I think there is a pretty good reason why some of you will be having problems - if you don't have an E: mapped on your machine (I had left some debugging code in there which is writing out the page). I will remove that in the next version I will put out later today along with some other tweaks. I did warn that build was for test purposes
Just FYI for anyone who is having an issue it will help to be more specific.
- Exactly what title/author does your book have.
- What identifier(s) does your book already have in calibre.
The log file that matters is what you see from the "View log" button on the Downloading metadata screen. From that it can be determined which version of the goodreads book page (if any) the plugin was dealing with at that particular attempt and any errors that may have happened.
Also remember not every book exists in Goodreads, and the Goodreads search engine has always been of pretty low quality for title/author searches. Putting aside the different version of the html pages issue, if there is no match from this Goodreads metadata plugin then I use the Goodreads Sync plugin "Link to Goodreads..." feature (ctrl+L) to do a more comprehensive search for the book. If it finds no matches then the book probably does not exist on Goodreads at all. If you have found it yourself on Goodreads in a web browser you can drag/drop the web browser URL onto the Link search dialog and click ok (that will save the Goodreads id into that books metadata in calibre). Then you can retry this Goodreads metadata plugin to download the details as it can directly jump to the book page for that id.
Anyways keep an eye out for the next build...
