JapanesePod101 audio takes a long time to properly load and makes it so that Yomichan can't make anki cards until it's done. #2182

I apologize if this isn't the right place to be asking about this. I have been using yomichan for over a year with no problems but recently I've had problems with the JapanesePod101 audio source. When I try to look up a word It will take a very long time(somtimes upwards of a minute) to load the JapanesePod101 audio when it used to just take a few seconds at most and it's not possible to yomichan to create anki cards until it's done.

This means I can't create a lot of cards at one time which I often do since I have to wait a significant chunk of time in between making cards.

I've tried using both JapanesePod101 with JapanesePod101(Alternative) and just JapanesePod101(Alternative) and the same issue remains. If I don't use JapanesePod101 and just use the other audio sources everything seems to load fine but I want to be able to still use JapanesePod101 because it's easily the best resource for audio sources.

Browser Version Firefox 101.0.1(and when I tried Brave 1.39.122 with the same settings the problem remained)

Yomichan Version 22.4.4.0(I tried doing a clean install of yomichan and the problem is the same)

Computer Info I'm on fresh Windows 10 install with the same hardware that I used prior. JapanesePod101 had no issues at first but started started having issues about an hour or so in. Restarting my computer didn't help.

I also have this issue, exactly as described here. On Linux and Windows 10 using Firefox and Yomichan 22.4.4.0

Thirding this issue. Running into the exact same problem using Chrome, Windows 11, and Yomichan 22.4.4.0.

See on TMW discord server how to set that up, download the vocab audio, and a custom URL that points to this local collection, creating cards should be instant and possible offline

I'm not familiar with what the TMW discord server is. Do you know where I could find a link?

I think the previous commentator meant this guide.

Oh it's TheMoeWay, got it. Didn't know there was a guide for that on there thanks for letting me know.

Oh I didn't see it was added, I left the server a few months ago

okaytommy commented 2 years ago

The guide on the website for TheMoeWay has outdated files but I went into the discord and was able to get the updated ones. For anyone else having this problem this seems to be the best solution to this issue since once you get it setup all of the audio loads instantly which is even better than doing it online since even when it's working well there can still be a small delay.

For those who are having the issue, is there also an issue with trying to play audio via the button in the Yomichan popup? Or is this issue only affecting card creation?

With some brief testing, I'm currently not able to reproduce the issue. Historically, JPod has had some certificate issues which has led to audio not working sometimes, not sure if the issue is the same or not.

I just tested again. it seems that everything is back to normal (at least for me) probably a Jpod issue, as you said.

I could reproduce it while trying to play audio via the button. Also sometimes it spends a gigantic amount of time while looking for a non existing audio. I would have loved an ability to set a deadline, after which Yomichan just assumes that the audio doesn't exist.

Thank you very much. Didn't expect it to be added at all.
