I've found a bug in the plugin. I just converted a KF8/AZW3 file to ePub and the embedded fonts are now corrupt. They are fine when I tweak the KF8, but in the ePub, they are no good.

If the fonts were obfuscated in the KF8 file, then they will be obfuscated in the ePub that Mobi_Unpack produces. This is not a bug ... it's a design choice. There's several easy ways to de-obfuscate those font files if that's something you have no qualms about doing, but you'll have to make that call (and do the homework) yourself. Mobi_Unpack won't do it for you. Last edited by DiapDealer; 07-24-2012 at 10:24 PM. |

I'm afraid you'll just have to be disappointed with mobi_unpack. Further conversation about this particular issue would be rather pointless. Last edited by DiapDealer; 07-25-2012 at 10:28 AM. |

You say that Tweak Book is sorting out the fonts so they are now normal fonts when the KF8 is exploded and that when the KF8 is converted to ePub, the plugin is doing nothing to the fonts.
If that's so, then why aren't the fonts in the ePub coming out normal when Tweak Book is used? |

I have just tried this plugin for the first time and it is giving me errors. I'm running the latest Calibre.
Yes I did restart Calibre! This is on Win 7, 64 bit, 12GB of memory. calibre, version 0.8.62 ERROR: MobiUnpack - The Plugin v0.5.1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre_plugins.mobiunpack_plugin.extraction" , line 163, in unpack_ebook File "calibre_plugins.mobiunpack_plugin.utilities", line 211, in unpackMOBI File "calibre_plugins.mobiunpack_plugin.mobiunpack.mobi _unpack", line 950, in unpackBook File "calibre_plugins.mobiunpack_plugin.mobiunpack.mobi _unpack", line 664, in process_all_mobi_headers File "calibre_plugins.mobiunpack_plugin.mobiunpack.mobi _unpack", line 253, in loadSection MemoryError --------------------------------------- Any suggestions please? |

So is this plugin no longer supported/deprecated?

No. According to Calibre - Preferences - Plugins the latest version of this plugin was released on 18 Jun 2012 and the author is DiapDealer. DiapDealer last responded to a post in this thread 9 days ago. So asking if this plugin is "no longer supported/deprecated" is extremely passive aggressive.
It would have been more polite to add some details about your situation and ask again. Does it happen with every book? Was it a prc, mobi or azw? How large is the book? Is the book unique in any way, dictionary, bible, programming guide? What is the origin/source of the book? Since you reported a memory error I'm guessing you ran out of memory with this book and that this problem doesn't happen with other books. With any luck someone with more might be along to help you further. |

@JSWolf: This plug-in is primarily intended for users with solid reverse engineering skills. If you don't understand the limitations of reverse engineering don't use this plug-in.

Hey guys ... just got back from vacation a day or so ago and I'm just getting around to catching up on some online stuff.
Anywho ... yes, this plugin is still being actively maintained and updated. I'm a little behind the times with staying in sync with the underlying stand-alone mobi_unpack engine, but I don't think the latest update(s) in the stand-alone code would change anything here. Dwanthy asked some excellent questions. I would have asked them all—and the answers to all of them will be very helpful in debugging. In addition, to those questions, I would ask: is that ebook file viewable with calibre (or other mobi/kindle devices/apps) before unpacking? Because it sure looks/sounds like a corrupt/unexpected/unprecedented MOBI header. The error is occurring in the underlying mobi_unpack code, so if you have the ability to run python scripts, you may want to try using the very latest stand-alone script (link in the first post in this thread) and see if it produces the same error. Enabling debug mode will provide even more detailed output that may help identify the issue. The very best way to troubleshoot this would be if I had a free, legal copy of the ebook file in question. If it's a retail ebook and it's free or very, very cheap, feel free to give me the details on how I can lay my hands on it (or one that exhibits the same behavior). Just don't upload the file here if there are ANY questions about copyright/legality. Feel free to PM me if you have any copyright concerns. Last edited by DiapDealer; 08-03-2012 at 07:30 AM. |

No rudeness was intended. I waited 6 days before asking. I am very happy to learn that DiapDealer is here and looking after it.
To answer some questions: It is a mobi. It is viewable in Calibre and a Kindle Keyboard. It was generated by the Amazon InDesign Plugin, latest version, 0.971. There is nothing special about the book, it is not large. I have 12GB of memory, so it can't be that sort of memory that ran out. I would be delighted to create a new mobi file of the start and chapter 1 of the book, and send it to you. Obviously I will check that it gives the same error. I will PM DiapDealer to ask where I should email it. |

Excellent. I've never dealt with a MOBI created with the InDesign plugin (that I know of), but keep in mind that even though it's available as one of Amazon's publishing programs... it is the only one that's still considered "beta"—whatever that suggests. Look forward to checking it out.
By any chance, have you produced other MOBIs with the ID plugin that Mobi_Unpack has worked with? |

Inexplicably the plugin now works perfectly every time. Even on the same book that it failed on before. Baffling.
