de DRM and Python

Michaeljohn · 10-03-2020, 08:09 AM

I am a computer ignoramus. My problem: I upgrade Calibre to 5.1.0 and lost the deDRM plugin as a result. When I try to reinstall the deDRM I get the following:

calibre, version 5.1.0

Help?

You need to downgrade to Calibre 4.23 to get DeDRM to work.
It is not compatible with version 5 and as you have ran Calibre 5, you must use 4.23.

You need to keep an eye on the DeDRM website to see when a version is released that is compatible with Calibre 5.

P.S. You may need to wait a while for it to be written as the rate of development doesn't seem high.
