Metadata not fetched from amazon, but "amazon_fr:" id works

fxp33 · 06-11-2019, 06:41 PM

hi,

When I add books from isbn, most of the metadata are not found on amazon.com. I have then set the source to be from the "France" site, and still no luck.
What is weird, is that if I edit the empty metadata and I replace the "isbn:" in the ids box by "amazon_fr:", downloading the metadata works fine, and the cover is almost immediately found... but it means I have to do that one by one.

Is there a way to put make this work directly from the isbn list, instead of changing one by one the isbn into amazon_fr?

Here are some examples you could try (although they are found now that i have done the amazon_fr magic)

9782100547296
9782710124771

Thanks for your help.
Cheers

François
