audio books not downloading #70
Comments
You can't use --direct anymore |
It looks like this library no longer works as of today. They have changed their auth scheme. |
Looks like they're systematically engineering all these download tools out of existence. First the Chrome extension (Libby Audiobook Exporter), then the Firefox extension (Libby Download), now odmpy. Only thing that still works (that I can find) is inspecting pages in developer mode. |
apparently you can still use overdrive https://www.reddit.com/r/audiobooks/comments/13gt1fb/download_and_transfer_libby_audiobooks_through/ |
Recommend we continue writing this up on the earlier bug report, and close this one. |
|
Additionally when I look at the .odm file...
|
Highly recommend we close this, there are useful instructions for limited workarounds in #69 . For example, you can manually download an ODM file and then use odmpy to get the book. |
just to chime in here with a brief summary of the status of things as of 4/25/2024: -In the last few days OverDrive has made changes to the Libby app & infrastructure that explicitly break ALL third party downloading. |
This is not fully accurate. The Overdrive web pages still exist and you can download the .odm directly as well as through the app itself which still operates but is no longer supported and the app download is not published publicly but there is links above to get the .msi installer file. |
By jove, you're right! I actually did NOT know about the overdrive.com subdomain thing. Many thanks :) For example, my main library interface (that they tell me to use) is wccls.bibliocommons.com. In my use case, I then fed the ODM to a Windows command line utility, Mbucari/OverdriveDownloader, which happily did get all the audio & metadata as expected. It would seem the next big source of problems will be whenever Overdrive decides to shut that all down. Hopefully not soon! |
The odm files you can download this way still work with odmpy DL file.odm |
The OverDrive ODM download being 'complicated' or Overdrive hiding the library pages is currently (04/27/2024) overblown. They aren't hiding anything. Go to https://www.overdrive.com, in the top right hand corner, there is 'Find Library'; then type in the zip. Then login with your library credentials. I use Firefox...... and Linux. So I needed to add an extension 'User-agent switcher' so switch to Firefox to masquerade as Windows. Then, on your Library's overdrive page, click on my account (top right), then go to loans. Under the big 'Listen now in browser' button, there is a link a few lines down for 'Have OverDrive for Mac/Windows?' Click on that; a download MP3 audiobook pops up. That is the link to the real/fullsize odm file. |
Overblown? Maybe a bit but this process is what we were doing before odmpy.
It's just so darn convenient!

That is what I was missing. Thank you. |
Have you run odmpy before? If you haven't you need to get it set up, so
I'll assume you have.
Just run `odmpy dl <odmfilename>`. It'll create a folder with all of the
audio files and so on. I also like to use the `-k` option, since otherwise
audiobookshelf has problems with the thumbnail.

Sorry, I don't follow. With the ODM file downloaded from the overdrive.com
site, how do I now use odmpy to download the audiobook?

I was able to download audiobooks using this PR Example Dockerfile to use the new branch

Thank you, that's incredible, PLEASE post that to #69 which is supposed to contain the useful information for dealing with this. That's AWESOME. |
This branch appears to have the same issue as the existing version. The odm files have an

They changed something again and it now doesn't work |
FYI, I've been using an older version without issues. Here's my process: logon to overdrive.com
all good. |
Any version of odmpy should work when you start with an ODM file, I'm using the most recent version. It's only the libby functionality that's dying. |
Any updates on this ? |
Just to be clear, all of this is completely broken now; they've ACTUALLY shut down the ODM downloads (not just the rumors you see above), and as other people mentioned above, have changed the Libby login process enough that we haven't been able to figure it out. Please watch issue #69 for more details, but please don't hold your breath. If the person who opened this issue would close it, it would be less confusing. |
sure. watch #69 for updates. |
