Obok plugin in Calibre can't find Kobo library

[ElleKayEm]

I haven't had this happen. But when I've had other issues, I've found closing Kobo Desktop before using Obok helped.

I didn't have it open at the time. I could try opening it and then trying Obok...

Trip report: that produced no change. Same error whether I have both Caliber and Kobo open or just Caliber.

Try updating to Obok 10.0.9: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.9

Same error.

Same log, ish, too:

I really have no idea. Assume Kobo Desktop and calibre are installed under the same Windows user, yes? I can see from your earlier screen shot that your Kobo library is located in the same default location where mine is. I don't know what could be preventing Obok from finding it.

A couple workarounds: If you have a Kobo reader, maybe Obok would see that. Or you could download the Adobe DRM versions via Adobe Digital Editions and use regular DeDRM.
