You can try downloading and installing the plugin manually by referring to How do I install a plugin manually? in this post.

Thanks, manually worked. Maybe an issue in Calibre so that it does not update the cache...

Just download new update and it has disabled everything now. Removed plugin and tried to re-install but getting the following error. Thanks for any help.

calibre, version 1.18.0
ERROR: Install Plugin Failed: A problem occurred while installing this plugin. This plugin will now be uninstalled. Please post the error message in details below into the forum thread for this plugin and restart Calibre.

That error message is telling you that the plugin requires version 1.29 of calibre (or later), and that you are running version 1.18.

Is it possible to transfer (sync?) modified (annotated) PDFs back to Calibre? Fetch annotation is disabled, guess it doesn't work with PDFs..

Sorry if this was already discussed, couldn't find it in the prev 10 pages.

[GRiker]

If you are using GoodReader for PDFs, you can use the Annotations plugin to transfer annotations to a custom column.

In GoodReader, you have the option of saving annotations directly to the PDF. If you select that option, you could then add the book from GoodReader back to your calibre library with the annotations embedded in the PDF.

I keep getting this error when trying to install this plug in to Calibre for Marvin - can someone help? Thanks!

I'm happy that you resolved it - for the benefit of others, what did you do to fix the problem?

I had two devices attached to my laptop - once I removed one of the devices, the plugin loaded with no problem...

I have seen this before, the plugin only works with only ONE device connected yes. I should have reported that.

Actually I think it's calibre itself that only supports a single attached device at a time.

Hi,

I tried to sync my library yesterday but it doesn't work.

Calibre is loaded, my iPad / Marvin is recognized in Calibre but when i try to sync my library i get the following result :

Any idea ?

Thanks

Perhaps you could explain the issue. How is what happens different from your expectations?

Of course, there is no sync.

When you said earlier that your iPad/Marvin was recognized in calibre, there's no evidence of that in the screen shot you posted.

The most likely cause is that you haven't started the calibre connector in Marvin, or you have more than one device connected.

If you're still having a problem, please visit the plugin's GitHub issue tracker. Review the instructions in issue #1, 'Creating a new issue'. Follow the steps to create a debug log, and add that to a new issue.
