Is this a plugin issue, or should I file a Calibre ticket? |
I know that downloading proper metadata can be tricky and I'm always testing new combinations, so I've tried to reproduce this issue by using a dummy file with that same asin. FWIW, the results:
- by using default Amazon PI (the built-in one), I had the same happen which you described: got a blank description when GR is also enabled. Other GR meta fields (grrrating, grvotes, GR identifier etc.) were downloaded as expected.
- using
Amazon Multiple Countries (settings: US - Amazon servers): with both GR and AMZ-MC enabled, I got the Amazon description returned -- AN INVASION. A CONSPIRACY. ONE SHOT AT REDEMPTION.
(Gee!! 
sounds fun enough for me), but then I got
no meta from GR returned (not one GR field's meta was downloaded)
(a third result I just managed to get: by setting "Choose server automatically" in AMZ-MC, I had the same output as in the first case (a blank description), so GR meta fields
were downloaded)
