In the last couple of days, the Google Images metadata source plugin has stopped yielding any results. Last know day it worked was Nov 22, 2013. I have tried the most recent version of Calibre (1.12) and the last known good version (1.11) in both Mac OS X 10.8 and 10.9, clean fresh installs of both with no custom settings and no network blocks. When I try to search for book covers with this source plugin here is the log it produces:
Starting cover download for: Knockemstiff
Query: Knockemstiff [u'Donald Ray Pollock'] {u'amazon': u'B0015KGXE6', u'google': u'UTCL2ISbcKMC', u'isbn': u'9780385525404', u'barnesnoble': u'w/knockemstiff-donald-ray-pollock/1100292087', u'goodreads': u'7004672'}

The current cover I am using in my library was downloaded with this same plugin on November 22, but now it isn't finding a single cover.
I'm wondering if Google image search has changed something on the backend that has affected the Calibre plugin. |
