Downloaded metadata does not show in book

I am using the latest Calibre version, but suddenly the downloaded metadata does not show in the book or in the main interface.

After download I click on the path. I see the opf file but when I click on it, I get the message ERROR: loading book failed

When I click on show details I get the below message
Spoiler:

"calibre, version 5.31.1
ERROR: Loading book failed: Failed to open the book at C:\Users\Meher_shroff\Documents\00 Mamaijee Data Files\Calibre\Emma Cole\The Complete Dark Duet_ Lark and Nig (18)\metadata.opf. Click "Show details" for more info.

None of the above makes sense to me but I copied and pasted as someone at help desk will make sense of it.

All along I was easily able to download metadata, and embed it in the book. Pls where is my mistake now?

Thank u

I am far from being an expert, but there is a lot going wrong there:
Failed to open Book
Failed to load 2 Plugins
failed worker.

I would Uninstall Calibre. Check the Calibre folder in Program files (should be empty or gone) Then reinstall from a fresh download.

An opf is not a book. Why are you trying to open the opf? If you want to see the metadta for the book its right there in the interface.

Thank you. I did what you suggested. Uninstalled, removed all old files, did a fresh download, but still no luck. No metadata is downloading. I chose only two sites to download from Amazon and Amazon Multiple countries, as I used to do earlier, but still no metadata downloaded.

I rely heavily on this function of Calibre and it used to work very smoothly before. I dont know what settings have been inadvertently changed.

Also in the Quickview of the Main Interface the metadata sources do not show on the left hand side although I have selected Identifiers in the list.

Any help?
Thank you

Thats the problem. It does not show in the interface, nor do the sources of metadata like Amazon or Amazon Multiple countries, show on the left hand side in the quick view of the interface like they did previously.

Very frustrated. What am I doing wrong?What setting have I changed by mistake?

When you download metadata what happens? click the view log button and post the log of the download.

That log indicates something on your computer is blocking calibre from downloading the metadata. Most likely an antivirus or firewall. Unblock calibre and you will be fine.

Retrying seems to work but it's annoying to have to retry the metadata download 3 or 4 times before it works.
