The publisher metadata display bug is still there. The publisher name metadata is not displayed with sideloaded epubs. Kepubs are okay. Addition to this bug: ISBN metadata (same problem)
B]Product[/B]: Kobo Aura HD, GLo, Mini and Touch
Firmware: 2.8.1.
Plugins: n.a.
File types: epub (not tested for pdf or other formats with the exception of kepub)
Sideloaded or from Kobobooks: epub
On external SD: no
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to Library > Books
- Select View Details
- Press either Synopsis or Similar Books and select Details. This shows the book following book details:
Publisher
ISBN (only displayed with kepubs, why?)
Language
File Size
File Format
Current result: publisher name and ISBN not displayed with regular epubs. Note: the proper tags hold the information.
Workaround:
(provided by GeoffR): Use the KoboUtilities Calibre plugin to send the publisher/date/ISBN for sideloaded books. The device will display this information correctly if it is in the database, it just doesn't load it into the database from the book file by itself.
Code:
<dc:publisher>Random House</dc:publisher>
<dc:identifier opf:scheme="ISBN">978-0-553-80780-6</dc:identifier>
When using Adobe Digital Edtions (2.0) or DL Reader (2.3.8) the publisher and ISBN metadata are correctly shown.
