Cover download error

wrzx · 09-18-2015, 08:23 AM

Hi,
im trying to create metadata search plugin and when it comes to downloading cover image it finished with this error

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\metadata\sources\covers.py", line 63, in process_result
  File "site-packages\calibre\utils\magick\__init__.py", line 135, in load
Exception: no decode delegate for this image format `' @ error/blob.c/BlobToImage/358

here is example link to image which is running good from every browser but generating error from above in calibre
direct url
xtrance.info/new/?mainpage=file&subpage=publication_image&id=7730

Can anybody tell me how to make it works?

Thanks

works for me in vanilla chrome and overweight firefox. Maybe xtrance was off air for bit.

try putting an "http://" in front of the address.

That error indicates what you are getting is not an image, most likely it is some html page. Download it programmatically and see.

calibre-debug -c "from calibre import browser; br = browser(); print(br.open(url).read())"

Thanks for replay Kovid.
I tried what you suggest but it looks that response is normal image in JPG format. See attached screenshot.

Then its likely the server has implemented some form of scraping protection. You will need ot run calibre from source and save the response by modify the code in the file pointed to in the error message. Instructions for setting upa calibre development environment are in the user manual
