Libby setup codes don't work

[ParsonsGlory]

Neither of the remaining options for generating setup codes works. The code for sonos speakers and the code for android auto generates the error: Could not log in with code.

Any suggestions anyone?

[wtanksleyjr]

Oh no. I can give some more detail - the failure is that one of the Libby steps sends an invalid certificate, which Python's parser rejects. odmpy seems to expect the error and just reports that authentication didn't work, but more is going on than usual. This discussion should be brought under the old thread #69, since it seems to belong to the same category.

[ParsonsGlory]

The invalid certificate error seems to have been fixed ping/libby-calibre-plugin#33. Hopefully this work will be migrated to odmpy,

Edit: Fixed here https://github.com/jordkh/odmpy

FYI, the message posted 2 weeks ago was edited to include a solution - if you were watching this post for a solution you wouldn't see it because edits don't get sent out to watchers, so I'm reposting it.

Any ideas how to get past the first-run of odmpy libby since Libby reversed the setup code flow as mentioned in #78 (comment)?

The code is now given from the device that has to recover the data. In other words, you can no longer get a code from a logged in session of Libby to give to odmpy.

Edit: Using the locally installed fork https://github.com/jordkh/odmpy with the alternative Sonos flow worked as it still has the logged-in session generate a code.

Now running into another error getting a 403 when opening an audiobook URL. But was able to get around that by downloading the ODM file manually from Overdrive web as in #70 (comment) and #69 (comment).

Yes, from where it asks you for the code (instead of showing the code) you just click on either of the two options underneath it (Android Car, or Sonos); either one will give you a code in the old way.

Not working for me using the sonos/android/libby codes. still getting the same error.

[wtanksleyjr]

That's because it's not fixed in this repository, but it has been fixed at https://github.com/jordkh/odmpy .
The command I just ran to install this was python3 -m pip install git+https://git@github.com/jordkh/odmpy --upgrade --force-reinstall .

Yes I installed it from the jordkh repo but it had not installed properly. can now get it to accept the code, and it displays the books, but any attempt to download results in a 403 error. The suggested workarounds of using an ODM file will disappear on the 13 nov when they stop displaying the mp3 option...

[wtanksleyjr]

Yes, they effectively shut Libby down for us a long time ago; the ODM workaround was all we had. You're right that's going away next month. And that's it for us. I'm told that people have gotten mp3 files downloaded from the Libby interface, but this is not a part of programming I've dabbled in, and ping (the original author of odmpy) has been gone for a while.

now that odm files can't be downloaded anymore, does anyone have any working solutions at this point?

[wtanksleyjr]

Not really. Sorry, I wish we had the expertise, but with the author MIA and no other expert at hand there's not much to be done... I'm a programmer, but in this field I'm just flailing about.

I was able to use the forked version at https://github.com/jordkh/odmpy to complete the setup. Then, in order to get past the error downloading, I used the code and instructions for this "bookmarklet" to expose the "Download MP3" link on the Overdrive Loans web page: https://gist.github.com/ping/b58ae66359691db1d08f929a9e57a03d
(I also had to find/install ffmpeg and add it to my Windows PATH.)
Once I had the ODM file, I could run 'odmpy dl "filename.odm"' to get the mp3s.
whew...

[joshcsmith13]

You do have to run "odmpy dl" shortly after downloading the file or you will get an error about an expired odm file.

Amazing, thank you so much!!! I have my audiobooks back... :)

[wtanksleyjr]

Is anyone else getting nothing but errors from odmpy dl again? I can use the script to get odms, but the download seems to be blocked. At least for me. Anyone?
