Weird Calibre error when trying to send books to Kobo

findog88 · 08-06-2020, 02:35 PM

I get this error whenever I plug in or try to send books to my kobo. I just recently factory reset it so I don't know what is causing it.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Solved! Turns out I had a blank url added to my favourites in my browser causing parsing issues. After deleting it the error went away.

calibre, version 4.22.0
