ebook-convert hangs for mobi -> text | calibre (7.6)
Hi there,
I wonder if anyone has tips on how to go about debugging the following issue: I am trying to convert a book using the cli: Code:
ebook-convert "book.mobi" "book.txt" Code:
Parsing all content... Forcing index.html into XHTML namespace Guide reference 'images/05970.jpg' not found Guide reference 'images/05970.jpg' not found Guide reference 'images/05970.jpg' not found Generating default TOC from spine... 34% Running transforms on e-book... Merging user specified metadata... Detecting structure... Maximum TOC links reached, stopping. Auto generated TOC with 50 entries. Flattening CSS and remapping font sizes... It's Calibre 7.6 on MacOS Sonoma 14.4. Any idea or tip welcome! Thanks in advance! |

Just let it run, pathological cases can take up to 48 hours to convert.

Thanks for your answer @kovidgoyal, I'm sorry for the late reply, I somehow expected to receive a notification e-mail, and then forgot about it. Will try that!

You should upgrade to calibre 7.12. It's not a good idea to report any issues on an earlier version because if it has been fixed, you;ll get the fix and if not, then it can be fixed.

Sorry for the late reply, I hadn't realised I didn't get automatic e-mails for replies in my thread (changed the option now).
Two notes: first, yes, you're correct about the version, I've updated to 7.13 now! Second, however, it worked nonetheless! That pesky mobi file took 8 days to convert, but it did in the end, fantastic! |
