Ebook-convert producing different recipe results

duluoz · 02-08-2019, 09:53 PM

Hi,

When using the Calibre desktop app to download the subscription version of The Wall Street Journal, with username and password, it pulls all the stories perfectly.

When using ebook-convert to do the same thing, it doesn't manage to pull the subscription version, just the free one, so you get only half the story and a link telling you to log in.

Command I am using is:

Code:

ebook-convert "The Wall Street Journal".recipe wsj.mobi --username USER --password PASS

Happy to share login details over PM

Thanks
Jamie

That's because they both have the same title, so you cant use that to fetch them, instead specify the path to the recipe file. Or do this:

Code:

CALIBRE_RECIPE_URN=builtin:wsj_free ebook-convert "The Wall Street Journal".recipe wsj.mobi --username USER --password PASS

Got it thanks, that helps. I think the two recipes used to have different names before...
