I'm going to have to wait until I finish this book before I can experiment.

Sounds the same - see https://resources.overdrive.com/libr...res/lucky-day/

Also when I go to libbyapp.com and search for 'Skip the line' internally it is performing an api request with the parameters

showOnlyLuckyDayAvailable=true&excludeNormallyAvailable=true

It only shows six results but the borrow button is enabled for all of them if I search for them in the plugin.

I just installed the plugin with calibre 8.5 on windows 11. When I try to open the prefs to configure the plugin (from either prefs->advanced->plugins->customize or from the menu item->customize), calibre just hangs, and i have to force quit it and restart.

I can't think of anything that could cause a hang, so the most likely case is that Windows has decided to display the window off-screen.

If you try it again and then hold down the Windows key and press the arrow keys to see if it becomes visible. Or try holding both Ctrl and Windows keys and press the left and right arrows keys a couple of times.

Failing that there are a couple of other methods detailed here.
