- Edit an existing book's metadata in Calibre
- Connect Calibre Companion to Calibre as a Wireless Device, opting to Sync
- Manually trigging "Update cached metadata on this device" from Calibre
However, after doing this Moon+ Reader didn't recognise that the metadata has changed. Thinking it could be an issue with Moon+ Reader, I copied the EPUB back off the device and checked the OEBPS\package.opf file. This still had the old metadata in it despite having updated it in Calibre and forcing a metadata refresh on the device.
In Calibre Companion itself the metadata is correct, but it looks like the file itself that Calibre Companion is managing on my device wasn't updated.
To work around this, I need to tell Calibre to remove the book from the device and then re-send it.
Is there a better way that I can push updated metadata from Calibre?
I'm currently using Version 5.3.5.2 (381) with Calibre 3.7.
Many thanks |
The metadata refresh only changes the metadata stored in calibre companion not the ebooks to do what you want you will need to first use polish to update the metadata in the books in calibre then connect calibre companion using wireless device sync new books option so that the books are sent again to calibre companion.
