Depending on your definition of "manually", I'd really avoid doing it from _any_ computer ^_^
A Calibre .db should only be accessed through the Calibre GUI or through calibredb...

Can you show us the script? What exactly does it do with the metadata? There's probably a way to adapt it to use calibredb.

Can't help you with the Chromebook part of it, sorry. As far as consumer OSes go, I've only ever used Windows and Linux. I'm only now experimenting with an old Android tablet I've been given, so ChromeOS is waaay out of my comfort zone...
