Calibre Plugin - PsychicAsh - 2024-07-12

I made a calibre plugin. Hopefully works for other people.

Github: https://github.com/AshleyDeo/jellyfin-plugin-calibre
Repo Link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AshleyDeo/jellyfin-plugin-calibre/main/manifest.json

Features:
  • Adds all authors for multi-author books
  • Adds Google Books provider id
  • Adds metadata from Calibre custom columns 
How to use
  1. Add user custom columns seperated by semicolon ; (Example: myColumn01;myColumn02;myColumn03)
  2. Save plugin configuration
  3. The library must be refreshed
Rules
  • DO NOT use columns with code in template. It breaks the plugin.
  • Only add user custom columns
  • default only works for Genres, Tags, and Community Rating. It uses the original Bookshelf settings to get the metadata.
  • Ratings only take 1 value

Interesting, but not clear. I installed the jf plugin. How should calibre communicate with jf to transfer metadata?

The plugin reads the metadata.opf file that calibre stores for backup. This works only if you added the folder/library calibre is managing to jellyfin
