Series not showing on Kobo device.
Hi, I've got a Kobo Libra, and am using Calibre to set my books' metadata. I have several books with which I've set the series name and index, but it isn't showing on the Kobo. Typically, the series info shows in the Books view between the title and author, as:
Code:
Title Series - Index Author A few miscellaneous notes:
Is anyone else having these issues and/or know a solution? Thanks in advance. |

Just confirming: You've connected the device a second time after the initial import? Unless you use NickelSeries, second connect needed to import the series info.
Make sure automatic metadata sync is also enabled. |

To reiterate, the series name and index are present in the kebup file on device, so it seems to be sending to the device as it should, unless the Kobo needs to be pushed to recache it correctly? And, which setting page is "automatic metadata sync" in? |

You just need to connect it after Kobo does the 'import...' process for the book. Don't need to send it a second time.
Preferences > Sending books to device > Metadata management dropdown. |

Also make sure you have Update metadata checked on the third configuration page for the driver and that in the main calibre preferences page under Sending books to device, Metadata management is set to automatic management. |

In any case, that's got the series info added to the device correctly. Thanks to you you both for the help! |
