Failed Metadata download causes Calibre quite unexpectedly message

shaun0 · 03-05-2016, 04:19 PM

Hello all,

I am having a issue when Calibre fails to download metadata, I receive a error message stating "Calibre quite unexpectedly." I hit the ignore button and the application continues to operate normally. It is not huge problem, more of an annoyance, as Calibre is still open and functioning.

I am running Mac OSX 10.10.5 and using Calibre 2.5.2

This has happened on several lower versions of Calibre as well, which indicates that it might be a system problem on my part, but wanted to check and see what people's thoughts were. Thanks!

I'm guessing the crash is happening in the calibre worker process not the calibre main process, which is why you can continue using calibre. You might be able to get some information on why it is crashing by looking at the Apple crash report.
