web content server cover.jpg error

I can convert, upload ebooks that appear to pass all checks and run all okay in local ebook reader and 3rd party book readers. The 'cover.jpg's are in the correct location outside the epub. I have tried formats png and jpg

When browsing the content server my cover image for any book shows as a broken image in the browser. Server log reports this error:-

Unhandled exception in state: State: _job_done Client: 81.98.188.151:59964 Request: GET /get/thumb/2/Past_Papers?sz=600x800 HTTP/1.1

raise NotImage('Not a valid image (detected type: {})'.format(q))
NotImage: Not a valid image (detected type: None)

Has anyone else seen this issue? The cover.jpg image is not being found or interpreted correctly. If I delete the cover.jpg file, the error persists same

Any help appreciated. Thx

similar error with pdfs in browser

when viewing pdf in browser, a broken image is also appearing as the first page of the book, i think this console error is connected:-

That means your Qt is missing image support.

Talking Help

Kovid, many thanks - I rebuilt from source ensuring compatibility between python, Qt etc. and Calibre seems to be working fine. Thank you

One last niggly annoying issue is that often the online and desktop conversions fail -> HTML and -> PDF or EPUB. 99% of the failures are due to poor input formats which either fail or cause the the conversion process to hang

1. Is there a way to optimise conversions in a less complex method than heuristics (trial & error) ? Or at least, fail earlier and prevent the hanging

2) Is it possible to pre-check artefacts at upload time (to my public content server) to make sure the format is good enough for successful conversions?

Good job. Thx
