Unable to prepare download

[megawubs]

Hi,

I'm trying to download this book: (asin) B0BFTDKG4L. But both from the cli as from the website I get this error:

<Errors>
  <Error>
    <Code>AUDIBLE_KINDLE_DOWNLOAD_ERROR</Code>
    <Message>Preparation of audio file failed : unable to load XML file, Unable to load : /audiblewords/content/bk/grph/004759/aax/bk_grph_004759_aax_lc_44_128_2_y_s4b.fro.</Message>
    <Title>Download Error</Title>
  </Error>
</Errors>

Is this a known problem for some books? Or do I just need to wait until it's fixed by Audible?

Hi,

which command you are running in the cli?

[megawubs]

audible -P [account] download -y --chapter --pdf --cover --cover-size=1215 --quality best --aax-fallback --asin B0BFTDKG4L

Without aax-fallback it just downloads the cover and chapter files

[mkb79]

Can you run:

audible -P [account] api library/B0BFTDKG4L -p "response_groups=contributors, customer_rights, media, price, product_attrs, product_desc, product_extended_attrs, product_plan_details, product_plans, rating, sample, sku, series, reviews, ws4v, origin, relationships, review_attrs, categories, badge_types, category_ladders, claim_code_url, in_wishlist, is_archived, is_downloaded, is_finished, is_playable, is_removable, is_returnable, is_visible, listening_status, order_details, origin_asin, pdf_url, percent_complete, periodicals, provided_review, product_details" -i 4

I need the response for available_codecs, relationships, customer_rights and content_delivery_type please.

I just tested with audible -P [account] download -y --chapter --pdf --cover --cover-size=1215 --quality best --aaxc --asin B0BFTDKG4L

And now it downloads 🤷🏼

[mkb79]

Thank you for this information. It seams the audiobook is not downloadable as aax file. The aax-fallback option does not include this error for a fallback. Maybe I can add this fallback in a future release.

Edit: But in my opinion, you should only use aaxc.

I've updated my script to use aaxc, thanks for looking into this!
