Not sure where this topic belongs, so I just post it here. I edited all metadata in Calibre on my Windows PC. Name is showing correct. I use Calibre Companion so that FBreader can connect to the content server. I can browse the network library. In FBreader I see the series by name. In the series I can see all books by name.

But once downloaded to my android, and browsing my local library on my device, I notice that author is unknown, titel has become a number, serie is none.

Are the meta tags in Calibre only for internal use? Are they only added in the database, without adding them to the documents meta tags?

How can I make sure that FBreader, ComicRack or any other reader gets the correct information after I updated the meta tags in Calibre?
