obok plugin for calibre not working

[aashcher]

Hi,

Here is the error:
No userkeys found to decrypt books with. No point in proceeding.

Tried with both Calibre 4.x and 5.x. Used the Obok plugin from the master branch (Calibre indicates version 6.7.0)
I've installed the Kobo application through the website, logged in, and I am able to read the book which I am trying to convert. The book file is seen in the Kobo kepub folder.

Here is the log file for Calibre debug mode:

Is there any way to process the book?

I've seen people having issues with Obok quite a bit lately. Just checked and it is still working for me. I'm guessing the problem is here:

Error parsing Kobo plist: no legacy user key found.
Trouble retrieving keys with newer obok method.

Maybe I have a "legacy user key" so Obok doesn't have to worry about the new method. I don't know.

A workaround would be downloading the Adobe DRM version from Kobo's website and using DeDRM instead. You'd need Adobe Digital Editions 2.0.1 authorized with an Adobe ID on the same machine and user as calibre with DeDRM. Open the ACSM file you get from Kobo in ADE. Then add the downloaded EPUB to calibre. Adobe EPUBs are working with both calibre 4.23/DeDRM 6.8.1 and calibre 5.x/DeDRM 7.0.3.

I've used the same Adobe ID since the Sony days. Did you also delete the activation.dat file? See this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/activation-errors-adobe-digital-editions.html

Yes, I also removed the activation.dat file.

Hmm...Googling that error turns up some ideas. But it seems not everyone can get it working.

After messing around with it a little while, I decided to go ahead and try to patch the plug-in manually with the code from #1586 - after that patch, it's working fine.

Thanks for reporting back!

Never had to do that on Windows 10 myself.
