I just tried with my TabA

(I have 8.1.1 on W10)

I noticed, you have multiple Plugins failing to initialize.
Do you have the current version of those?

pookiebr · 03-30-2025, 07:51 PM

I do. I updated everything when I downloaded Calibre 8.1.1.

I have no clue on why those fail (I don't use those myself).

Looking at the names such as Webscription Books, Beam eBooks and Libri_hu, these plugins likely did not update since they are either no longer offered or are horribly outdated. The Webscription plugin later become the Baen plugin and that has not been updated since late 2022 though it still works, the Beam eBooks plugin is still at the original release version from 2011 and Libri_hu was last updated in 2014.

Just perhaps, a review of installed plugins would be a good idea.

When I went back and looked at my plugins neither of these show on the current installed list. This is all getting very frustrating.....

That's a failure writing a file to the device. Usually, this kind of error can be fixed by
following the steps below in sequence. First:

1) Try rebooting both the device and your computer
2) If that does not work, find the files driveinfo.calibre and metadata.calibre on the device
and delete them (you can use Windows Explorer or a file manager on the device itself to do this)
3) Reset the device

If none of those work, you can use one of the wireless communication methods described here:

Just clarifying - delete those 2 files from the samsung tablet not the computer correct?
Thank you for the help....

Correct. (AFAIK they don't normally appear anyplace on the computer)
driveinfo is a device identifier to (possible multiple) Calibre installs
metadata.calibre was the inventory of books found on the device (enables the speedup of discovery. That must happen again if this file is gone and that takes a lot of time when the device has lots of storage)
