Error During Conversion For All CBZ Files | Mac OS

Adding CBZ file > EPUB > Convert: "Error during conversion!" but no specific reason as to why

Toggled on for Kindle PW 11 + Manga Mode, All Files are under 500 MB. First time using the converter so any fixes?

I was having the same problem on Windows, I fixed it by adding 7z to my PATH. I don't know if this applies for es Mac Os version

What is the path could you please tell me?

[Sojiroh]

@sparkirat Google "add 7z to path [Windows/mac]" depending on your OS. @chenobies can you provide a screenshot of KCC when you first open it?

I have the same problem on mac, when i first open it it doesn't give me any warning (unlike windows that warns me that7z is missing)

And this is after I try to convert a file to epub

@Sojiroh can you try with latest version of kcc? 5.6.2 or if you feel brave running from source?

I tried 5.6.2 and it gives the same error. I tried the version posted on the "How to build M1" guide and it works perfectly

So maybe it's a arm compatibility issue?
Anyways i'm trying to build from source using those steps and will let you know if it works

Are you able to run the python version straight from the repo to see if it generates an error? Otherwise, can you tell me the file structure of the cbz? Is it just images in the cbz or are their also folders or both? It will fail if their are mixed images and folders on the same folder level. It will also fail of another program was recently using the cbz.

How do I run the python version straight from the repo? there are many python files and also I don't know how to manually install it other than running the dmg appplication

I saw this guide it seems confusing I'm not sure how to use it

Can you test with extracting the file first using Unarchiver? Then use KCC with the extracted image folder?

Looks like Mac has trouble with RAR/CBR files

#553 fixes the unhelpful error message of none

Don't forget to

brew install p7zip

Hi,

I have the same issue on a M1 Mac, with 5.6.2.
I've tried with KCC installed via DMG or with Homebrew.
I did brew install p7zip and have it in my path.

I tried to unzip/re-zip the cbz just to check if the file was the issue but no luck.
When processing the extracted image, I end up with the correct epub.
Extracting the cbz directly with 7z in the terminal works without issue.

Thank you!

@maxthiel Can you try the dmg file provided in #565

7z is in a different location on Apple Silicon vs normal Macs. But you probably didn't see that error message since errors are bugged in the release from 3 months ago.

Here's the install from source guide: https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/wiki/Installation#install-from-sources

[maxthiel]

Thank you @axu2
I'm now getting an "Unsupported archive format" error.

[axu2]

What happens when you run the exact command that KCC runs:

~~7z l -y -p1 "/Users/YOU/Downloads/manga.cbz"~~

Actually, try this: https://github.com/axu2/kcc/actions/runs/5708295759

It looks like the pre-included versions of 7z are being used and they are buggy on AS

[maxthiel]

Thanks for digging into this.

The 7zip command lists the files in the archive properly:

mt@computer Mangas % 7z l -y -p1 "manga.cbz"

I get the same error with the version you've just posted.

[axu2]

OK, missed something, this one fixes it for sure: https://github.com/axu2/kcc/actions/runs/5709825357

I've removed the pre-included 7z binaries entirely so KCC will only look for homebrew installed 7z.

@maxthiel

I'll say that building from source is way faster running, GitHub is Rosetta only. But you'll need to merge in the apple silicon PR too

[maxthiel]

Thanks @axu2, this last version works!

• I got the "KCC request access to your files" popup
• The conversion worked as intended
