Calibre 5.3 Not Starting on Win 10
Hello, I've been using Calibre for some time and had a very old version. I recently upgraded to 5.2 and then to 5.3 and Calibre stopped working. It crashed just after initializing the interface. I have removed Calibre completely and reinstalled and I still get the same error message from calibre-debug, pasted below.
I'd appreciate any assistance! Spoiler:

Can you attach the metadata.db file from your calibre library folder.

That database somehow has empty strings for the series index, and with the update to python 3 in calibre 5, sortingit errors out. Will add a fix fo rth enext release, in the meantime you can downgrade calibre to 4.23
