I'm trying to add start\end actions, but for some reason result is always empty. I.e. no recommendations are shown on the book end and the 'About book' info is empty.
Result is the same for all the books from my collection. Every book has a proper amazon id, and it properly links to goodreads from kindle (i.e. I can view info through goodreads, change it's status and etc). Plugin fetches 'About Author' info properly though. Am I missing something? Example book page: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/240617 If needed I can attach generated StartActions.data and EndActions.data as well (both have empty recommendations though).

Could there be some differences in goodreads.com's layout depending on account and\or location? I can add a screenshot or a saved page, if it may help. Just to make sure I'm doing everything correctly - step by step: 0. Get an azw3 book. 1. Add amazon/mobi-asin ids to metadata. 2. Add goodreads id with Goodreads plugin ('Link to goodreads...'). 3. 'X-Ray creator'->Create/update Files. Oh, and on one of the books the script fails to create xray (see attached log). [EDIT] Added x-ray creator settings and book settings from Tau Zero.

This error is going to be harder to figure out since it looks book specific as far as i can tell. |

When using this X-Ray plugin, is it normal to lose the cover displayed on the kindle in the process? It converts to a generic text based cover on the kindle's library.
So far that has been the case for all files I have added XRay's for. If I resync the cover I get it back but then I lose the XRay functionality. I am using azw3 files created by Calibre and am running kindle firmware 5.6.5 on a PW3. Running Calibre 3.8. Not sure if it's due to my old firmware version. If it is, any idea what version # resolved the issue? Last edited by antipasta; 10-01-2017 at 11:49 AM. |

Can you try using this version for me and let me know if it works? https://github.com/szarroug3/X-Ray_C...ugin_3_1_2.zip As for skipping the step and getting an error, that's pretty strange. Can you pm me that book too? |

Oh, my bad... Totally forgot about Kindle DRM... After removing it, the x-ray stopped failing. Really sorry for your wasted time. X-Ray creator fails to generate XRay (i.e. XRay creation is checked in the Preferences) on DRM'd book for obvious reasons, since it's protected by the DRM after all. May be it is possible to add a DRM check before XRay creation, so that the failing error would be more informative? About missing recommendation: They are still empty in the resulted *Actions.data. I debugged plugin a little and found that it fails to get 'book_asin' (goodreads_parser.py:_parse_tooltip_info). My goodreads.com page does not have 'kindlePreviewButtonIcon' class nor does 'asin_data_page' contain any useful info... [EDIT]: Ooookaaaaay. So the 'kindlePreviewButtonIcon' class is the 'Preview' feature which is available only in the US. I'm not in the US, hence there is no button and no obvious way to get an asin... For now the only workaround that I can think of is to somehow force (only) XRay plugin to connect via (US-based) proxy. Last edited by TheQwertiest; 10-03-2017 at 04:16 PM. |
