ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980 about calibre-kobo-driver HOT 2 CLOSED

Still seems to have some issues on those files:
calibre, version 0.9.17
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

tuple index out of range

I've updated the no-database branch to use the entire tuple instead of a specific index. It looks like your system isn't giving you back the entire mtime list for some reason. Can you try something and report back the debug error that gets printed?

• Update the plugin in calibre
• Shut down calibre
• Run calibre using calibre-debug -g from the command line
  • On Linux this should "Just Work". On Windows you may need to specify the full path to calibre-debug.exe (either C:\Program Files\calibre2\calibre-debug.exe, C:\Program Files\calibre2\bin\calibre-debug.exe, C:\Program Files (x86)\calibre2\calibre-debug.exe, or C:\Program Files (x86)\calibre2\bin\calibre-debug.exe). On a Mac, you have to install the command line tools first (Preferences->Advanced->Miscellaneous and click install command line tools).
• Wait for calibre to say there are no running jobs
• Try to send the book to your device
• Find the line that says "Container:write:File mtime is before 1980" and paste the entire line here
