Sadly, I cannot report the same success. My first connect on any day still triggers a re-extract of metadata by the T1.

The good news is that chaley's workaround suggestion of having a second plugboard in place (for EPUB/PRST1 which duplicates the DEVICE_DB/PRST1 plugboard) when epubs are sent to the T1 still works. i.e. for epubs the re-extracted metadata is the same value as was 'thrown away' from the DEVICE_DB/PRST1 metadata.

This just leaves PDFs with the 'wrong' metadata after the day's first connect as TXT files never seem to lose their plugboard metadata.

The second connect of the day still corrects the PDFs.

P.S I haven't updated the T1 firmware yet, so I don't know whether this will make a difference.
