[FileType Plugin] ACSM input plugin

oscrypto should be included in the plugin, but as a zip file which is extracted during installation. Something must be going wrong at that stage which occurs before your error.

I would recommend going to the plugins folder and deleting or renaming the DeACSM folder if it exists.
Then restart calibre in debug mode and try the installation again. If it still fails then post the log from the installation.

I was hoping to avoid that. I'm remoting into their computer (it's a bit too far to drive to Saskatoon ) and the connection is painfully slow.

Okay, I removed multiple items with ACSM in their name from calibre's plugin directory and removed a couple of references from .json files. 0.1.0 installed happily after that. Copied the account information back and was able to import a couple of books from Kobo and Google.

I'm running Calibre 6.29.0 (I've also tried 7.16.0 with the same result) on MacOS Sonoma 14.5 and I am running into an error when trying to install the v0.0.16 plugin. The error details are below. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried using "brew unlink openssl@3" before the install? After the install, you can use "brew link openssl@3". This assumes that you have Homebrew installed. See Homebrew The Missing Package Manager for macOS (or Linux). Though some of your error messages also suggest that you have the wrong machine architecture version installed.

This actually worked, thank you! I saw people talking about doing this earlier in the thread but thought it couldn't possibly fix my issue. Guess I should've just tried it....

Thanks for the assistance everyone!

Great to hear that your issue is fixed!

When I import a test acsm file from the adobe library, I get an error saying that "Traceback (most recent call last):
File "encodings\hex_codec.py", line 19, in hex_decode
ValueError: string argument should contain only ASCII characters"

When I try to load acsm files that I have downloaded from other sources, they successfully load into Calibre, but they give the DRM error when I try to open them up.

I've attached the config I have set up

The first suggestion that comes to mind is to update your DeDRM plugin. To do this, click on Automatic alpha release with latest changes, under Assets, download the .zip file, extract the DeDRM.zip file from the downloaded file and load it into calibre ( Preferences => Plugins => Load plugin from file ).

Thanks for the suggestion, I went from DeDRM 10.0.3 to 10.0.9, but I'm still getting the same error.

[foosion]

You might have a look at the Libby Overdrive plugin thread. It has instructions for getting a "key" using Firefox or Chrome as part of the importing ACSM process (not the setup suggested in the OP of that thread). Search for firefox or chrome in that thread.

FWIW, I'm using the Libby Overdrive plugin together with DeACSM and DeDRM 10.0.3 to import library books.

[MajoraZ]

Are the instructions in the OP still functional, or has anything changed in the 3 years/30 pages of the thread since?

It is possible the problem is related to one of your keys, presumably the ADE key.
If so, try the workaround mentioned here https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools...ent-1732593861

I have only imported a couple of ASCM books last month, so I may be missing something vital - anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Adam

I'm having the same problem, but redownloading the ACSM files made no difference - Calibre just keeps importing the ACSM file. These are all from the Internet Archive.

Running Calibre 7.17 on Windows, version 0.0.16 of the ACSM input plugin, no idea what I'm doing wrong. (The ACSM files also won't open in Adobe - I keep getting either a E_ADEPT_DOCUMENT_TYPE_UNKNOWN error or E-STREAM_ERROR.)

I tried an ACSM file from another source - one which did open on Adobe - and that was fine.

If anyone has thoughts, please explain like I'm five, I'm NOT the tech-savviest...
