I have a question about metadata and covers
I am confused here I try to get metadata data for a book so I could get a cover to download & it keep saying to use the authors name & title of the book I did that as the person was named & it did not work & then it said to use the last name & the book title & that did not work either does anybody know why this is happening & how to fix it

Depending on the metadata sources, a lot of them are blocking requests very enthusiastically. If you look at the log file from from the Edit Metadata dialog, what does it show?
I've attached a sample log from a failure trying to get data from Amazon which ends in a HTTP 503 error which basically says Amazon doesn't want to talk to me. The other option that comes up often says "could not defeat CloudFlare protection". If I wait a couple of minutes and repeat the download metadata request, it might work. If I go away for 10-15 minutes, I get 4-5 successful requests before it errors again. Spoiler:
