[Metadata Source Plugin] caching a cover

Crisppr.cas9 · 12-27-2020, 06:12 PM

Hello mobilereaders,
I am strugglling with a Calibre plugin I created.
The identify method is working great to update my books metadata, but I cannot find how to cache the cover in the result_queue.
I have an identifiers dict{} and the cover url as a string.
It seems to be very easy, but I cannot get it working for hours.
Thks for your help.

I would suggest looking at one of the existing metadata source plugins that support covers. The Goodreads plugin does it. And I wouldn't be surprised if the others just copied it. I know that's how my KoboBooks plugin was created.

Otherwise, we probably need to see your code. Without, I'd just be posting excerpts from the above and asking if that was what you did.
