For some books only, the metadata (cover and description) do not show up

6 months ago • updated 6 months ago • 3

Hi,

I use Calibre (the latest version) to create my library. I download covers and description and embed them in the book files. Then I start a new scan in Ubooquity. For most of the books, it works just fine. But in some rare cases, whatever I do, it doesn't show neither the cover nor the description in Ubooquity. Could you please help me figure out why ?

If those books are epub I would open them in Sigil and see if there is some corruption preventing them from loading properly. I use that application to change covers and descriptions for my collection. When you open a file it tells you if there are errors and where they are, and can autofix some errors.

Thanks Matthew

You were right

Opening the epub in Sigil showed some errors that Sigil corrected

I just needed to save the epub, launch a scan and it worked !!

Many thanks
