Error creating library catalog

RSG2 · 12-08-2021, 01:24 AM

I am having the worst luck trying to catalog my library; it worked long (eons) ago, but these days I keep getting the following error:

Generate catalog

The book number will change between runs (I presume this is the number that is attached to the book in the library files, correct?); I am running the latest version of Calibre on Windows 10, with 16 Gigs of RAM available, and approximately 12.5K books to catalog. Does anyone recognize this problem, and have a solution? Thanks in advance.

That's a pretty amazing error, offhand I dont know how its even possible without some kind of extensive memory corruption. First thing to so is

Uninstall, delete C:\\Program Files\\Calibre2
(or wherever you chose to install calibre). Then re-install. And
dont worry, uninstalling will not affect your books/settings.

Done, with no plugins yet. Stopped again, but this time with no actual error message. I'll try it again and report back.

Then attach the metadata.db file from your calibre library folder and I will see if I can reproduce.

413 Request Entity Too Large

That's what I get when I try to attach it here. It is 114,712KB...

open a bug report and attach it there https://calibre-ebook.com/bugs

Yeah there is definitely memory corruption going on with that, though tracking down the cause is going to be difficult given such a large db.

RSG2 · 12-09-2021, 06:08 PM

What do I need to do? What kind of memory corruption is going on?

If you can come up with a smaller data set that causes the issue it would help. Otherwise I will investigate when I have some time. Sadly the catalog code is largely un-maintained as its original developer GRiker left a few years ago.
