Problem to connect Kobo to Calibre

diane55 · 05-12-2020, 10:56 AM

Hello,

I'm unable to connect my Kobo Glo to Calibre. This problem is very recent.
The bug seems coming from the plugin KoboTouchExtended
Calibre 4.15 (64 bits)
KoboTouchExtended : 3.2.3
Kobo firmware : 4.20.14601

The error message is :

Quote:

'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 42: invalid start byte

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 90, in run

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 42: invalid start byte

Attached is the debug journal.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards.

You might want to check in the KoboTouchExtended thread in the Plugins forum. This is a known issue which is being worked on. Check message 2027 onwards.

Edit: Check message 2034 in the KoboTouchExtended thread for a version which possibly fixes the issue. Feedback will be appreciated.

Unluckily, the new package does not resolve the issue.
