nOOb help - Installing a calibre plugin

SilentSeven · 09-07-2010, 12:58 AM

Trying to install the mobidedrm.py plugin in Calibre 07.17 on a Windows 7 Pro 32 bit machine.

mobidedrm.py version is 0.13

Instructions state to put the python script with a name ending _plugin.py into a zip file and import into Calibre.

I do this and get the following error:

ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>IOError</b>:[Errno 22] Invalid argument

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\config\__init__.py", line 623, in add_plugin
File "site-packages\calibre\customize\ui.py", line 370, in add_plugin
File "site-packages\calibre\customize\ui.py", line 65, in load_plugin
File "zipfile.py", line 693, in __init__

File "zipfile.py", line 201, in _EndRecData
File "zipfile.py", line 147, in _EndRecData64
IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

Thanks in advance...appreciate the help.

Problem fixed. Apparently there is newer version of the script - version 0.16. Used that and all is good.

Hope you'll stick around, SilentSeven even though you have found a solution. Always good to have new company here. Best wishes. Neil

Thanks Neil. I'm sure I'll be in and out as I try to sort out the Calibre application. ebooks, management thereof, and the Kindle are all new to me. Cool stuff...and looking to learn how to get the most of it.
