I was using the Kobo Metadata plugin about 30 minutes ago and it worked for me. What country are you posting from is a question that comes to mind.

I actually ran into this just today on both the Aus and NZ servers even though I was using those fine yesterday. Swapping to United States seems to have fixed it so it looks like Kobo are maybe trialling some kind of website refresh?
I’m on holiday until the end of the year with nary a laptop in sight so I can’t take a closer look for the next few weeks. I suggest to anyone else who runs into this to just start trying different countries and hope one works… |

When I try to use the plugin, it cannot find the book I'm looking for. Here's the error message:

Just tried using the plugin, and I've noticed several things while playing around with the extension:
1. An option to change language would be useful, same as with the country. If I'm looking up a book without using the ISBN, the query for a book in French returns the correct result if done in French, and a wrong result if done in English. Quote:

3. If title, author and ISBN are present in Calibre, the search only uses the ISBN. If the ISBN is wrong, then the result is either no metadata fetched from Kobo (if the ISBN doesn't match anything) or the wrong metadata is fetched. Could it be possible to have a fallback mechanism in case the ISBN returns no match? For the second case (wrong metadata fetched because of correct title/author but wrong ISBN), maybe returning both options so we could pick one? 4. I've got a failure when looking up specific books. Not sure how to interpret the log, but it seems to me like the metadata is read from Kobo, but then not written. Quote:
The one difference between a failed and successful attempt is this line, despite my blacklist being empty: Quote:

Amazing, thanks!
I've ran into a few issues while running the latest version, only with books actually existing in the Kobo store but not being fetched. Quote:

That ISBN13 looks wrong (faked by pub?)
The Language is the next after 978 0 <<<0 is English Next is the publisher... BUT there are no leading 0 publishers as this is a variable length with book number making up the rest of the 8 digits The really big Publishers have 1 or 2 digits, the rest are the books ID OK I found an entry in my Library with a leading 0 in the publisher field < there may be bad metadata out there ![]() |

Let me see if I got this right. Do I have to have the ISBN of the book to get the cover?
Because I have tried the latest version that you have posted in this thread and I do get a cover, but not the one I should get if I do the search manually. If you want, try the book "Abandonado en Marte" Spoiler:

No. BUT... Having the correct ISBN (or selected site identifier) helps and speeds up the search.

Ah, it's getting better and better! Almost no hiccups anymore
![]() The only two is was able to find are those ones: 1. ISBN 9780316095839: The plugin works in the US store, but not in the 'other' store, despite the book being available on both calibre, version 7.3.0 Quote:
After testing with a bunch of books, my impression is that the error only happens with the 'other' store. Sorry, I keep bringing up issues, but I'm grateful for your work! |

Anyway, I've updated with a version that fixes this and also adds support for getting results from multiple pages. Only thing to mention is that Kobo seems to be doing some testing in prod with their website again so some regions aren't working right now with this plugin (you can tell because if you inspect the page, its full of "test" tags lol). Hopefully they settle on something because its getting pretty annoying having to find a working region every time they do this.... |
