I coded the plugin in Python, it worked brilliantly. And I wanted the ease of using the Metadata compare feature for the returned data from the plugin instead of having to reinvent the wheel.

If I hard-code the ebook paths and then reference the paths from within the plugin, everything works great. But as you can understand, hardcoding a list of paths isn't going to work lol.

Saying it's not supported is like a red rag to a bull. I'll make it work lol
The Metadata plugin can retrieve data from API's and websites. Thats its intended use.. So If the SQLite3 way doesn't work, I'll simply install Calibre Web and use the API to retrieve the download links (filepaths) that way as a web API call. Then use the links as a second call to my server running on localhost, which will retrieve the metadata and pass it back to Calibre. Where there is a will, there is a Way.
