Fresh install. Doesn't show the remote deck menu options

[trevonio]

Hi,

I have been using the addon for a year. Last week I had to reinstall the OS (ubuntu 18) and did a fresh install of Anki 2.1.49. I installed remote decks and I can't see the menu options "manage remote decks" under Tools.

Is there something I'm missing?

I am having same issue on my 2012 MBP and 2021 MB air M1. Any help?

Hi I managed to fix it for me, I'll make a pull request if this fixes the issue for anyone else. The plugin was crashing on imports but there was no error handling to display this.

From anki open Tools > Add-ons then View files to view the local addons source.

navigate to 911568091/remote_decks/libs/org_to_anki/converters/BulletPointHtmlConverter.py

Comment out line 11 so it reads #import chardet

Save the file & restart anki.

I was unable to add a remote deck before, but this allowed the option to show up for me. +1

Thanks. I will pushed a new version shortly. Annoying that it broke I'm not sure why the python env seems to change so much
