Calibre Catalog Plugin No Longer Works

[country0129]

I'd successfully generated a catalog once before. Since, I have added several volumns, and I wanted to generate a new one. I keep getting an error message, saying the process had ended. I restarted in Debug mode, and following is the text of the file generated:

Can someone tell me what to do to fix it?

Thanks

Moved thread to the Catalog sub-forum. This feature was created pre-plugin and is part of calibre.

Until someone with more knowledge comes around you might want to start by reading the sticky post on the subject at the top of this forum titled Creating Catalogs: Start here.

Nothing pertinent in the catalog files: thread closed. Created a ticket.

Appreciate it.

I've responded to your ticket.

Sir,

I've tried on multiple occasions, different times of day, and Launchpad times out before the file can be uploaded. metadata.db of my library is 50,968 KB. Is there anything else I can do with this but launchpad?

Try to create a smaller subset of your library that exhibits the problem.
