OK, the details are here. Start by saving your recipe as a text file named explosm.recipe in any folder - say c:\recipes\explosm

Then make a batch file and save it there called run_recipe.bat and put this in it:
Code:
c:
cd \recipes\explosm
ebook-convert explosm.recipe explosm_1 --test -vv > explosm.txt
save and run the batch file, and it will download the recipe as html files into the folder explosm_1 in that directory.

Then you can look at the error messages (if any) in the explosm.txt file and the images in the html files. Fundamentally, you want to just clean up your recipe.

All the stuff above is just to make writing recipes easier. Once you have it debugged, you just switch it into Calibre.

BTW, I wrote an explosm recipe, but IIRC, I never posted it. Someone wanted it, but never responded to a couple questions I posted (hope it wasn't you). It didn't do any rotation, but it did clean up most of what you need cleaned. If you want it, I'll dig it up later tonight or tomorrow and post it.
