The metadata plugboard is a separate are in the calibre preferences. They are used to fiddle with the metadata in the books as they are sent to the devices. The most common is to add the series info to the title. This isn't needed for Kobo devices. But, the plugboard I use for authors is:
Code:
program: raw_list('authors', ', ')
That has no effect on single authors, but for multiple authors you get: "FN1 LN1, FN2 LN2, FN3 LN3". This is the format that the Kobo devices expect and will interpret generally correctly. |
I didn't notice any problem with the list of authors on the device before, I will pay more attention to the books with multiple authors in the future.
What is the difference between your plugboard and the default?

- Open the KoboTouch driver configuration and go third tab.
- In the "Title to test when debugging" field, put the title of the select book, or at least enough of it to be fairly unique.
- Save the change.
- Restart calibre in debug mode by right-clicking on the preferences button and selecting the option there.
- When calibre restarts, connect the device and wait for the jobs to finish running.
- Close calibre and it will display the debug log.
- Post the log or PM it to me if you prefer.
Hopefully I can see what is wrong for that book and we can sort it out. |
Done and sent.
