Metadata not downloading

Veight · 03-05-2013, 07:15 PM

Pretty much the topic. I ran Calibre in debug mode and the log didn't show much either. No idea why, it just says that the books failed to download covers and metadata.

Code:

Someone Knowledgeable will be along shortly.
You might post the title/authors of those 5 books.

Thanks! And here is the actual detailed log when it attempts to download the metadata/covers.

Code:

calibre, version 0.9.20
ERROR: Download failed: Failed to download metadata or covers for any of the 5 book(s).

2. The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins (1938) (Failed metadata) (Failed cover)
Dr Seuss Bibliography (Failed metadata) (Failed cover)
4. Horton Hatches the Egg (1940) (Failed metadata) (Failed cover)
5. McElligot's Pool (1947) (Failed metadata) (Failed cover)
3. The King's Stilts (1939) (Failed metadata) (Failed cover)

Add: All of the files are .CBZ's

You'll need to edit the titles and remove the numbers and dates. Example:

Code:

2. The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins (1938)

to

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins

You can re-edit the titles after downloading the metadata.

Edit: You probably won't get metadata for Dr Seuss Bibliography as that title is a bit generic.

The Years (dates) in paren are what is wrong.

Years are not part of the title of any books by those authors
