Is the book in calibre as well as sideloaded on the device? If so:
- Does it show as "On Device" when you connect the Kobo to calibre?
- Did you use the calibre 2-step method to set the series or something else like Nickle Series?
Kobo Utilities has a "Manage Series Information in device library" action. Does this fix the SeriesID?
If I am understanding the code correctly, the SeriesID on sideloaded books is updated only if the series changes. It also tries to use the existing UUID-style seriesID if some non-sideloaded book on the device has one like that. The driver goes to some lengths to ensure this is true. My changes undid some of those efforts but not all.
I'm tempted to always set the SeriesID to the series name, but as before I don't know what that might break. I'm fairly sure that for a purchased set of books in a series, if some are in calibre and some aren't then the seriesID will be changed in only some of them. This is also probably true with the current changes.
