Calculated 0 week wait at King County Library: library_copies=7 available_copies=4
When I click on the links above, the web pages I see all have a "borrow" button. I do not have credentials to try actually borrowing any of them.

When I try to borrow that book from King County, using the Overdrive Link, the URL that comes up is:
http://overdrive.downloads.kcls.org/...B-BDC80B99C8D9

And it is a Hold message.
Why did OL Job Details report a different link?

Why I have no idea...

FYI, here is the metadata ID listing:
"isbn:9780356502441, amazon:0425265625, barnesnoble:w/tower-lord-anthony-ryan/1117225008, ff:r/anthony-ryan/tower-lord, goodreads:18138189, odid:1438786@freelibrary.overdrive.com&1438786@ott awa.overdrive.com&1438786@sdcl.overdrive.com&17724 55#capitalarealibrary.overdrive.com&1772455#sdcl.o verdrive.com&b31cd00e-31ba-4368-aacb-bdc80b99c8d9@overdrive.downloads.kcls.org&e39b0379-ed5b-47de-b96e-a300db98c25c#overdrive.downloads.kcls.org"

The log you posted previously showed both an e-book and an audiobook at King County. That is also shown in the metadata that you posted above:

b31cd00e-31ba-4368-aacb-bdc80b99c8d9@overdrive.downloads.kcls.org -- is the ebook
e39b0379-ed5b-47de-b96e-a300db98c25c#overdrive.downloads.kcls.org -- is the audiobook

When you select that book in calibre and click on the "Overdrive" plugin icon you will see one menu choice that says "Borrow book from King County" (or whatever name you have chosen for this library.) That is the one that has a waiting list. Further down you will also see "Borrow audiobook from King County". This is the one that has no wait to borrow.

I assume that you have created a custom column with a lookup name of ol_wait_weeks. That same custom column will show availability information for Kindle Unlimited. It will show a wait of 00 for most books. A non-zero wait will be shown for pre-release titles that are listed on Amazon as part of Kindle Unlimited but are not yet available to borrow.

First you have to perform searches to establish links. Then you need to select books that a search has previously found to be available from Kindle Unlimited. The custom column will be updated for those selected books when you use the plugin menu choice "Check current availability of selected books". When you examine the wait weeks column you will see the wait time and the library name, for example "00@KU", assuming that you have used the name "KU" in your plugin configuration for Kindle Unlimited.

Thank you. I have done exactly what you say. While it shows in the log 00@KU, it does not seem to transfer to the column, similar to how it does for FLP. Do I need to put credentials in for KU?

No credentials needed. I am at a loss to explain this. Perhaps you could post a log with any personal information redacted.

larry1223 · 11-30-2016, 10:45 PM

Thank you. Let me play with it more, and if I can't make it work will send a log.

First I ran the search for book and here is the log (I deleted the FLP info as it was working):

For some reason, all searches from Overdrive Link for anything Amazon now show that they are waiting due to Amazon throttling.

When I paste the URL from the logs into my browser, it's no problem, so my IP address isn't being throttled. Is there anything I can do to fix the issue with the plugin?

Amazon does not want automated software pulling data from their web pages in bulk. That is fine with me. I do not want to get into a cat-and-mouse game with them trying to work around this.

It is actually your IP address being blocked, but only partially. The same thing happens to me occasionally. Amazon starts blocking requests if it receives too many of the same kind from the same IP address. I suggest being less aggressive about searching there.

The problem usually clears itself if you wait an hour or so. As an alternative you can use a VPN and change your IP address when you notice that you have been blocked by Amazon. Doing that is up to you.

The problem appears to be that Amazon is sending something that the plugin cannot interpret properly.

It is working properly for me with the same book. It is odd that it isn't for you. There must be something different about how Amazon is handling requests from your system. Are you located within the US?

I will continue to try to duplicate this problem with my system and post here if I come up with anything.

(ETA: The problem could be due to a page layout change that Amazon is rolling out incrementally. If so then I should be able to duplicate this problem eventually.)

Every login to Cloud Library fails with:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calibre_plugins.overdrive_link.jobs", line 951, in sign_in
  File "calibre_plugins.overdrive_link.cloud_library", line 137, in sign_in
KeyError: u'SessionId'

I have two different libraries that use Cloud, and both fail the same way. Manual login using the web page works fine for both.

There was a website change. I will release a new version of the plugin to fix this in the next day or two.

larry1223 · 12-01-2016, 03:17 PM

Thank you. I was actually able to use the custom column showing a check for available books and showing only KU books to get a note of what is KU eligible. Still curious as to what is causing it if you ever find out.

You never answered my question of whether you are outside of the US.

I was able to duplicate the problem that you are having by using a VPN to simulate access from another country. Because KU at amazon.com is only for US customers, the web pages for kindle books do not indicate KU eligibility when accessed from outside the US. Without this information the plugin does not work properly.

So if you are trying to determine KU book availability from outside of the US I'm afraid it isn't going to work fully.

Thank you. I am currently travelling, which must be the reason. I will try when i am back.
