To Reproduce
odmpy libby

Version/Environment
odmpy 0.8.1 [Python 3.12.3-darwin]

[wtanksleyjr]

This is a new problem, but there's a simple fix: Run `odmpy libby --reset` to clear the Libby registration, and then use the Libby webapp or the phone app to generate a code, and run `odmpy libby` and enter that code. It'll be back up again.

The reset did not work for me. After reset and reentering the code, downloading got the following error.
python3.9/site-packages/odmpy/processing/odm.py", line 135, in process_odm raise ValueError("Unable to find Metadata in ODM") ValueError: Unable to find Metadata in ODM

The ODM file's content shows the error.

Just to be clear, are you saying you see this when trying to download a book? So you run `odmpy libby` and see your checked out books in the list with a choice of what to do, but when you select one to download it errors out as above?

That's correct. I run odmpy libby and see my checked out books in the list. When I tried to download any of them, I got the error. The generated .odm file contained the above error. I have tried forceful reinstall too.

[wtanksleyjr]

Whew! Sorry about that. I'll have to step back and hope one of the experts can look at this, @ping maybe.

[jahlborn]

see #70

[wtanksleyjr]

OK, I have to confirm this - I'm now getting the same result. I kind of doubt they're attacking odmpy specifically, since they could do that just by sending GitHub a takedown notice; but for now it's the same effect.

[wtanksleyjr]

If you're in a situation where you're about to have a book expire while waiting for this, please note that the existing overdrive app for Windows should still work (if you're in a position to run it, of course). You'll have to download it from their site (paste this link into your browser press enter and then approve the security warning, don't try to click it or it'll just close the tab due to being an MSI file): http://app.overdrive.com/downloads/ODMediaConsoleSetup.msi; this is their official version so it's as safe as it was back when it was released. Go to your library's Overdrive site (usually something like lapl.overdrive.com). Sign in with your library card and last 4 digits of your phone number (or last 5 digits, or whatever). From there you should be able to get a download file, and that app can open it and use it to get the usual mp3 files. Not as nice as what we've become used to, but that's life!

If you need more metadata, you can download some nice JSON from an URL of the form https://thunder.api.overdrive.com/v2/media/9722081 (I picked a random libby identifier there). It'll work even if you don't have the book checked out, so long as you have the book ID. Use odmpy libby --exportloans loans.json to find the book ID of the books you currently have checked out.

[leomem]

The overdrive windows program works. Thanks a lot.
Not sure how to use the JSON metadata yet.

This is The error I am getting on both my Mac and windows laptop reset is not fixing it
The error will come after something similar to

So, this is cool, thank you. But also worth noting, you don't even need the desktop app. Just download the odm file from the overdrive site as you described, then you can use that odm file with odmpy directly. For example, if you want the benefits of merging with chapter metadata that odmpy does so nicely, you can run something like this:

odmpy dl "title.odm" -m --mergeformat m4b --mergecodec aac

... where title.odm is what you downloaded from the overdrive site.

Is this something that can even be fixed? The browser extensions stopped working about 48 hours prior to this stopping, so it seems like one by one these tools are being targeted specifically. Honestly I’d love if this just happens to be a back end change that needs a tweak but I’d fully understand any and all contributors not wanting to engage in a cat and mouse endless game of “fix the authentication”

If it can’t be fixed I’ll greatly miss the ability to play library audiobooks on the unsupported kids-boxy- speaker-things we have, it’s genuinely reignited my their love of stories. Thanks @ping for everything you did, in advance.

[mitrian7]

Is this something that can even be fixed?

While I do hope there's a solution, I think even if it can't be fixed, the workaround (see the post above) is mostly painless, it just adds the extra step of downloading the .odm manually from OverDrive. You can still get all the power and benefits of odmpy here.

i certainly hope there is a solution as well. the workaround is manual, and the power of this library is that i can automate the process.

maybe this library could be patched to grab the odm files from the overdrive website...

[jahlborn]

in theory, this should be fixable. if the libby app and the libby webpage can load the data, then it should be possible to determine what api calls they are making and reproduce them. granted, they can use a ton of obfuscation to make that difficult...
