Thank you for replying so quickly. It might be that the updated Nanopore software writes VBZ-compressed fast5 files now. I'll look into the VBZ decompression plugin, although the nanopolish command...

Sorry I hadn't realised that Nanopolish also reads the fast5 files when weren't given in the command-line parameters. You're right, that VBZ-compression of the fast5 files is the cause. I...

Perhaps on the [Nanopolish README.md](https://github.com/jts/nanopolish#installing-the-latest-code-from-github-recommended), in the "Installing the latest code from github (recommended)" section, it might be worth adding a note about fast5 files being VBZ-compressed since the recent...

Yes, if nanopolish release 0.14 could automatically install the hdf5plugin with nanopolish that would be good. In conda, currently when I install nanopolish, in a new environment, using: `conda install...
