Hello everyone, I don't speak English and therefore use a translator, sorry for any potential mistakes or misunderstandings on my part.

I have a small problem.

I have a Kobo aura with the latest update.
In the meantime, I switched from windows to IOS and so I downloaded new calibers on my mac.

At the same time I wanted to reorganize all my virtual library on calibre.

And then when I opened my Kobo, I realized that I no longer had a series, despite the fact that via caliber I created series.

What can I do to have my series created on caliber again appear directly on my Kobo?

This forces me once my books on the Kobo to create the series manually.
And I have over 200 sets.

Hello and welcome to MobileRead!

Have you set the Metadata Management to Automatic? If so, then you'll have to eject and re-connect your Kobo for Calibre to update the series info.

AND, do you mean series as in The Wheel of Time: Book 1 or do you mean shelves/collections (like genres or other custom categories)? If the latter, then you'll have to specify which custom column to use for shelves in the Kobo driver options.

[QUOTE=Sirtel;4236261]Bonjour et bienvenue sur MobileRead! Avez-vous défini la gestion des métadonnées sur Automatique ? Si tel est le cas, vous devrez éjecter et reconnecter votre Kobo for Calibre pour mettre à jour les informations de la série. ET, voulez-vous dire des séries comme dans The Wheel of Time : Book 1 ou voulez-vous dire des étagères/collections (comme des genres ou d'autres catégories personnalisées) ? Dans ce dernier cas, vous devrez spécifier quelle colonne personnalisée utiliser pour les étagères dans les options du pilote Kobo.[ /DEVIS]

What do you mean by automatic metadata management?

Yes I mean series, a suite of volumes 1, 2 etc, to put in a single folder that appears on the kobo

[Sirtel]

Automatic management:
Preferences -> Sending books to devices -> Metadata management -> Automatic

Once you have sent the books to the Kobo, eject the device and wait until the books have been processed. Then connect your Kobo to Calibre again and let Calibre update the metadata on the device. Now you should have the series info on your Kobo.

I'm really sorry but I can't even find "preference"

Hello and thank you for your response.

I succeeded but it does not do it the first time, once the series is added and the Kobo is disconnected, I have to reconnect it and disconnect again for the series to be added.

Yes, that's what I said and that is how it works.

Oh ok, is this the new update? Because in my memories, about 4 or 5 years ago it was done directly.

Now that this problem is solved, another problem arises.
Despite having space in the Kobo, I was able to add a maximum of 22 books to the Kobo.
You know why ?
knowing that I have 4G on my Kobo.

Yes, it was different 4-5 years ago. Then Kobo could not read the series metadata for sideloaded books at all and you had to put your series in the collections for Kobo to read them. Now Kobo can read the series info directly, but you have to connect your device twice.

What happened after you added these 22 books? Did you get an error message?
