Obok plugin in Calibre can't find Kobo library

GoblinGuide commented 6 months ago

Question / bug report

I think the title's pretty self-explanatory, really. Added the plugin to Calibre v7.7, have books downloaded locally in Kobo Desktop Edition 4.37.19051:

but when I click the "Obok DeDRM" button I get this error box with text "Could not find Kobo Library":

There does not seem to be any way to "point it" to the library, not that I'd assume I'd need to since I assume this is a configuration error on my end - any help would be appreciated! Useless log attached, for what it's worth.

Which version of Calibre are you running?

7.7

Which version of the DeDRM plugin are you running?

10.0.3

If applicable, which version of the Kindle software are you running?

No response

I haven't had this happen. But when I've had other issues, I've found closing Kobo Desktop before using Obok helped.

I didn't have it open at the time. I could try opening it and then trying Obok...

Trip report: that produced no change. Same error whether I have both Caliber and Kobo open or just Caliber.

Try updating to Obok 10.0.9: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.9

I really have no idea. Assume Kobo Desktop and calibre are installed under the same Windows user, yes? I can see from your earlier screen shot that your Kobo library is located in the same default location where mine is. I don't know what could be preventing Obok from finding it.

A couple workarounds: If you have a Kobo reader, maybe Obok would see that. Or you could download the Adobe DRM versions via Adobe Digital Editions and use regular DeDRM.
