[Metadata Source Plugin] LubimyCzytac [PL] UPDATED

[BeckyEbook]

LubimyCzytac - Version 2.2.11 (2022.01.09)

LubimyCzytac is a Polish website similar to Goodreads. Although the plugin interface is also available in English, the website is only in Polish. For that reason, this plugin will be of most use for Polish readers.

This plugin uses LubimyCzytac.pl as a metadata source.

The original author's description:

Spoiler:

It was based on the Barnes & Noble plugin.

It is made generally for searching polish books. Actually it is useless otherwise - lubimyczytac.pl has polish books only in its database.
I've written this, because non-polish sites do not support searching without diaktrics (means: ‘ą’, ‘ę’, ‘ł’ and all that stuff). On the other hand - title and author parsed from filename usually lacks polish diaktrics. As an effect you must manually complete it before searching for metadata.

Using this plugin you can find for example:
Search for: title(Zolw i zajac)
Found: title(Żółw i zając)

From 2015, the plugin has been maintained by @BeckyEbook.

Main Features:

1. Deals with polish diacritics.
2. Search based on the title.
3. Retrives:
   • isbn (optional)
   • authors
   • title
   • publisher & publish date
   • series & series number
   • rating (a scale of 1-10 converted to 5 stars)
   • tags (genre or keywords)
   • comments (description)
   • language
   • number of pages (optionally adds to comment)
   • original title (optionally adds to comment)
   • translator(s) (optionally adds to comment)
   • book series (optionally adds to comment)
   • genre (optionally adds to comment)
   • keywords (optionally adds to comment)
   • information of existing the other editions (optionally adds to comment)
   • rating (in numerical form, optionally adds to comment)
   • number of ratings (in numerical form, optionally adds to comment)
   • titles of the other editions (optionally adds to comment)
   • date of the first edition of the book (optionally adds to comment)
   • date of the first edition of the book in Poland (optionally adds to comment)
   • cover
4. Also retrieves a Lubimyczytac id (the identifier used is "lubimyczytac"), which can be used to directly jump to the page on Lubimyczytac.pl website for a specific book from the book details pane.
5. This plugin works with METAmover plugin (look at post #2).
6. Translation: English, Polish. Ready for others.

It looks that the plugin does not work any more. There are no search results from LubimyCzytac when you edit metadata in Calibre. It neither shows book descriptions nor covers.

I suspect that the problem is not related to the plugin, but probably it is an issue described in this thread.
