Yes, Goodreads changed the site. There is a beta with a fix for this plus some other things near the end of the thread for the plugin. I have to arrange an official release of the update.

  4. Restart calibre again
  5. Now it should work

And if for any reason this fails to update metadata-sources-cache.json you can always delete it manually to restore functioning. To delete it manually, do the following:
  1. Click Preferences->Miscellaneous
  2. Click "Open calibre configuration directory"
  3. Delete the file "metadata-sources-cache.json"
  4. Restart calibre
Not working with isbn in 3.42. It may be that the internet connection is too flaky, or the book is too obscure, but the "failed to download metadata" message doesn't shed any light on why.

This thread was about a bug in calibre, that has been fixed. The steps you quoted shouldn't be needed unless you are still using that version.

The problem is probably that the book wasn't found by any of the metadata sources you use. Using more sources might help depending on how obscure the book is. It could also be that the title you have is different to the metadata sources. Doing a search on one of the sites should show this.

If you post the book details and the metadata sources you use, someone can test to see if they can find it.
