LRF conversion fails (to mobi)
Several books in .lrf format fail while converting to .mobi. The conversions justs stops after several minutes during "Generating XML" with no further error message. I have tried different output formats as well with the same result. 7 books out of 18 fails with the same error and the rest are successful. I can open all of them successfully with the viewer inside calibre.
Thanks |

I thought you indicated above that there was no generated error? You can open the original LRF file? I think you have to let the conversion continue. |

calibre's LRF input plugin only handles a very limited subset of LRF books, books that were created by calibre and that don't use too many levels of recursion internally. That's not going to change as LRF is a dead format and I have no motivation to spend more time on it.

This means if the lrf file was created by calibre (say from any other format) then the current version of calibre will convert the book. If the lrf was created by Book Designer or other application then there is no guarantee that calibre will convert the file. The reason for this is due to calibre being geared, through version 0.5.??, to convert files to lrf in support of Sony readers, not to other versions. With 0.6 LRF was retired by Sony and calibre looked forward to other formats. I don't know of any way to tell, except to say anything that fails wasn't created by calibre. Best bet is to find another source for your failed conversions. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 04-02-2011 at 07:21 PM. |
