series name not included

[RobbieRobski]

When I transfer books to my device Kobo Clara HD, it seems like sometimes the series is not included or differs from what I've got in Calibre. The only example I have at the moment is three books from a series "The Gentlemen Bastard Sequence"

I've downloaded meta data for each title, the series is there as noted in this search

But after transfering to the device, only book 1 shows the series.

Any idea what's going on and how I can fix this?

Did you connect the second time (a Kobo thing)?

In order to populate series, you have to connect your Kobo back to your calibre library after your eBooks have been imported.

The first time you connect calibre, you add the books to your Kobo. Then you eject and the books are imported to the database. The next time you connect to your calibre library, calibre can find the books in your library and add the additional metadata to the database.

It;s best suggested that you install NickelMenu so you can do the second connection to USB without having to unplug/plug the USB cable.

Thanks. I was wondering how the series was suddenly showing up all of a sudden a bit earlier before I saw your responses.

@JSWolf I'll look into NickelMenu. Thanks
