Libra Colour Libra Colour Freezes After Syncing with Calibre

[getthething]

Hi,

Ever since the most recent update, my Libra Colour freezes after syncing with Calibre. I'm forced to restart the kobo to bring it back to life. Then it's fine again until the next time I sync.

The Kobo is in side load mode, I run the epub check via the Quality Check plugin on every book before it's synced. I convert everything to KEPUB via the extended touch plugin.

What else can I look for? Thanks!

The Quality Check plugin does not do what epubcheck does. I would suggest adding the epubcheck plugin to the calibre ebook-editor or Sigil and use that to verify books. The other possibility is that the KoboTouchExtended driver is having some issues with creating kepubs. I would suggest either using the old 3.7.0 version available from the jogouen's GitHub repository's releases page. Personally, my workaround since I only use kepub for ebooks that have multiple large images I want to be able to zoom is to use kepubify to do the ePub to kepub conversion.

If you have the KoboUtilities plugin installed, use it to check the device database. There have been multiple complaints about the 4.41.23145 firmware and database corruption.

Do you let it plugged after syncing?
I have this too. If, after syncing with calibre and ejecting, I let the LC plugged and it goes to sleep then I will have to force restart it. If I unplug it before it goes to sleep then it's fine.

Oh sometimes I do. Interesting. I'll test this out.

In case anyone stumbles upon this, this seems to have been the issue for me. If I sync, eject, and unplug right away it doesn't seem to freeze. At least not in the handful of times I've tested it.
