Converting the Frankenstein-book is now successful with 64bit calibre as well.

Thanks for the report.

I also finished my testing. First of all: KCC output is not compatible with this plugin. It require simple changes on my side but I don't see a reason to implement them yet.

Generally it is step in right direction but it looks like there are reasons why Fixed Layout option is not yet available in KP3 GUI.

Lack of Panel View - apparently not yet implemented or require different syntax than Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines state.
Fluctuations of image quality - Images in KF8 books look simply better. Some pages are little blurred. It look like resizing algorithm kicks in sometimes when it is not needed.
Books are unstable - KFX renderer crash sometimes without any known reason.
Preview of double page spreads is undocumented. I expected that is controlled somehow by page-spread-* itemref but I failed to get it working correctly.

In my opinion manga/comics currently published on Amazon in KFX format use different tool than KFXGenApp (or different version of it) and/or Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines are out-of-date.

We will see what next upgrades of KP3 will bring. I would love to put my hands on some official release of manga before it was handled to Amazon for KFX conversion. It is quite possible they don't use HTML at all.

For now there are too many unknowns and quirks to implement KFX output in KCC.

This post is based mostly on guesswork so I reserve the right to be completely wrong :-)

EDIT:
Experiments with page-spread-* crash KFXGenApp. Syntax is 100% correct and consistent with Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines. It definitely looks like textbook example of NotImplementedError :-)

Thank you to abogomolov for the older version of the Kindle Previewer.
Thanks also to jhowell for your work on the plugin.

That said, nothing I do gets this plugin to work.

Each book (including the Frankenstein book) gives me this error.

calibre, version 2.85.1
ERROR: KFX conversion failed: Frankenstein Kindle Previewer error: Unknown (See log)

Where is the log?

I've used calibre a long time, so I figured some of the other plugins may be conflicting.
I removed the 64 bit version of calibre and deleted the AppData folder.

I installed 32 calibre. That didn't work either.

Another user in this thread said the using calibre portable worked for him. That didn't work for me either. Just fails with the same error message every time.

Displaying conversion job logs is a calibre function.

From "Dealing with Conversion Errors" in the first post in this thread:

Quote:

You can view the conversion job log after an error occurs to see all of the messages produced by the Previewer during conversion. To access the log, either click on the "Jobs: 0" label in the lower right corner of the calibre window or use the Alt-Shift-J keyboard shortcut to activate the Jobs dialog. Select the failed conversion job from the list (the most recent will be first) and click the "Show job details" button. To copy the log to the clipboard under Windows, click within the log text then press Ctrl-A (select all) and Ctrl-C (copy). You can then paste it wherever you like.

I removed all but the relevant error message from the log above.

It seems your system is running out of memory when attempting conversion. I'm not sure what you can do to solve this. Perhaps more RAM?

The next release of the plugin will check for this error condition and report it without a need to search the log.

CalbertAmu · 05-15-2017, 12:05 AM

A very useful plugin. Thank you.

Since this takes care of hyphenation and also the text alignment, I no longer need to use the 'hyphenate this' plugin, and change the alignment before conversion.

Is there any need for the latter plugin if I'm using this one?

EDIT: I got this error because it took a long time to convert a book (900 seconds)

calibre, version 2.84.0
ERROR: KFX conversion failed: NRSV Bible With the Apocrypha Kindle Previewer error: Timeout. Conversion did not complete within 900 seconds. Process terminated

I tried looking for ways to extend the time limit but can't find anything.
MacOS, PW3. I was successful in converting other books, but maybe this one was too big..?

The time limit is built into the plugin. I will add a way to extend or remove it in the next plugin release.

In the mean time I suggest trying to convert the book by opening it in Kindle Previewer 3 outside of calibre. If it successfully allows Enhanced Typesetting in the Previewer then you should be able to convert the files left over by the Previewer to KFX. See "Conversion of the Most Recent Book from the Kindle Previewer GUI" under the "Command Line Interface" heading in the first post of this thread for details.

This is very odd. The machine I'm working on has 8 GB of RAM installed. I closed everything else besides calibre, I even turned off my antivirus, I checked how much memory is being used, and I have 4 GB available.

Still got the error message. (to be clear I checked the log and the same nonsense about not being able to create a 1 gig heap that you isolated is present).

Any ideas?

hidden.platypus · 05-15-2017, 02:46 PM

I've tried everything including cleaning java off this machine.

Downloading and installing 64 bit java rather than 32 bit java.

I've changed configuration options directly in java...I even tried some suggestions I found on the interwebs.

I am forced to conclude that this plugin either hates dragons or platypi.

That is all.

Kindle Previewer 3 includes its own copy of Java so changes made to your system's Java installation will have no effect.

Have you tried removing and re-installing the Previewer? Other than that I am out of ideas.

I have. I even went so far as to replace the java.exe and a couple dlls in the Kindle folder with freshly downloaded java executables and libraries. Still didn't work.

This is probably the remnants of some coding I did years ago. Plugin works on other machines.

I'll probably need to install fresh OS to have it work right on this machine.

Thanks for your patience and assistance.

Kindle Previewer version 3.11 beta is now available.

The current release of this plugin (1.8.0) works properly with Kindle Previewer 3.11.

I have done some more testing with the latest Previewer version and have been able to eliminate that error in some cases by adding either one of the following to the OPF before conversion:

Code:

<meta property="rendition:orientation">portrait</meta>
<meta name="orientation-lock" content="portrait"/>

Leaving these at the default value results in the failure mentioned above.

I also noticed this but even then Panel View code is still ignored.

Thanks also to jhowell for your work on the plugin. That said, nothing I do gets this plugin to work. Each book (including the Frankenstein book) gives me this error. calibre, version 2.85.1 ERROR: KFX conversion failed: <p>Frankenstein<br><br><b>Kindle Previewer error:</b> Unknown (See log)</p> Where is the log? I've used calibre a long time, so I figured some of the other plugins may be conflicting. I removed the 64 bit version of calibre and deleted the AppData folder. I installed 32 calibre. That didn't work either. Another user in this thread said the using calibre portable worked for him. That didn't work for me either. Just fails with the same error message every time.

CalbertAmu Connoisseur Posts: 86 Karma: 28 Join Date: Feb 2016 Device: Kobo Aura One	A very useful plugin. Thank you. Since this takes care of hyphenation and also the text alignment, I no longer need to use the 'hyphenate this' plugin, and change the alignment before conversion. Is there any need for the latter plugin if I'm using this one? EDIT: I got this error because it took a long time to convert a book (900 seconds) calibre, version 2.84.0 ERROR: KFX conversion failed: <p>NRSV Bible With the Apocrypha<br><br><b>Kindle Previewer error:</b> Timeout. Conversion did not complete within 900 seconds. Process terminated</p> I tried looking for ways to extend the time limit but can't find anything. MacOS, PW3. I was successful in converting other books, but maybe this one was too big..? Last edited by CalbertAmu; 05-15-2017 at 12:30 AM.

Downloading and installing 64 bit java rather than 32 bit java. I've changed configuration options directly in java...I even tried some suggestions I found on the interwebs. I am forced to conclude that this plugin either hates dragons or platypi. That is all.
