Take a look at https://github.com/ping/libby-calibre-plugin/pull/17 and see if it helps

I took a look at this page, it sounds like importing the downloaded zip file plugin without unzipping it might be the cause from the comments, but since I didn't directly download this from the calibre forums, I am not sure that applies since I used the get plugin download feature within calibre itself, and I didn't directly download most of them from this forum, I normally install most of the plugins directly from calibre's plugin download system.

spicefather commented last month

Seems like you might be using the repo zip directly, you do need to unzip that and re-zip it as noted in my comment above. Once unzipped, go into the calibre-plugin folder, select everything, and create zip (7-zip or Windows' "Send to > Compressed folder" should both be fine).

this comment is the one I am referring to, since I don't need to uncompress or do a 7-zip thing with the plugin, I should not have to unzip the one that was downloaded with Calibre's plugin download system I think, it a bit confused me. but it almost sounds like a different problem.

my error does not have this in it below, from that page link.

calibre.customize.InvalidPlugin: The plugin in 'D:\\Documents\\libby-calibre-plugin-main.zip' is invalid. It does not contain a top-level __init__.py file

this page some what matches to the main code on that page,

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre_plugins.overdrive_libby.models", line 1077, in data

but that page has a few lines in the traceback that mine did not have if that matters, below in bold is the only matching traceback line, the rest of them I didn't get in my error.

.

Sorry, I shouldn't have just pointed you to this page without explaining what it was.

The page is (I hope) instructions on how to fix your problem.

So downloading the zip and unzipping is not causing your problem but instead is (hopefully) the solution to your problem.

Basically what I think happened is this.

p1nkyy had a problem with an error message that sound very similar to yours and reported it at https://github.com/ping/libby-calibre-plugin/issues/20

spicefather fixed the issue and also sent the details of the fix to ping who wrote the plugin and maintains/publishes it.

Unfortunately ping is busy and does not have time to deal with this. So the official plugin still does not contain the fix.

p1nkyy then asked spicefather how he fixed the issue.

He/she was given instructions, but didn't follow them completely. He/she must have downloaded the zip from https://github.com/spicefather/libby...heads/main.zip , but missed the bit where he needed to extract the files and then re-zip just the files in the calibre-plugin folder.

This is when he/she got the InvalidPlugin error

spicefather then clarifies what needs to be done to fix the issue.

p1knkky then follows the instructions correctly and it sorted their problem.

So I was hoping if you followed the same instructions, then it might sort yours.

Does that make sense now?

[miss_p1nky]

@sgmoore is correct, I had troubles applying the forked plugin but finally made it work and it got rid of the problem of the unmatched date.

[KindleAZWorKFX]

@sgmoore is correct, I also was able to fix it, I tried and worked it out, I had to import the new files into a zipped folder, then from calibre import it, I was unable to just edit and rezip it under the folder in calibre's plugins, I had to use the interface and import a modified zip file with the data files from github, but that worked for me. it didn't like me just reziping the files in the source folder for calibre's plugins, again I was able to get it updated and no more time error so far. thanks for the help when I had just reziped the files from github, without using the import zip feature of calibre, it just didn't load the plugin at all with just that method, but when I added the files and imported it with

load plugin from file option in calibre, that worked once I took the files from github for overdrive libby and made a zip of those files, that's how I was able to fix it.

This plugin has been working great for me (I have been using the spice father fork), then today suddenly stopped working altogether. I get this error when trying to refresh my holds or loans:

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I deleted an expired library card in Libby and 'synced' all my shelfs. I am at a loss. Any help would be very much appreciated!!

[Amalthia]

I'm also unable to use the plugin today. I'm seeing the same errors that Jess reported.

[Thena]

I also got these errors suddenly. I uninstalled and re-installed. Didn't work.

What did work for me is regenerating my Libby code. I went to settings in Libby to get a new and it worked.

Other than that, I really like this plugin and am grateful for it since I have library cards at 5 libraries. This is the best way for me to download the ACSM files.

Your solution worked for me!

Same here, but Thena's solution of generating a new Libby Setup Code solved it.

[DaySleeper]

Thanks. At first I thought I just had to click the "generate setup code button," but that gave me another Error 403. Then I checked the help file and it turned out I needed to get a code from a device that has the Libby app installed on it, and type it in to the plugin configuration screen. That worked, and I'm back in business.

[adinab]

I've been using the Overdrive Libby plugin for Calibre on Mac without issue until tonight, where it was giving me an error. I tried reinstalling the plugin and went to the 'customize plugin' area where I would enter in the setup code as I had done in the past... but it won't let me type it in. It just gives me a thick black line and when I try to type in the code, nothing shows up. I'm on Mac, I tried downgrading to Calibre 7.8.0, installed the plugin directly from Calibre and then from a zip file, restarted my computer, reinstalled EVERYTHING including Calibre to 6.29 and all of my plugins, upgraded back up to 7.9.0. Still can't enter the setup code when I had no issue doing it in the past. Would anyone be able to help with this or tell me why it might be happening?
