Release Notes:
https://github.com/kiwidude68/calibr...ictiondb-1.5.0

significant changes to much of the plugin to deal with FictionDB site changes, also a new feature added to allow creating tags from the "Characters & Occupations" that some books have.

I started a new library with the 229 books. Interestingly I got the same 29 books but this time I got proper tags. Great!

However, I decided to test for the books between good results. It seems like if I select, say 10 books which weren't found I receive the proper data for ONE of the books in the set. Most often the first book in the set.

If I now select say the next 9 books which weren't found and do a new search for that set, I often get the first one as being found now.

It is almost like there is some sort of barrier that says I will look for a single book in the set however long it takes up to 10 books but stops if it finds one.

I don't think I am explaining this very well so I hope I got the idea across. Calibre recently said some sources limit how many books you can add in a day but this doesn't seem to be the case here. The search stops atr the firsat success.

I ran a complete 2700 book library using the latest plugin update. The plugin did retrieve certain books properly but consistently skipped 10 books between successful retrievals. Thus books #1, #11, #21, #31 etc. were the only retrieved tags. For the books found Tags are correct.

That's a good way to get banned or blocked. You are doing way too many books in one go.
