PLUGBOARD TEMPLATE ERROR
Hello,
I am using Calibre 7.6 ti import a number of epub on my Elipsa, 1st series. I am getting lots of "PLUGBOARD TEMPLATE ERROR VALUE: UNKNOWN FIELD SERIES_INDEX:0>25 || -" on my ereader. I am not familiar with this error, I saw thet I have Kobo Utilities 2.16.13 which should help to update the metadata, but it seems I do not know how to use it properly. Can somebody point me to the right place where I could find some help ? Thank you Bruno |

First thought: the message shows SERIES_INDEX. It should be lower_case. Also there shouldn't be a space after the 25.
It would help if you post the actual plugboard template. |

I am new to this, never "consciously" used the plugboard, just saw the KoboUtilities plugin. The capitals is how the message is shown on the Elipsa. Bruno P.S. I found something in the metadata plugboard, is that it ? epub:KOBOTOUCH = ([{series_index;0>2s|| - }{title}] -> title) Last edited by brudigia; 03-04-2024 at 01:39 AM. |

Looking at the code, it seems like the template used for the subtitle is the problem. What do you have in the Kobo driver in the "subtitle" box on the "Metadata, on device and advanced" tab?

I'd say it is empty, as per default, I suppose |

I am out of ideas. The best thing to do now is to run calibre in debug mode, do whatever it is you do to make the error appear, then post the debug log.
To get a debug log, do

Could you take a look at the Subtitle box on the second page of the MDE for the book(s) and see what is in there?

I deleted on the Elipsa one of the books which had the plugboard problem and reloaded it through Calibre. Title is The Rats, the Bats, and the Ugly, by Dave Freer. Then I uploaded 3 other books which had the problems, still were present in the Elipsa but did not show up in Calibre as being in the Elipsa. They still have the plugboard problem. Enclosed log |

Thanks for the log. That helped me find the problem. It was actually staring me in the face from some time back.

The plugboard has 3 parts
Who What Where Who is any/specific Kobo AND what format this applies to (you can have different rules based upon format) What is the data that I wish to insert/adjust Where is where your manipulations end up (Sorry for the image, I only need a plugboard when I use a Kindle. I just use Kobo natural series support) |

epub:KOBOTOUCH = ([{series_index;0>2s|| - }{title}] -> title) and replace the semi-colon in index;0>2s with a : so the result would be index:0>2s. |

PLUGBOARD TEMPLATE ERROR - It works!
Thank you all for the time spent in helping me. It works now, I do not know how I got into this problem, solving it was a great relief.
Thank you again Bruno |

I'd suspect a simple typo and since the semi-colon looks a lot like a colon unless you look at it closely not that easy to spot.
