Checking Library for DRM'ed files.

JudahsShadow · 11-15-2023, 02:54 PM

Hi, I was wondering if there was a plugin or other easy way to check my library for files that have DRM in them so I can further investigate liberating them. I can go in and check each entry manually, but I'd rather not do that, if I don't have to. Ideally, this would mark each book found with at least one format containing DRM so I can examine further. Thanks in advance,

Yep! Quality check Plugin

Note that the QC plugin only does that for EPUBs. If you have other DRMed books (Amazon stuff, say), it won't work. What I do is use a side effect of the Count Pages plugin for it; if that's unable to generate a page count for a book, it either has DRM or is weirdly corrupt in some other way.

Yes, I just tried quality check and saw it only checked ePubs. I will give the count pages plugin a try.

Does it do the page count for each format in an entry? (I.e. If I have an ePub and an azw3 does page count check both, or just one?)

Edit: Asked clarifying question

it does the first available in Preferences > Behaviour > Preferred Input format order, unless you set the plugin options to use preferred output format. You may want to temporarily another format above EPUB to check them specifically.

One exception is if page-count is set to ADE it'll always use EPUB.

Ok. I can change the preferred order to each format and check that way. It beats going through each entry individually and checking anyway.
