Tolino: Problems (and some solutions) with list of books on device
I noticed some problems with the new tolinos and the kobo driver:
1. Only sideloaded books show up on "books in main memory of device" 2. Audiobooks don't show up on "books in main memory of device" 3. One of the listed books shows wrong date, wrong size and wrong path I was able to partly solve these issues: 1. Books downloaded from the tolino cloud do have the MimeType 'application/epub+zip' instead of 'application/x-kobo-epub+zip'. So I added this MimeType. 2. Audiobooks from the tolino cloud do have the MimeType 'audio/mpeg'. So I added this MimeType. So the new situation is, that the book list of the device is complete. And the audiobook shows up as well BUT with the wrong date, size and path. And it shows the title and author of a different (epub) ebook! In debug mode it shows UUID in the table. I guess this is a hint of which metadata matches between the books on the device and in the library. Any ideas on how I could tackle down this wrong-match-problem with the audiobook? I've attached the patch I came up with so far as well as a screenshot which shows the list of books. |

calibre doesnt support audiobooks and definitely not on devices. I dont know how th ekobo driver works but for general drivers, the title and author are populated by reading metadata from the book file. calibre cannot read metadata from audio files, so I have no idea how you are getting the title and author, probably from the driver is reading it from the kobo database.

Yes, I would be happy if the audiobook was simply not listed.
So I removed the 'audio/mpeg' stuff and just left the attached change. I have also deleted the driveinfo.calibre and metadata.calibre files from the device (I should probably have done this earlier). Now the book list is correct - but the audiobook still appears (with a path that is not quite correct). If nobody objects, I would submit the modification soon. |
