Thank you, that works. These cli-tools are really complete, thanks for putting much effort in them, most software-devs tend to give no attention to cli at all.

Is there any way to see if a default cover was set by Calibre? (the white cover with colored books on it?)... Now my script is dumb and tries to fetch a cover for all books. It also failes lots of times fetching a cover, also when it succeeds to find metadata, a cover is most of the times not found.
All my searches are with ISBN if isbn is found in metadata, else it searches with author and title specified.

Also, sometimes it failes fetching a coverwith this log:

Code:

<calibre.utils.logging.ThreadSafeLog object at 0x985762c>
No results found

and sometimes a plain and simple:

Code:

No cover found

What's the difference between those two?
My syntax is this:

Code:

fetch-ebook-metadata -a "$author" -t "$title" -c "$book/new_cover.jpg"
