Find a book in calibre catalog
This has probably been answered before, but I just can't find anything useful after several days of searching.
I am trying to use the "Find a book in calibre catalog" search option in the File Browser. No matter what I search for I get the response window "No match for (whatever I searched for). If I try to browse series I get the same response. (No match for . ) I have tried using the "Find a book in calibre catalog" while in the directory I set as the home directory, which is the directory with my books, as well as other directories. All books are side-loaded using Calibre. The metadata.calibre file is in the same directory as the side-loaded books. I can see it using Windows Explorer but cannot see it in Koreader's File Browser. Am I doing something wrong? By the way this is Koreader running on a Pocketbook Touch HD. |

Have you set this, in /koreader/defaults.lua, to where your metadata.calibre file is located?
-- Set a path to a folder that is filled by Calibre (must contain the file metadata.calibre) -- e.g. -- "/mnt/sd/.hidden" for Kobo with files in ".hidden" on the SD card -- "/mnt/onboard/MyPath" for Kobo with files in "MyPath" on the device itself -- "/mnt/us/documents/" for Kindle files in folder "documents" SEARCH_LIBRARY_PATH = "/mnt/onboard" SEARCH_LIBRARY_PATH2 = "" This is from a Kobo install, there should be something similar for the Pocketbook version.

Well you might try a display mode option that uses metadata and/or you can "Append series metadata to authors" or title (options under "Other settings >")

Does "Find a file" work ?
how did you get the metadata.calibre on your pocketbook ? by draging and droping a exported folder with books from calibre->pc folder on your reader or by connecting directly calibre on a directory inside your reader and send the books there with calibre ? (the first option doesn't work for me on kobo, the second one works with no pb) Last edited by cramoisi; 02-28-2018 at 02:32 AM. |

This won't help but I can advise that I have never been able to get Calibre Catalog integration to work on my Pocketbook HD.

"Find a file" works great when searching for either a title or an author, but not for series. (For me, anyways)

I send the books, via Calibre, to an SD card in the Pocketbook's external memory slot. I have too many books in the library to fit in the internal memory, if that is what you mean.

I told you that because the content of my calibre.metadata on the reader is different of the one on my hd, but I don't know why.
Do you have a .adds/koreader/temp/metatada.koreader file ? Last edited by cramoisi; 03-05-2018 at 05:17 AM. |
