Socket already in use, cannot connect

[felixvd]

After installing the add-on on Mac, Anki starts up to the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/felix/Library/Application Support/Anki2/addons/yomi_base/anki_connect.py", line 41, in advance
    self.server.listen()
  File "/Users/felix/Library/Application Support/Anki2/addons/yomi_base/ajax.py", line 132, in listen
    self.sock.bind((address, port))
  File "socket.pyc", line 228, in meth
socket.error: [Errno 48] Address already in use

After initially showing other errors when activating the connection in the Chrome browser extension, it eventually does work (the data gets sent to Anki), but the error on startup remains.

It's lovely work through and through by the way. Congratulations and thanks.

Hey, so it looks like you are already running something on that socket (8765)? Can you try opening the anki_connect.py file and changing the port to another value?

That fixes the error being displayed on Anki's startup, but checking/unchecking the "Enable AnkiIntegration" checkbox in the Chrome extension afterwards gives the error Extension and plugin versions incompatible. I didn't change the port in the extension, by the way.
