Let me start this is a variant of #257 except I am actually receiving no selection of papers. This can be seen on the image below where I entered the name of the highlighted paper and only get the spinning circle. I will add that I have over 17,000 papers and use Zotero as the library for all my PDFs, no matter the type or source.

I tried updating the Zotero and Obsidian plugins and also downgraded the Better Bibtex to V6.7.96 but neither worked.

I have also tried doing an library export to Better BibTex BIB and also the Zotero RDF into the same folder as the plugin but no joy there either.

I would like to see if there is an issue with the size of my library which may be choking the search? Or do I need to make some changes to settings or export types? I recently added to my library after changing my jobs and cleaning up all my random files and before this big addition everything worked well, hence the question on a library size.

I solved the issue. I was using a Synology NAS to store the files on, though I was treating the NAS as an external hard drive and not something that multiple computers would access. Anyway, the NAS powers down at times and therefore the link to the drive is broken and somehow affects the Zotero to Obsidian link.

I sucked it up and move all the files back onto my computer and everything works.
