Local Audio Server

[penguinbrew]

Would it be possible to playback sound from a local audio server like this one for yomichan:
https://github.com/Aquafina-water-bottle/jmdict-english-yomichan/tree/master/local_audio
And if so, how?

It should work. Just follow the instructions as normal, except use this URL instead of the one provided under Options → Audio Sources. Make sure you choose JSON and not File for the type.

http://localhost:5050/?sources=jpod,jpod_alternate,nhk16&term={expression}&reading={reading}

Thank you :)
It seems to work when creating cards anki, but i can't get the sound to play in memento when clicking the sound icon in the dictionary. Any idea why that could be?

[ripose-jp]

I need more information. Does the no audio icon get shown when you click it?

[penguinbrew]

I just click the sound icon, and then it goes gray for a moment, and then turns back to the original look, but i can't click it again.

I've verified the behavior you were referring to and have determined it's because the plugin you're using doesn't send the content-length HTTP header with audio files. You'll have to ask the creator of the plugin to fix it.

All he has to do is add this line

self.send_header('Content-length', str(len(os.stat(audio_file).st_size)))

To the get_jpod_audio, get_jpod_alternative_audio, and get_nhk16_audio methods.

I'm closing this since I've found the cause of the issue and there's been no activity in a week.

I encountered the same issue and resolved it by modifying /Local Audio Server/server.py.
The main changes were adding import os and appending the following line after self.send_header("Content-type", mime_type):
self.send_header('Content-length', str(os.stat(audio_file).st_size)) # no len()

The plugin works great, thank you very much.
