Browser extension doesn't detect video file when file is coming from another device on the network #38

Closed cademcniven closed 2 years ago

cademcniven commented 2 years ago

I have my video files saved on a NAS and animebook is able to play them just fine. However, when I use the animebook browser extension to create anki cards, it gives me the error, "No video file found". Interestingly, this only happens on my windows machine -- I do the exact same thing on my laptop running linux and it works fine.

I understand it's kinda my fault for using the app in an unintended way, and I also know I could just download the files locally (or just not make cards). However, I'd appreciate any help or ideas for how to get it working.

I don't have a NAS to test this out with, but are there any errors in the dev console when you drop the video in?

cademcniven commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately there's not. BUT I think I found a solution (kind of). It seems like the issue only happens when I add the video file via the "browse" button. If I add the video by dragging it, it works just fine

Oh, your extension might be out of date. What version do you have on your Windows machine? Anything released before October will probably run into this issue. See #37

That should be it! I have version 1.0.0 on my windows machine, which would explain why it works on my linux machine (I set it up more recently).
