Hi all
I am starting to create a new Calibre library for magazines that I have like Hacker Monthly.
My intention with these was to set the title to "Hacker Monthly" for each one, and identify the individual issues using the series index. I wanted to write a metadata download plugin to pull the table of contents off the website and use it to set the comments field (and maybe also tags, which I would generate from the contents with something like
https://github.com/apresta/tagger).
The problem I have is it looks like metadata downloader plugins get passed title and author to identify() but not series information. Is my understanding here correct? And what would be the best workaround then? I can't use title and author necessarily to query Calibre itself to get the current metadata if these are the same for all issues. Would it be best then to keep issue numbers in the titles?
Thanks!
