[FileType Plugin] ACSM input plugin

[DNSB]

Great to hear that I was able to help you. Though I may need to widen some doorways so I can fit my ego through.

Hi; please I would like to ask if is this plugin needed, and is it the only way to have a readable acsm file?
I've bought a comic from the Kobo store, to see how it would look onto a 13" gnu/linux tablet.
As reading it from the Kobo Viewer into the browser is not any good (looks like a scanned two-sheets' fit per page), I've tried to download it from the Kobo Forma, and connect it to Calibre, although I can't open the file in any way.
I would like to open it within a better and dedicated application.
(Would I need DeDRM, also?) https://github.com/apprenticeharper/...-to-remove-DRM

Adobe Digital Editions 2.0.1.

Thanks in advance.

The ACSM file is a token to download the actual content. It can either be processed by this plugin OR Adobe Digital Edition; either one will download the exact same content which will still be protected by Adobe's DRM.

The DRM can be removed by the DeDRM plugin

Thanks, yes the comic's file has also DRM, I'll follow this guide: https://gist.github.com/Svanazar/650...3c5e03ff3b5a06
Although, I'll think about, the next time, before to buy, and search on other stores (that corrently I don't know).
I guess, I won't be picky, but it will require wine, too.

Your link to DeDRM is to an obsolete version. You want a newer version of DeDRM. get the autorelease version which has all of the latest code.

Alternately, you can try sats' updated version of DeDRM. It can be found on GitHub at DeDRM_tools. Click on Releases to see the newer releases.

Thank you both!

Hi there,

I thought someone might benefit from this issue I solved with some ai help..

I ran into the libcrypto issue, and through some trial and error we (the claude llm and I) figured out it was the python plugin that was causing the library not to be found.

So applied this patch:

python3 << 'EOF'
path = '~/.config/calibre/plugins/DeACSM/modules/oscrypto/oscrypto/_openssl/_libcrypto_ctypes.py'
with open(path) as f:
    content = f.read()

old = "version_match = re.search('\\\\b(\\\\d\\\\.\\\\d\\\\.\\\\d[a-z]*)\\\\b', version_string)"
new = "version_match = re.search('\\\\b(\\\\d\\\\.\\\\d+\\\\.\\\\d+[a-z]*)\\\\b', version_string)"

if old in content:
    content = content.replace(old, new)
    with open(path, 'w') as f:
        f.write(content)
    print('Patched successfully')
else:
    print('String not found - printing relevant section:')
    for i, line in enumerate(content.splitlines()[42:50], 43):
        print(f'{i}: {repr(line)}')
EOF

I could then install it, and downloaded a test acsm file from adobe no problem.

Kinda hard to tell what the patch is actually doing. If this actually fixes the code, have you thought about submitting a pull request to the plugin's GH repo?
