Debug shows Calibre calling some plugins that are not installed

texasnightowl · 02-23-2025, 01:18 PM

I'll include the logfile, but for example it fails to initialize plugin Fantastic Fiction...which is not installed, so of course it fails. But why is it calling it?

Also, it appears to be trying to call some old old old dedrm remnants (ignoble and inept) and an old edreader pdb 2 pml plugin.

Yes...I've been through many versions of Calibre and of course as things changed I upgraded along the way...

Anyway, is there anyway to clean this stuff up or out?

Spoiler:

"plugins" called are: Fantastic Fiction, Fantastic Fiction Adults, Ignoble Epub DeDRM, Inept Epub DeDRM, Inept PDF DeDRM, "K4PC, K4Mac, Kindle Mobi and Topaz DeDRM", MobiDeDRM, eReader PDB 2 PML.

These are either not installed OR maybe were installed at one point but long since deprecated by newer dedrm but I can't find how to clean these up/out?

The very top of your log gives a hint about the nature of the problem

Code:

Failed to initialize plugin: 'C:\\Users\\*myusername*\\AppData\\Roaming\\calibr e\\plugins\\Fantastic Fiction.zip'

There are some zip files lying around in the plugins directory of the plugins causing the troulbe. Go to that folder and delete the suspect plugins.

texasnightowl · 02-23-2025, 02:03 PM

oh. well, that's easy. I just assumed that plugins would only be called if they were installed or something inside calibre still thought they were installed. I didn't realize just files existing in the folder structure would do it. thanks...off to delete.
