ERROR when click 'check media'

Hi all,

I’m getting the below error when I click check media. Never experienced this before. I did check database but I’m still getting the error. I also tried check media with addons disabled using shift but that didnt work too. Could someone help me please?

I reckon you’re stuck on 2.1.22 because your workflow depends on an add-on that isn’t getting updates? Otherwise I’d recommend installing the latest Anki version (2.1.54).
