Problem with calibredb and recurse parameter
I've a problem to add files to calibre.
I have a directory with subfolders. ...data ...data/1folder ...data/2folder ... I want to add some media formats which are stored in 1folder or 2folder etc. My command (e.g.) - i have my terminal set to the data folder: calibredb add --add --recurse --duplicates *.mp4 The command is taken by calibredb but it shows as a result: /data/*.mp4 not found I know sometimes ago the recurse parameter worked. ![]() |

that message is coming from your shell which is what expands the *.mp4

I know. But the command don't show in the subfolder for mp4-files - it looks only in the data folder. I have calibre version 5.37 run on Ubuntu Mate 21.10.

The command is not running at all, because the shell is erroring out before it launches it. And it doesnt support wildcards anyway.
