@JuliusMigaku Hi Julius, sorry to ping you directly on a bug thread but I haven't seen an update here from Migaku's team in quite some time and from what I can tell this is affecting a non-trivial number of people. Scrolling through the replies and I also see a number of users who specifically stopped their subscription because of this issue. It's also a fair assumption that a number of people have stopped their subscription because of this without posting here.

I have also supported Migaku for almost two years now and as long-term customer I would really appreciate some insight into whether or not this is prioritized as an a issue. I understand replicating and this must be difficult, and thus fixing it must be even more of a challenge.

Lower in the thread I did recommend some work-around, or band-aid solutions that, while admittedly are suggested with complete naivety and no knowledge of the code base, if possible, could lower the severity of the issue by simply making it less noticeable.

Would appreciate some insight into this from Migaku's side of things if possible. Thanks so much in advance.

@stevimigaku can you help with this issue

@stevimigaku amazing, thank you. I'll have a play around with this

@jsgandora The discord server is public by now: https://discord.gg/JR5NrTTFhF

You can message me (Nekyo#3861) there for some 1 on 1 support 🙂

I can confirm that downgrading to 2.1.49 solved this problem on my Intel Mac.

@thalamor
Try updating Chrome.

i'm still experiencing this despite updating my chrome and making sure my migaku extension is at version 0.9.9.23 (i even reinstalled migaku and still not able to select any language) - any help with troubleshooting?

@stevijs said in Anime is mid, change my mind:

@clowdy-howdy Ok ok. This will change your mind. Have you considered waifus?

I had not, I changed my mind! Thank you!

@anon-v6 i did download it and although it doesn't have the same big bugs as before, i still get this:

Error An error occurred. Please start Anki while holding down the shift key, which will temporarily disable the add-ons you have installed.

@moyga Sorry about this, a fix is probably not coming until the rework that will release in the next 6 months.

For now I can only recommend using the browser extension in a different chrome profile or a different browser like edge or chromium

I just encountered this problem and fixed it. Turns out I had Nord VPN's 'Threat Protection' on. If you're having this problem then I suggest you try disabling things regarding security and popup blocking.

@anon-pm
Don't worry I understand those concerns. We are well aware of of those problems too. Be it communication, speed of updates or similar. And obviously also the concerns regarding Anki.
Hopfully we can leave those behind with the reworked-extension and once this current phase is over 😅

Is this still not resolved? I'm on a week's trial of Migaku, but I don't see much point in trying it when I can't link it to Anki.

Running the latest Anki build on an intel Mac

@anon-3t
On Mac, reinstalling also fixed it. I also backed up my word database to be safe, but it did pull it in from Migaku cloud when I clicked sync in the settings menu.

Fix coming soon in the next version. Thanks for the report!

@awesome-sepp
But that has nothing to do with the bracket removal that is being discussed here. That is just because いつも and 通り are two words. If you want to look for phrases in the pop up dictionary then you can press shift + z and the pop up will ignore the parsing.

@juliusmigaku same problem. MacBook air m1. failed download ffmpeg and ffprobe. I tried also on different Anki versions

@bent
switching the cards from the old ones to the new ones fixed it

This has been resolved. Thank you Stevi! On the orange head on the top left of the screen, you have to make sure that your target language is selected to be able to just hover over a word (while pressing shift) and see its definition. Also for anki card creation, make sure that "Migaku Japanese" is selected (so that the anki card will auto-populate from Netflix/YouTube).
