Cannot sync with anki 2.1.23

[smartlitchi]

anki 2.1.23 being in archlinux' community-testing repo, I tried to upgrade to it from 2.1.15. Everything is fine except I get an error message when opening it to sync with anki-sync-server.

Your client is using unsupported sync protocol (10, supported version: 9)

I saw that anki-sync-server only supports anki up to 2.1.16. Is there a way to get newer versions to be included ?

[mrozigor]

I locally, on my server, changed file ankisyncd/sync_app.py:86 from if v > SYNC_VER: to if v > 10. I didn't check it for now, but it seems to work correctly (with my other changes from PR).

[mrozigor]

I think that it can be serious problem with Anki 2.1.24, due to some changes in database, connected with config. When it will work locally, then I try to update my PR with proper changes on anki-sync-server.

Possible workaround: Use a supported version of Anki for syncing, switch back to the recent version of Anki for everything else.

[smartlitchi]

So I updated anki to v2.1.23 and followed @mrozigor instructions. Everything works now. An error message : AnkiWeb ID or password is incorrect; please try again get triggered each time I sync but it doesn't seem to affect the process.

Actually, I checked and while syncing cards seems to work, it can't sync medias. So the issue is still there.

[mrozigor]

Did you try to apply changes from #60 as well as above change with SYNC_VER?

[mrozigor]

Didn't realize that you make those changes. Did you also add proper entries in addon __init__.py file:

(...)
addr = "http://IP:PORT/"
anki.sync.SYNC_BASE = "%s" + addr
aqt.mediasync.SYNC_BASE = "%s" + addr
(...)

?

[smartlitchi]

That fixed it, thank you !

[mrozigor]

Which commit? Just before major code refactor in Anki? Do you have maybe more info about error?
