https://www.kobo.com/fr/fr/ebook/un-...rt-que-la-peur) and here is the result : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...373/3.41.3.png As you can see, the "Normal view" gives me something very close to the kobo.com synopsis. But once I put it in my Kobo, it somehow breaks (red parts on my pic). Then I did the same process again but this time with Caliber 3.42.0 + Kobo Books. New result : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...122/3.42.0.png This time, yay no line breaks but the "Normal view" and Kobo one is far different from the kobo.com website (and I just realize that my screens are all in french, I hope it doesn't bother you too much!). I hope it helps a bit to see more clear. |
