AttributeError and Lots of crashes...

[MikesBooks]

Calibre 8.4 keeps crashing when adding books, sometimes it just won't open.

Here are some of the different errors:

Spoiler:

Things I've tried:
-Full text - Disabiled and Deleted the full text search db files

-Metadata - Deleted and spent 17 hrs rebuilding the metadata.db file

-Maintenance - Check library showed no errors

-Uninstalled & Reinstalled - 8.4 and even downgraded to a version of 7 I still had

-Windows - SFC /scan now and dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth and restorehealth show no problems

-Locations - Database is on an internal D drive, and I have tried moving calibre program from C drive to D drive and back again with no change.

- Debug & No 3rd Party Plugins: still crashes in debug mode and debug w/no 3rd party plugins

There are 27,173 books in the database

I've gone through the threads trying a bunch of different things and I am stumped

On a random thought, I created a new library and loaded 8.4.1000 and so far no crashes or issues.

Going back to the other library and still all the crashes in the world.

Just to make sure it is not interference from a third party program, try Windows Safe mode.

You might have to rebuild the library, see ==>> https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...93&postcount=4

Thanks for the suggestion!

I had tried it in windows safe mode, and I doubly checked to make sure even windows security and defender were set to off.

I have a feeling I might just have to rebuild the library though ... I tried rebuilding the metadata.db and that didn't solve it either.

It's a pretty new computer, less than a year old, and the only things installed at Calibre, Office 2017, and Adobe Digital Editions, Kindle 4 PC, and Firefox.

I really hope I don't have to re-add all 27k books... but I might just have to at this point. Oof!

Those definitely look like corruption issues in your library. You say you tried rebuild library database? What happened when you did?

I did, and after over 12 hrs or so it showed it as done. So I added another book and it immediately crashed and gave me more of those errors.

I did both of the delete metadata and restore, and then I tried the starting from a blank and add books from the old folder.

With the delete metadata and restore, I still get crashes. With the add books it added only 900 of the 27k and then crashed.

I also checked both hard drives (internal C and D) for errors (chkdsk and windows error checking) and defrag and found no problems. Even downloaded a hard drive S.M.A.R.T program and it found no issues with either drive.

But it's still crashing constantly and I can't figure it out.

The first screen shot you posted is from the Restore database feature, if you add books from an existing library folder, as per the link to Kovid's recommendation in my previous post, you will see something like this:

Yeah I tried that and it got to 900 books and then just crashed out. No screen shot because it was going good and then... was gone!

Reboot in safe mode and run

calibredb restore_database -r

in a windows command prompt

After that finishes try starting calibre while still in safe mode as

calibre --ignore-plugins

and see if it is working.
