The simplest option for removing DRM: Calibre Plugins

Re: The simplest option for removing DRM: Calibre Plugins

 

Hello,

I just wanted to install the plugin DeDRM_WinApp_2.5.zip on calibre, version 0.8.13 but got the following error:


ERROR: Nicht abgefangener Fehler: <b>InvalidPlugin</b>:The plugin in u'D:/22_epub-ebooks/Gratisb\xfccher/tools_v4.5/tools_v4.5/DeDRM_for_Mac_and_Win/DeDRM_WinApp_2.5.zip' is invalid. It does not contain a top-level __init__.py file

Can someone assist in finding out what's wrong?

Something must have changed - now cannot convert azw file into calibre using plugins - worked 4 weeks ago? Using Tools 4.6 and Calibre 8.5 under macos 10 .6

Have you updated your Kindle for Mac just before the DRM removal plugin stopped working? What version do you have now?

Any idea?

Hi,

Yes, you are incorrectly trying to add things that are not plugins to Calibre. The tools are a collection of many different tools not just the plugins. Simply unzip the tools_v4.6.zip and then open the Calibre_Plugins folder that you find inside of that unzipped tools folder. You will see the calibre plugins (.zip) inside of the Calibre_Plugins. This is explained by the ReadMe.txt file found in the tools zip archive as well as on the original apprenticealf.wordpress.com in the blog in great detail.

I've read all the readmes ... I swear!

I get this when trying to install the plugin:

calibre, version 0.7.49
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>InvalidPlugin</b>:No valid plugin found in C:/Documents and Settings/xxxxx/My Documents/Downloads/tools_v4.7/Calibre_Plugins/K4MobiDeDRM_v03.7_plugin.zip

What am I missing? Thanks!

Unpack the plug-in from the archive and try again. If your name uses characters other than roman, try to unpack to some folder with a simple name like C:\undrm\

Hi there,

Thanks for the information. Everytime I tried to import the plug-in, this error msg always pop out. I am using windows 7.

calibre, version 0.8.24
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>InvalidPlugin</b>:The plugin in u'F:/DeDRM 1.2.zip' is invalid. It does not contain a top-level __init__.py file

Can you please help me with that? Thanks a lot.

The plug-in format used by calibre changed. Update calibre to the latest version and all should be well.
