ISBNDB Access key Error

Jules_09 · 01-06-2011, 06:18 AM

I just updated to 0.7.37. When ever I try to download metadata, Calibre failed with Access Key Error. The key used to work fine in version 0.7.35.

The issue is that the metadata screen is closed as soon as I click the error pop-up window and cant change the key. I tried to change the accesscode in the global.py isbndb_com_key = '', but no luck.

Any idea?

Thanks.

EDIT: Never mind, the key daily access usage has been exceeded (30). However, it still be good if you can access the metadata screen even if there is an error.

It won't help you now but access to that code in calibre can be found under Preferences - Plugins - Metadata download plugin - customize the isbnDB plugin.

Agreed, although if needed you can manually disable any plugin that is giving you an error.

the screen only closes automatically if less than two matches were found, so just do a fetch metadata for a popular book like Harry Potter or a Jane Austen or something.
