Did you download via the internal Calibre recipe system and the GUI, or did you run ebook-convert on the command line? I'm getting a complete recipe when run via the command line and an incomplete one when run via the GUI.

I hesitate to report this, as there should be no difference between the two, and I haven't had time to track down what's going on (and it's just barely possible that there is a subtle difference - I may have done some subtle cleanup of tabs before running it on the CL). There should be no difference, but I have seen a difference before (in one rare case).

Try running from command line.

I used "ebook-convert" from the command line.

That's as I suspected. I took a brief look at this 2 days ago. Initially I ran the recipe and was surprised when it completed successfully. I noticed it was fairly small, but I don't speak German and wasn't sure if it was supposed to contain more.

Then, when it was reported that it had changed and used to have more content, I looked at it again. As usual, I put it into my test recipe area and was very surprised when it worked perfectly to pull the article content. Initially I thought I might have changed it to make it start working.

(I suspect that's what happened with the changes by -Thomas-. Changes are made, tests run on the CL, and then they fail on the GUI)

I intended to go back to it, which I did briefly this morning. Again, it worked correctly from the command line. I then ran it from the GUI and it failed. I then saw your report that it worked. Would you kindly run it from the GUI and report success/failure?

As I said, I've seen this only once before (and even there I wasn't 100% certain that's what we were seeing)- where the CL works differently from the GUI. If this can be verified, it's a bug and we can track it down. I don't have access to a test machine at the moment

I just tried "ebook-convert" from the command line and now I have a complete epub.
The GUI method seems to work in a different way.

I used both the CLI and GUI to test the changes, and both work. I'm using Calibre 0.7.28 (compiled from source) on a Debian Linux 5.0 machine.

Maybe there is a connection between the charset option I included and my Linux machine, as Debian 5.0 is UTF-8 based while Windows uses some other encoding.

Thank you!!

The change posted by Artemis_A works for me, too. And I am very glad, too. Many thanks!

I still don't have the Zeit back. I only get an empty ebook sent to my Kindle with only the Topic pages without any content.

Please advice me on which log file to upload, so an experienced person could look at it.

Greetings
Thomas

I fixed the builtin recipe, try it again, it should work now.

tommy123 · 12-17-2010, 01:57 AM

This probably means that I have to wait for the new build, right?

tommy123 · 12-19-2010, 01:59 PM

I have just tested "Die Zeit" with Calibre 0.7.34. It works perfectly again. Thank you very much.
Die Zeit is one of the best weekly magazines in Germany. It comes out every Monday, but they also maintain an online editorial department.

Pinguin · 12-20-2010, 12:08 PM

Yes, with calibre 0.7.34 it works excellent without any changing. Thank you!
