Pocketbook HD Plugboard stopped working

Hello,

My metadata plugboard stopped working at the end of September. I hadn't changed any of my settings.


Here are the current settings I'm using:

format: epub
device: POCKETBOOKHD
source template: {#sony_title}
destination field: title

I've also tried this as my source field (it didn't work):
{title} {#pages:|(|)} {#reviewcount:|- | Reviews} {#rating_text:|-|*}{#newstatus:|- |}

Device currently connected: POCKETBOOKHD

This is what I expect to see on my device after I use the "Send to Device" option:

No Holds Barred Anthology (98,124) - 672 Reviews -4*- Completed

This is what I'm seeing instead:
No Holds Barred Anthology

My plugboard settings have worked for years and I'm not sure what could have caused them to stop working. I'd appreciate any and all help in figuring out what I need to update so my settings work.

Thanks,
Amalthia

EDIT: SOLVED - it appears that what you see in the device view when your device is connected doesn't match what actually displays on the device. I got confused because some of the stories in device view looked like what I expected to see on my device and others just had the regular title. In any case, everything is working properly.
