Calibre to Kindel previewer .NCX issues

Matt.Geiger · 03-18-2011, 03:34 PM

We create a epub file which contains our .ncx file.
Normally we would just drag our .epub file on kindel previewer and let it convert and create the kindel file.
Doing this the .ncx file works fine in the Previewer.
What we did find that "our css "block" style was not keeping a hanging indent.
We found that letting Calibre convert our epub to .mobi file and then opening the Calibre .mobi file in Kindel previewer retained our hanging indents.
But it would bash our .ncx file telling us their is no .ncx file.
We know their is one cause it works from the epub we drop into the kindel previewer.
Any Idea what is going on? How can i fix this.

Also what program do you use to unpack and repack a .mobi file?

I would guess that Calibre is trashing your TOC because you have 'Force use of auto-generated TOC' enabled. If this option is enabled it will overwrite a good TOC based on however Calibre is configured to detect a TOC, and if Calibre's TOC detection is improperly configured then you'll get a garbage TOC in the conversion.

Matt.Geiger · 03-21-2011, 10:02 AM

It is not killing the TOC
It is messing up our .NCX file.

This is the error
"Missing NCX file

Your Book is currently Missing a NCX file, which defines the sequence and organization of your book. The NCX file allows readers to skip between chapters or sections of a Kindle book."

Our NCX works when not converted thru Calibre.
I am also unsure where the
"If this option is enabled it will overwrite a good TOC based on however Calibre is configured to detect a TOC, and if Calibre's TOC detection is improperly configured then you'll get a garbage TOC in the conversion. "
Is in the Calibre prefrences.

Thank you

By TOC I meant NCX - an NCX is one of the two types of TOCs that the Kindle uses. The NCX is used for the chapter tics, and the inline TOC is used for the user visible TOC.

Many users use Calibre to create a mobi NCX from an epub NCX, which is clearly what you're trying to do. Calibre's default settings will do this for you automatically. The fact that it's not working for you means you have something configured incorrectly. The most likely thing is that you've enabled the option I already mentioned. I got the wording slightly off before - the actual text of the option is "Force use of auto-generated Table of Contents". Make sure this is disabled in the conversion options. It's in the "Table of Contents" panel of the conversion options.

"the actual text of the option is "Force use of auto-generated Table of Contents". Make sure this is disabled in the conversion options. It's in the "Table of Contents" panel of the conversion options. "

I ran my valid epub thru the Calibre system again made sure this Option was not checked. In converting to Mobi and then opening the .mobi file into Kindel Previewer i still get the same error.
I know my .NCX was in the .epub file, and the .epub file validates for epub and even Apples validation tool. I don't know why Calibre keeps messing up the .ncx file.
We create epubs for Kindel and generic epubs. we have never used Calibre since you didn't need Calibre when using the new version of Kindel Previewe since it will translate the .epub file.
The reason we switched to this is we found out by using Calibre it holds the "Block" paragraph style in our CSS where the conversion that Kindel Previewer doesn't.

We create a toc.html file and a .ncx file for all of our jobs.
are their anyother settings for Calibre conversion to .mobi i should be looking at.
We are updated to the most current version of Calibre as well.

Thanks

I just tried converting an epub to mobi with the default conversion options and it converted just fine, tic marks show up in the Kindle Previewer.

Either you have some other non-default conversion options that may be getting in the way, or there is something wrong with your epub's ncx file. When you open your epub file in Adobe Digital Editions does it show a Table of Contents?

Matt.Geiger · 03-22-2011, 09:23 AM

Yes when we open it in Adobe Digital Editions it shows the .ncx Table of Contents.
When we Open the .epub in the Kindel Previewer with out going thru Calibrie the .ncx Navigation TOC is showing up as well.

Click on 'Jobs' in the lower right corner of the main Calibre window. Highlight the most recent problem conversion, and copy paste the job details to a window here.

Matt.Geiger · 03-22-2011, 10:08 AM

Ok Well i tried to restore to Defaults, on my Mac OSX calibre and Installed a clean on my PC and neither worked it still messes up the .ncx file in the Kindel previewer.

Below is my NCX file.
toc.ncx

look at playorder 8

Code:

<text>3. JESUS&#x2019;S SHOCK TROOPS?</text>

I don't know if the is legal usage

I'm no expert on NCX files. Your conversion log states where Calibre sees the problem though:

Code:

Indexing navPoints ...

...
_generate_indexed_navpoints: Failed to generate index

I don't know if the cause of this error is a bug or a problem with your NCX.

As a comparative example I do see minor differences vis-a-vis the one I just converted which worked (nothing jumps out at me though):

The order of items in your ncx file has to be the same as the order in the book.

the order of elements in the spine and the ncx have to match. And dont use linear="no"

Matt.Geiger · 03-22-2011, 01:39 PM

Well what happens when you need something listed in your "Spine" in your .opf but do not want that to show in your .ncx (TOC).
We have this many times where we don't want to list for example a nav point for footnotes since foot notes are linked to and back in the main body of text.

Is their away that that a feature can be added to calibre to use the .ncx and the .opf as is. from an already validated epub?

Matt.Geiger Junior Member Posts: 8 Karma: 10 Join Date: Dec 2010 Device: Kindel	Calibre to Kindel previewer .NCX issues We create a epub file which contains our .ncx file. Normally we would just drag our .epub file on kindel previewer and let it convert and create the kindel file. Doing this the .ncx file works fine in the Previewer. What we did find that "our css "block" style was not keeping a hanging indent. We found that letting Calibre convert our epub to .mobi file and then opening the Calibre .mobi file in Kindel previewer retained our hanging indents. But it would bash our .ncx file telling us their is no .ncx file. We know their is one cause it works from the epub we drop into the kindel previewer. Any Idea what is going on? How can i fix this. Also what program do you use to unpack and repack a .mobi file?

ldolse Wizard Posts: 1,337 Karma: 123455 Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Malaysia Device: PRS-650, iPhone	By TOC I meant NCX - an NCX is one of the two types of TOCs that the Kindle uses. The NCX is used for the chapter tics, and the inline TOC is used for the user visible TOC. Many users use Calibre to create a mobi NCX from an epub NCX, which is clearly what you're trying to do. Calibre's default settings will do this for you automatically. The fact that it's not working for you means you have something configured incorrectly. The most likely thing is that you've enabled the option I already mentioned. I got the wording slightly off before - the actual text of the option is "Force use of auto-generated Table of Contents". Make sure this is disabled in the conversion options. It's in the "Table of Contents" panel of the conversion options. Last edited by ldolse; 03-21-2011 at 10:24 AM.

ldolse Wizard Posts: 1,337 Karma: 123455 Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Malaysia Device: PRS-650, iPhone	I would guess that Calibre is trashing your TOC because you have 'Force use of auto-generated TOC' enabled. If this option is enabled it will overwrite a good TOC based on however Calibre is configured to detect a TOC, and if Calibre's TOC detection is improperly configured then you'll get a garbage TOC in the conversion.

Matt.Geiger Junior Member Posts: 8 Karma: 10 Join Date: Dec 2010 Device: Kindel	It is not killing the TOC It is messing up our .NCX file. This is the error "Missing NCX file Your Book is currently Missing a NCX file, which defines the sequence and organization of your book. The NCX file allows readers to skip between chapters or sections of a Kindle book." Our NCX works when not converted thru Calibre. I am also unsure where the "If this option is enabled it will overwrite a good TOC based on however Calibre is configured to detect a TOC, and if Calibre's TOC detection is improperly configured then you'll get a garbage TOC in the conversion. " Is in the Calibre prefrences. Thank you Matt

Make sure this is disabled in the conversion options. It's in the "Table of Contents" panel of the conversion options. " I ran my valid epub thru the Calibre system again made sure this Option was not checked. In converting to Mobi and then opening the .mobi file into Kindel Previewer i still get the same error. I know my .NCX was in the .epub file, and the .epub file validates for epub and even Apples validation tool. I don't know why Calibre keeps messing up the .ncx file. We create epubs for Kindel and generic epubs. we have never used Calibre since you didn't need Calibre when using the new version of Kindel Previewe since it will translate the .epub file. The reason we switched to this is we found out by using Calibre it holds the "Block" paragraph style in our CSS where the conversion that Kindel Previewer doesn't. We create a toc.html file and a .ncx file for all of our jobs. are their anyother settings for Calibre conversion to .mobi i should be looking at. We are updated to the most current version of Calibre as well. Thanks

ldolse Wizard Posts: 1,337 Karma: 123455 Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Malaysia Device: PRS-650, iPhone	I just tried converting an epub to mobi with the default conversion options and it converted just fine, tic marks show up in the Kindle Previewer. Either you have some other non-default conversion options that may be getting in the way, or there is something wrong with your epub's ncx file. When you open your epub file in Adobe Digital Editions does it show a Table of Contents?

Matt.Geiger Junior Member Posts: 8 Karma: 10 Join Date: Dec 2010 Device: Kindel	Well what happens when you need something listed in your "Spine" in your .opf but do not want that to show in your .ncx (TOC). We have this many times where we don't want to list for example a nav point for footnotes since foot notes are linked to and back in the main body of text. Is their away that that a feature can be added to calibre to use the .ncx and the .opf as is. from an already validated epub?
