Hi folks,
I first tried to mail contact (last sunday) Daniel Bonnery, in order not to bother you with it, but hmmm... no answer (for the moment).
So, today I decided to ask here.
The issue -- as said in the title -- is that Calibre is fetching the news on daily french journal "Mediapart", no problem, BUT ... when it comes to look inside the epub, it results in only one blank page (plus the cover image) with just the big titles ("La Une" and "Brèves") plus
the links ("Section suivante" and "Menu principal") and ... that's all I got.
No article, nor at least their titles, almost nothing.
I'm using OS debian (buster / stable)
And 'Calibre' (from calibre site, not debian package, as recommanded) 4.23 version.
No problem with 'Calibre' itself (which is an awesome work !
), only with the recipe.
I've tried with another recipe ("20minutes") and this one works as expected.
I've also try some python snippets that I've seen Kovid added recently in some problematic recipes, they broke nothing ... nor fixed the issue(s). :/
As i've said in my « Introducing myself », I'm not good at all at Python, I just can try a few things, as I'm coding shell scripts since 20 years, that's all.
As you'll evidently see, the issue seems coming from a 'Failed to find print version for:
https://...' error for each article URI.
Here is the result of my tests in CLI (with 'ebook-convert') [I omit the green lines as they aren't so relevant (IMHO) in regard of the place they take] :
[I must precise that plugins which seems failing to initialize (in the 4 first lines) are well in the good (?) place : '/home/xxxxx/.config/calibre/plugins/']
