MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Calibredb Catalog "cannot generate catalog in EPUB format

rracoon01 · 07-12-2018, 11:19 AM

I am posting this again hoping to get some attention to my ongoing problem.

I now have a test batch file that strips down the calibredb catalog command to the bare essentials, ie: where to direct the output. I still get the same error message that it "Cannot generate a Catalog in the EPUB format".

No I have not tried to disable DEDRM because I don't know why it even comes into play as there is no need to DEDRM a file that is being created. I just need to understand why this message is being generated because it is particularly unhelpful in figuring out what to try next. Can someone much more familiar with the underlying code please look at this and give me a concrete suggestion what the issue really is and how to correct it.

Please and thanks.
