Metadata download - no covers

blaubach · 07-07-2013, 05:04 PM

I'm using calibre since years, I set up Amazon, Goodreads, Edelweiss and ISBNDB as source for metadata.
When downloading metadata I would see the covers from all these sources.

Suddenly no covers can be found at all. Even for books I already downloaded covers from the above mentioned sources. I can't find the reason for this change.

He is the log data for a search:

The amazzon.com website recently was redesigned, the plugin has ot be updated for that, which will most likely be in the next release. Presumably you were previously getting covers from amazon, which aren't working anymore.

Actually, I got my covers mainly from Edelweiss or Goodreads. And both of these sites can't find the books anymore they did before.
Now that I checked again, I see that only the Amazon search still works. Non of the others.

Example:

This book can be easily found on Edelweiss hier:http://edelweiss.abovethetreeline.co...sku=0399257764

I just tried Proxy by Alex London and got covers from amazon, big book search and google images. None from edelweiss, presumably that website has changed, so the plugin will need updating.

I cannot comment on gooodreads, as it's a thrird party plugin, you should post in the goodreads plugin thread.

I looked at edelweiss and their advanced search appears to be broken, go to http://edelweiss.abovethetreeline.co...cedSearch.aspx and type Proxy Alex London in the title and authors fields and click advanced search, you get no matches.

Until they fix it, the plugin cannot return any matches.
