MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Calibre metadata.db contains errors... Calibre2opds cannot open file.

I guess I'm not explaining myself very clearly, sorry: yes, Calibre works.* But Calibre2opds doesn't, it can't open the metadata.db file, I've been dealing with the Calibre2opds developer (thank you, by the way!) for over a week, and since he can't open my metadata file with his SQ tools, he can't diagnose the problem further.

And the only thing I've changed in the 8+ months of running Calibre2opds weekly is that I upgraded Calibre. So I've got a system that worked great and now doesn't, and I'm looking at the single point of change that I'm aware of as the possible introduction of the error.

(* Although for about the same amount of time I've had "error sending metadata to device" errors when using Calibre with my two Sony readers. I thought that was an unrelated problem, but it may not be.)

---

I did run a check library yesterday and it said everything was kosher except it didn't like the Calibre2opds catalog folders in the Calibre library directory. But they've always been there before with no problem.

I'll run the "Library -> Library Maintenance -> Start backing up metadata ..." now, thank you, since we're about to go get groceries and you say it takes awhile.

I'll run "sqlite3 metadata.db .dump > dump.sql" when we get back, thank you.
