Problems Retrieving Metadata

crissman · 05-21-2013, 01:55 PM

I seem to be having a problem today with retrieving metadata for any books in my library. A couple of days ago I upgraded calibre to the new 0.9.31 64 bit.

I have tried to update several new additions to my library as well as previous books that had already successfully updated the metadata for. Both are giving me an error. "Failed to find any books that match your search" Even on the books that were successfully retrieved previously (just to rule out a problem with the author/title not being found). See attachment "image 1"

What I did so far was to uninstall calibre and reinstall the 0.9.30 64 bit version which had worked perfectly fine for me. However I am still getting the identical errors, no matter the version or book.. I tried several just to be sure.

Example of the error log on a book that had already successfully retrieved the metadata in the past.
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank You.

Something on your machine, most likely your antivirus is blocking calibre. And I'll note that according to that log you're running calibre 0.9.30 not 0.9.31

I will check out the internet security to verify, I am not confident that, that is the issue since it hasn't changed in months.

I do realize I am running the 0.9.30, I downgraded to see if that was the problem but it is still causing the same errors. I also just uninstalled and installed the 32 bit version of 0.9.31 and get the same results..

I will disable my internet security and try again and see if that was the issue.

Thanks for the quick reply

See the line

URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions>

in the log. That means something is preventing calibre from opening a connection. And antivirus programs are updated silently in the background every day. That your antivirus program did not cause problems x days ago doesn't mean it cant be causing problems now.

I also see URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed> in the second set of diagnostics

Which reads like it could be a DNS problem.

I'm having exactly the same problem, and oddly, mine started in the middle of a session. Everything was fine, then suddenly not. I've tried upgrading Calibre, moving from the portable to the desktop versions, flushing dns then rebooting and running it with firewall and antivirus disabled. I've even disabled all metadata sources then tested them one at a time. Nada. The error for all sources is:

Request extra headers: [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1')]

Help?

I think you're getting to Google, but it's actively refusing to service the request

I think I've read somewhere here that repeated queries from the same IP address to some of these sites triggers a "we're being attacked" alert. And that it happens if you do bulk downloads for 'too many books' - 100 rings a bell.

As it turned out it was the internet security program.. I completely uninstalled it and reverted back to ESET.

Everything is working like charm again.

Thank You again for all your help

Thanks, BetterRed, but I wasn't bulk downloading, and since I was going through my rather large library and filling in missing metadata I doubt I was querying fast enough for it to be interpreted as an attack. Also, I got the same error on every site I tried when going through them one by one.

I've tried again today, using books I know I was able to get the metadata for previously, and still no luck. I'm completely flummoxed.

finovotny Junior Member Posts: 2 Karma: 10 Join Date: May 2013 Device: ipod	I'm having exactly the same problem, and oddly, mine started in the middle of a session. Everything was fine, then suddenly not. I've tried upgrading Calibre, moving from the portable to the desktop versions, flushing dns then rebooting and running it with firewall and antivirus disabled. I've even disabled all metadata sources then tested them one at a time. Nada. The error for all sources is: Request extra headers: [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.2; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1')] Found 0 results Downloading from Google took 1.79699993134 Failed to make identify query: u'http://books.google.com/books/feeds/volumes?q=isbn%3A9780440209805&max-results=20&min-viewability=none&start-index=1' <snip> URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it> Help?

kovidgoyal creator of calibre Posts: 43,842 Karma: 22666666 Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Mumbai, India Device: Various	Something on your machine, most likely your antivirus is blocking calibre. And I'll note that according to that log you're running calibre 0.9.30 not 0.9.31

crissman Connoisseur Posts: 77 Karma: 3090 Join Date: Apr 2013 Location: California Device: Kobo Aura One, Kobo Aura H20,Kindle PW1	I will check out the internet security to verify, I am not confident that, that is the issue since it hasn't changed in months. I do realize I am running the 0.9.30, I downgraded to see if that was the problem but it is still causing the same errors. I also just uninstalled and installed the 32 bit version of 0.9.31 and get the same results.. I will disable my internet security and try again and see if that was the issue. Thanks for the quick reply

kovidgoyal creator of calibre Posts: 43,842 Karma: 22666666 Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Mumbai, India Device: Various	See the line URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions> in the log. That means something is preventing calibre from opening a connection. And antivirus programs are updated silently in the background every day. That your antivirus program did not cause problems x days ago doesn't mean it cant be causing problems now.
