Series stopped working?
Hey guys, I'd set Calibre to send series information to my Kobo Aura and it worked fine. Now it no longer works. I haven't changed any of my Calibre settings, though I wonder if maybe some update changed something?
Check out the image below (I apologize for the poor quality. I snuck it during a slow time at work). The first two books (added months ago) show the series between the title and the author. Recently, I purchased more books in the series and they do not show the information. ![]() The same has occurred with other series as well, so it's not just these books. |

Once I check and fix that, if I choose the 'resend metadata' option in Calibre, should that work? Or would I need to remove and add the books back? I've also recently reapplied the patch to add Ligatures following Geoff and your advice in the Kepub vs. ePub thread. I didn't make any other changes to the patch and everything else on the Kobo works as expected after patching (search defaults to Library, header and footer can be turned off), so I don't *think* it's the problem, but am mentioning it, just in case. |

I can't see how the Ligatures patch would cause this problem. Have you recently changed from using the standard KOBOTOUCH driver to using KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED? If so, are you sure you remembered to configure the new driver with the same options as the old one had? |

After you transfer the book(s) to your kobo you have to dismount and unplug your device and let nickel (Kobo's OS) index the book(s) then plug it back in to your computer with calibre open and then it will set that metadata.

I didn't think so either. I just didn't want to hit post #27 and then say "oh, by the way guys..." Quote:
I don't follow too many series, so I'm not even sure exactly when this problem started. I had just purchased a few series books recently and really only noticed it when I searched the author to list the books. |

Use the Kobo Utilities plugin to check if the database is corrupt or not. If it's not, the adice given is what should work.

The seach results can be cached, if you do a search before updating the metadata and then do the exact same search after updating, the search results can continue to show the old metadata for a while. Turning the device off and on again will clear the cache.
This caching should only affect books that were very recently updated though, if books that were updated days ago are still showing old metadata then it is probably something wrong at Calibre's end. |

Thanks guys! Looks good!
![]() In the Kobo Extended driver, 'Update metadata on device' and 'Set Series' had become unchecked. Maybe when I let Calibre update the driver? |
