[GUI Plugin] Count Pages

[DNSB]

One issue is that many websites are blocking based on too many requests (either from 1 IP address or from all IP addresses). If you try connecting with a web browser, you get either an error message or a captcha before you can continue.

Hmmm. I'm able to access goodreads.com and the mobile app from the same IP without issue.

After some trial and error, I discovered that if I queried one book at a time, with about 5 seconds between each query, it'd work. Kind of annoying, since I have hundreds of books, but at least it's working now. Thanks!

IMHO this PI should be honoring the same (tweakable) setting as the normal Get Metadata feature to avoid betting all Calibre usage black listed.

Why the friggan rush? You did not have page counts before. It took you quite a bit of time to accumulate hundreds of books. Believe me, I know! One of the first things I did with Calibre was enter my Paper Library (~900 paperbacks).

Many were so old, their (actual) covers were not available for download (or the quality was distorted). Batches of 10-20, correct obvious Author-Title errors-research Not Found (some were pre-ISBN), Slap the book on the Flatbed Scanner when needed, then add that.
Repeat until my back gave out and call it a day.
Later I would gather missing metadata for small batches.
Total time, working a couple of hours a whack: over a year. And note: that metadata had not been really cleaned (42 versions of Science Fiction). Sometimes I would have to retrieve the copy and review because the tag said "SF&F" but I did not remember any F (or the flip)
Take your time. Do the books NOW, that you plan to read in the near future. If you are like me, you will adjust what or how you file books in your library (hoo-boy, some adjustments affected lots of books ).

I'm getting this QT6 error in the latest update. I found a couple of other threads on the forum that seem to address this specific issue. Just a heads up so it can be fixed in the next release

My apologies for not replying earlier. I know of this and have deliberately not fixed it yet. That function is only intended for debugging and should rarely be used. And is in a lot of plugins. I have been waiting for things to settle down before fixing this in case there is an issue to fix elsewhere. I will try and update it sometime in the next week or so, but, it will be a low priority.

Were you needing to do something with this dialog? Or just poking around?

[davidfor]

I have just released version 1.11.2 if the plugin. This is a fix for the calibre 6/Qt6 issue reported by @astergremlin. There are no other to the plugin.

The release notes are:

• Fix: Qt6 compatiblility - Prefs viewer tab stops.

As usual, calibre will announce the update in the next hour or so. And any problems with the plugin should be reported here.

[Kurohane]

@davidfor Not sure what your preference is on community contributions, but I was playing around with Calibre plugins and made a few modifications to the count_pages plugin. Namely, a few more sources for page counts (Amazon, AmazonJP, Google) and an additional readability algorithm specifically for Japanese text. It doesn't have the latest update merged in but it is available on my GitHub https://github.com/sharder996/count_pages if you're interested.

[wegsa]

Count Pages works perfect with cbz ebooks with jpg files.
But now this plugin show me "0" pages with cbz with webp files.

i think, this plugin dont see every webp files as a page.

i use Calibre v6.5.0 and Count Pages v1.11.3

[gbuggie]

Hi experts and geniuses!

I've searched all the threads, and I've tried all the suggestions, but I'm running out of patience and brain power! I like to think I'm pretty savvy, but this one is doing my head in!

I'm using:
calibre 6.6
Count Pages 1.11.3
macOS 12.5.1

Things I have already tried:

• Ensuring calibre has full disk access
  Updating all plugins
  Installing "KoboBooks" plugin upon discovering it wasn't even installed
  Adding calibre to mac security firewall exception list
  Adding calibre to exception list in CleanMyMac X
  Disabling CleanMyMac X
  Running plugin on various books from various sources
  Um... I might've tried more, but I can't remember now. I've been going around in circles and also trying to solve other problems (some related, some not) at the same time, so I'm all jumbled up now

Any help from someone here would be greatly appreciated

@gbuggie - I have no idea from that what is going on as not a Mac user. Though I am confused as to what the KoboBooks metadata plugin is doing in there. Count pages has no dependency on it that I am aware of, and it appears to be throwing errors? So I would remove that for a start and see what happens next.

Do other types of background jobs work, such as converting a book format? Have you tried on a different epub - perhaps that particular one is corrupted, or protected by DRM or something?

Skipping non page count statistics for CBR/CBZ

[kiwidude]

@wegsa - I meant to reply to you earlier but I wanted to check something in the code first. For CBR/CBZ books the plugin currently counts the number of .jpeg, .jpg, .gif and .png files within the book and calls that a page for counting purposes.

Perhaps .webp files need to be added to that list? I know nothing about comics I'm afraid - if you want to PM me a link to one of these files I can do some investigation.

[BeckyEbook]

I confirm, that add .webp extension to line:

COMIC_PAGE_EXTENSIONS = ['.jpeg', '.jpg', '.gif', '.png', '.webp']

works.

[kiwidude]

Thanks Becky, I will put it in the next release…
