Librarything error in 0.7.3

gandor62 · 06-18-2010, 05:26 PM

Hi all

Not sure why im getting this error.

I just upgraded to Calibre 0.7.3 and grabbed a book already in my Library and tried the Edit meta data function, Fetch Meta data, and got the following error

WARNING: There were errors: There were errors downloading social metadata

LibraryThing

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\metadata\fetch.py", line 222, in fetch
Exception: AttValue: " or ' expected, line 1, column 12

I assume it has to do with the Series update maybe, any clues?

Regards
Tony

Can you post the isbn of the book you were trying to download the metadata for? You can PM it to me, if you dont want to share it publicly

Hi

9780586203798 ISBN

I tried without the isbn as well

Tried a few different books and I get the same error each time.

Is there somewhere where I have to put in my username and password for librarything

No it doesn't need your credentials. I'll look into it.

It's apparently a problem with the librarything server. For the moment just ignore the error (all it means is that your series data wont be downloaded). In the next release I'll have calibre not generate the warning whent he LT server is down.

I've updated it to ignore those errors. You should no longer see that error message
