Hi all Hoping someone can help. I’ve just updated Anki to 2.1.6. As part of my language studies, I have a lot of dialogues, recorded texts, etc. and I use Anki as a way to schedule reviews to keep the language fresh. The “Front” of the card is the title and audio and the reverse is either blank or …

This is really strange. It’s the same filename but it’s listed as missing and as unused at the same time. Take a look at the collection.media folder (in a new Anki profile with just one card). Do you see pronunciation_fr_tÃªte-Ã -tÃªte.mp3 or pronunciation_fr_tête_à_tête.mp3? https://docs.ankiweb.…

This is unexpected. import locale … print(‘Default:’, locale.getdefaultlocale()) … print(‘Current:’, locale.getlocale()) … locale.setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, ‘en_US.UTF-8’) … print(‘New:’, locale.getlocale()) Default: (None, None) Current: (None, None) New: (‘en_US’, ‘UTF-8’)

Great. Maybe this is something relevant to the issue. Once it’s been changed to UTF-8, try to add a new audio file, i.e.create a new Anki profile, rerun the same code again in the Debug Console to set UTF-8, add a new card, drag-and-drop pronunciation_fr_tête_à_tête.mp3, close the Add window and ru…

That didn’t do it. I started with shift down, changed input to UTF-8, added a profile, created a card, download a new Forvo file and it didn’t work. Same error message in Media. But there is information. When I restart the app, it always says “none” for console input the first time I check. Changi…

Is my Mac doing the corruption on download before I upload the file to Anki? Yes, maybe try a different web browser, but if you add it, Anki should still be able to find the audio file and play it. Try to start Anki this way and run Check Media in a profile that contains one card to see if it ma…

Or maybe this is how Mac saves filenames with accented characters and this is not a problem, OS X uses Unicode NFD (Normalization Form Canonical Decomposition). [hippietrail] Unicode filenames in Windows vs. Mac OS X windows, osx-mavericks, unicode, filenames a…

I downloaded the same file with Chrome, and the file name looks normal with accents, and the audio plays in Anki. It’s odd, as the other French accents work with accents changed in the file name wisen downloaded using Safari. I would like to be able to user Safari for Forvo.

Try to start Anki by opening Terminal.app and setting LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 [image] Crashing Anki Version 2.1.29 (bbff62bf) Anki Desktop You should be able to work around this for now by opening Terminal.app and starting Anki with the following command: LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF…

While it was right of kelciour to think of ruling out normalization, that setting doesn’t actually alter the way media files are handled, so if you have already tried it, I recommend you run it again after changing False to True, as it may cause other problems down the road. I’ve dug into the issue…

Hello, Thanks for taking the time to look at this. I downloaded 2.1.33 and ran check media. I re-named two files and left the rest. I ran check media again and get the following message. Also, I emailed Forvo and copy/pasted your message. Regards, James Trash folder: ⁨⁨4861⁩ files, ⁨41.77⁩MB⁩ M…
