Less cool, but functional comicvine plugin for Calibre

Comicvine

A calibre metadata source plugin for comicvine.com

Note: This is essentially a long forgotten fork of another comicvine plugin, but I could never get it to work for me. Removed the deps on pycomicvine and simplified the API interaction. No way near perfect or cool - this just works for me.

Install

On a Unix system this can be done using:

$ zip Comicvine -@ < MANIFEST
$ calibre-customize -a Comicvine.zip

The single command calibre-customize -b . from within the source directory will also work, but will include many unnecessary files.

Usage

Allows you to search comicvine for metadata for your comics and graphic novels stored in Calibre.

You will need an API Key to use this source

Get one at (http://www.comicvine.com/api/)

Once configured you can use this plugin from the GUI (download metadata) or from the fetch-ebook-metadata command.

Both of these methods will try all active metadata sources, and only return the most preferred result.

Only searches the Title.

You can test the comicvine plugin by calling:

calibre-debug -e __init__.py
