LibrarianSync: Kindle collections builder

[eschwartz]

When using kterm

cd /mnt/us/librariansync/
./generate_collections.py -export > export.log 2>&1

It builds a partial list in /mnt/us/extensions/exported_collections.json and then conks out with the following export.log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./generate_collections.py", line 323, in <module>
    export_existing_collections(c)
  File "./generate_collections.py", line 242, in export_existing_collections
    export.update(collection.to_calibre_plugin_json())
  File "/mnt/us/extensions/librariansync/kindle_contents.py", line 113, in to_calibre_plugin_json
    "items": self.build_legacy_hashes_list(),
  File "/mnt/us/extensions/librariansync/kindle_contents.py", line 98, in build_legacy_hashes_list
    if e.cdekey.startswith('*'):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

Kindle Touch 5.3.7
librariansync = Update_librariansync_1.6_kindle5.bin
python snapshot = kindle-python-0.10.N-r10933.tar.xz

@eschwartz: Hmm, could you PM me a copy of your /var/local/cc.db?

(It looks like there's a book entry without a cdeKey set, which shouldn't happen, so I simply assumed it would always exist, an assumption which obviously blows up in our face in this case).

[eschwartz]

Sorry. I will remember next time (if there is one) to backup the db before I export with CM and reregister and rebuild the db with librariansync -- which worked beautifully.

I tried and nothing special happens (scraping + converting + importing)...

Hey All been trying to get this to work and have gone through the whole thread to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue.

So my device is a kindle pw2 (9017) which i had to rollback the firmware to jailbreak it. Manage to get KUAL and LibrarianSync up and running after i re-update it back to the new version.

I use the Calibre Kindle Collections to create the plug in and I go to my kindle and use the "Update Collections from Calibre Plugin" it kinda just hangs showing that message at the bottom (Something along the lines of updating collection) with three dots.

My question is that does it take a while to update the collections as i have left it for an hour last night and with no change. I have left it "Updating" at home to see if it makes a difference.

I only have 300 books and 57 collections so i didn't think it would take very long to do.

@RaihaX: On a wild guess, your version of Python is probably too old (or not installed at all). Make sure you're using the latest snapshot.

[barsanuphe]

It's probably a python install issue, otherwise there would be other things written at the bottom of the screen, above the KUAL status message. It seems the python script is never launched.

Did you clone librariansync under windows repo? It might be an issue.
I suggest starting generate_collections.py script from the console.. For this you need to install SSH daemon and connect to kindle over Wi-Fi/USB..

Was thinking there was something with my install

Will try this as well

@RaihaX: Hmm. When do you still have the archive you used, to confirm the exact revision?

for Python? if so kindle-python-0.10.N-r10971

[NiLuJe]

@RaihaX: Yup, should work...

I'll take a look at it on my end, but in the meantime, if you can check what happens when running it manually over SSH (w/ USBNetwork), that'd be neat .

I reinstalled with the latest snapshot on your page and it is working fine now

Must have a been a user error during the first python installed!

Thanks for all the help!

[barsanuphe]

user errors are the best kind
Glad you got it working!
