In the metadata download window I get error message that no book is found and in the metadata editor window no book is found either. So if the system does not find the metadata only where is the question of identifiers I guess!!

I even went to Chrome to clean up cookies cache but no change after that also. Just so frustrated.

Yes, that is where what is shown in the book details pane is controlled. And specifically, it is what is selected in the "Select displayed metadata" list.

But, metadata download also has options for what is accepted. There is an overall configuration of what will be updated for the book. And each metadata source plugin has options for what will be taken from that source. That will affect the metadata that gets updated. But, the identifiers will always be updated.

Firstly, Chrome has nothing to do with this. All the metadata downloads happen through calibre code. It doesn't use the cache.

And if you aren't finding the book using the metadata download, then none of the rest will happen. Is that what has been happening all the time in this thread? Or is it new or just the book?

For no book found during the metadata download, you need to check the sources you are using. Make sure you do have some enabled. And then check the site actually used to see if they actually have the book. The metadata download will use existing identifiers, such as ISBN, but then use the title and author for searches. If there are errors in either of those, or extra information in the title (such as the series name or a subtitle) the likelihood of a match is reduced. And if you are sure everything is correct, post details of some samples for us to see.

There is also a log of the metadata download that can be viewed when it is finished. You can copy that and post that. We can generally see problems, but, not always.

"Is that what has been happening all the time in this thread?" ......Yes

Tried sending a jpg of my Metadata Download page in Preferences but I dont know how to in this forum page.

When I tried Metdata Download for this book it said No match found. Below are the details

Spoiler:

When I tried Edit Metadata button and chose Download Metadata and covers message was
"calibre, version 5.32.0
: Finished downloading metadata for 0 books. Proceed with updating the metadata in your library?Could not download metadata and/or covers for 1 of the books. Click "Show details" to see which books.

The Wraith Royals: The Complete Trilogy (Failed metadata)"

Thank you for taking the time to help

This was definitely not clear. Your posts imply the metadata is being found when you do the download, but, they are not showing in the calibre interface after doing the actions I mentioned above. And your response after I posted the steps for downloading metadata actually said you followed the 9 steps. Which you could not have if no metadata was actually found. And I only posted those steps because there was an obvious disconnect in what you were seeing and what we thought you were seeing.

If you had said you that no metadata was being found in the first post, the questions asked by us would have been completely different.

From the logs, the connection to most of the sources is failing. That is something happening at your end, your ISP or something else blocking those sites. Or it could just be a very slow connection. I am surprised to see that you can't reach google. You could change the configuration of the Amazon sources to not use Google but to use Amazon directly or one of the other choices. I am having success with these sources from Australia.

For Fantastic Fiction, the site is reached but no results are found. When tried, I had the same results. Going to the Fantastic Fiction and doing the search, it does not find any books for "Arabella Black". Or for the title "The Wraith Royals: The Complete Trilogy". It is a newish book, so the latter is not that surprising, but, Goodreads shows several books from the same author, so the author missing is surprising. Unless her books are considered only on the Fantastic Fiction Adult site.

In any case, you need to sort out the connectivity issues. Diagnosing that remotely is difficult. The first thing to check is can you reach them by other means. If you can, you need to work out what is different about those connections. The simple are firewalls or proxies. Maybe your firewall/antivirus/antimalware is blocking calibre from accessing those sites. Beyond that, it gets harder and probably needs someone there to look.
