Question [Metadata Source Plugin] Show multiple results for single source?
I'm writing a plugin to download book info from DriveThruRPG. It's working very well, but one thing that's confusing me is how to get it to show multiple search results to pick from?

I can confirm that multiple Metadata items are being added to the result_queue, but the "Downloading metadata..." window only ever shows 1 item to pick from. What could I be doing wrong?

That's how downloading metadata works by default you can change it via Preferences->metadata download->keep more than one result per source

Ok, that's definitely it. I could have sworn I was seeing multiple results from the Goodreads plugin when "Keep more than one result per source" was unchecked, but now I can't reproduce that. Must have been late-night coding hallucinations.

Thank you! Also thank you for Calibre in general.

Sure. As soon as I get it working again. It was working great for a while, and then about a week or so ago I started getting blocked by Cloudflare challenge.

Have a look at the code for the Kobo Metadata plugin. It has to get past Cloudflare and does it pretty well.

Yeah, so I just ignored the problem for a while, and the next time I tried the plugin it was working again. I've cleaned it up a bit, and posted it for other people to try. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=370245
