With ver. 3.1.5 all is OK, but series not show on Kobo.
Only seriesmeta-windows-64bit.exe works fine.

That looks to be an error in a debugging statement to write the settings for the driver to the log. Can you post a copy of the configuration file? This the file "device_drivers_KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED.py.json" and is in the calibre configuration directory. I think the most likely issue is that there is a character in the option "Copy generated KePub files to directory" that isn't being handed properly. Or the "Title to test when debugging" field. Clearing these will probably fix it, but, seeing the config file will let us check.


And the fact that seriesmeta-windows-64bit.exe works has absolutely nothing to do with anything here. There is no shared code and they act on different data sources. If they both failed at the some time, it would be a coincidence. Or mean that you would probably be doing a factory reset of your Kobo device in the near future.
