Can't convert mobi to epub and send to ereader

[oreosteedwagon]

Describe the bug/problem I can't convert from mobi to epub and send to ereader. Converting manually via editing metadata works OK, but attempting via the individual book panel doesn't work at all, and doesn't appear to convert the book.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click on book
2. Click on 'convert mobi to epub and send to ereader
3. 'Receive error message: ERROR {cps.helper:80} convert_book_format: epub format not found for book id: XXXXX

Expected behavior Convert the mobi to epub and email to my selected ereader.

Environment

• OS: Unraid
• Calibre-Web version: 0.6.19
• Docker container: Unraid
• Browser: Firefox

calibre-web.log

Sorry for the late reply. From the log I can see that Calibre-web opens the file in "/books/A. N. Roquelaure; Anne Rice/Beauty's Release (14290)/Beauty's Release - A. N. Roquelaure; Anne Rice.mobi" and saves it to "/books/A. N. Roquelaure; Anne Rice/Beauty's Release (14290)/Beauty's Release - A. N. Roquelaure; Anne Rice.epub" afterwards it's not able to find the book again. Could you please check if the new epub file is there and correctly named and the read and write permissions are sufficient

[ozzinse]

I have this same error. All permissions are ok

[OzzieIsaacs]

Could you please perform a library check from within calibre desktop app?

[ozzinse]

How i can do it ? Connect DB to local app ?

[OzzieIsaacs]

Yes, connect it to calibre desktop app, stop (or don‘t use) calibre-web. In calibre there is button library maintenance in the library section. There should be some item like check library

[ozzinse]

[OzzieIsaacs]

@ozzinse : Yeah, this is what you want. So click yes, it takes some minutes and should present you a list of files not in the database but on the disk and vice versa

[ozzinse]

[ozzinse]

ok but this convert error is on every book

[OzzieIsaacs]

@ozzinse I can't remember the exact outcome of this screen, so if you click on the arrows, on the left side are there books shown, or is it saying everything is fine?

[ozzinse]

There are 5/6 book with error

[OzzieIsaacs]

@ozzinse Are the 5 books those, where the conversion failed? Are you also using a docker container, also the unraid one? Where is the library located? On the same harddrive as calibre-web, or is it a mounted share from somewhere elese (e.g. SMB/Samba)?

[ozzinse]

Conversion not work on any book. I have docker installation with Mount folder

[OzzieIsaacs]

If checked it with my installation version 0.6.19, moved the library to same folder name as you, renamed a book to the same author/title as yours:

I can't reproduce it. My only guess is that it has something to do with the docker container ( I don't provide the container, and I don't feel myself forced into checking it). So if there are no new information I can't help you any further
