Images Not Working in AnkiHub Deck

Hi there! I see you’re having trouble with images not displaying in your AnKing deck from AnkiHub. Based on your screenshot, it looks like the images are missing from your cards. Let me help you troubleshoot this issue.

First, check your media sync status:

  1. Go to the AnkiHub add-on menu at the top of Anki
  2. Check the media sync status - it should say “Idle” if media sync is complete
  3. If it says “Downloading”, you’ll need to wait for it to finish (can take up to 60 minutes depending on your internet connection)

If media sync is complete but images are still missing:

  1. Reset local changes (you mentioned you tried this, but let’s ensure it’s done correctly):

    • Go to Browse
    • Click on the AnkiHub add-on at the top
    • Select “Reset local changes”
    • Choose the AnKing deck specifically
  2. Verify you’re subscribed to the official deck:

  3. Check if images are in protected fields:

    • For the AnKing Step Deck, AnkiHub downloads media for these fields: Text, Extra, Sketchy, and Pixorize
    • If you’ve unprotected fields that AnkiHub provides media for, this could cause issues
  4. Try a complete reinstall as a last resort:

    • Unsubscribe from the deck
    • Restart Anki
    • Subscribe to the deck again

If you’ve tried all these steps and are still experiencing issues, could you provide more details about:

  • Which specific AnKing deck you’re using
  • Your Anki version and AnkiHub add-on version
  • Any error messages you might be seeing

This will help me provide more targeted assistance for your situation.

Tried all of the steps above. Anking V12, Anki version 25.07.5, no other error messages.

I’ll help you troubleshoot this further since you’ve already tried the basic solutions. Let me search for any additional information that might help with your specific case.

Troubleshooting AnKing V12 Missing Images

Thanks for providing those additional details. Since you’re using the latest Anki version (25.07.5) with AnKing V12 and have already tried the basic troubleshooting steps, let’s try some more advanced troubleshooting:

Media Sync Force Reset

  1. Force a media sync reset:

    • Close Anki completely
    • Restart Anki while holding down the Shift key (this starts Anki without add-ons)
    • Close Anki again
    • Restart Anki normally
    • Check if the AnkiHub media sync status says “Idle” or “Downloading”
    • If it says “Downloading,” wait for it to complete
  2. Check media files in Anki:

    • Go to Tools > Check Media in Anki
    • This will show if there are any missing media files
    • If there are missing files, note their names for reference
  3. Manually import media:

    • Even though AnkiHub should handle media automatically, you can try manually importing:
    • Go to the AnkiHub add-on in your menu bar
    • Click on “Import Media”
    • Choose the appropriate option for your situation (Local Folder, Anki Deck Package, etc.)

Understanding the Media Issue

From what I understand about how media works in Anki with AnkiHub:

  1. There are two parts to images: the actual image file and the HTML reference to that file
  2. If you see missing media icons, you have the HTML reference but no actual media file
  3. If fields are empty, they might be protected in AnkiHub settings

Additional Advanced Steps

  1. Check field protection settings:

    • Log into app.ankihub.net
    • Find your AnKing V12 deck
    • Check if important fields with media are protected
    • If they are, unprotect them, then unsubscribe and resubscribe to the deck
  2. Try a complete removal and reinstall:

    • Unsubscribe from the deck
    • Go to Tools > Check Media and delete unused media
    • Restart Anki
    • Subscribe to the official AnKing V12 deck again
    • Allow sufficient time for media to download (can take 60+ minutes with a large deck)
  3. Verify Anki Web syncing:

    • Make sure you’re properly syncing with AnkiWeb
    • Media syncing can sometimes be delayed or incomplete

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it might be helpful to share a screenshot of your AnkiHub add-on status page showing the media sync status and any error messages that appear during the troubleshooting process.

Hello,

Just to clarify, Anki’s “Missing Media Files” report isn’t always perfectly accurate; it can sometimes appear even when no media is actually missing. However, it sounds like you are indeed missing some images, so let’s try to figure this out.

First, let’s try a few troubleshooting steps:

  1. Update the AnkiHub add-on: Please go to Tools > Add-ons > Check for Updates and then restart Anki. (I see you already have the latest Anki version, so that’s great!)
  2. Check Protected Fields: Please double-check that the fields with missing media are not protected. Here’s a guide: How to Manage Protected Fields
  3. Reset Local Changes: Please try resetting your local changes one more time. Here’s how: How to Reset Local Changes

If the issue still persists, could you please provide some more details?

  • Is the media simply not there, or can you see a “missing media” icon on the flashcard?
  • Which fields have missing media? Is it all fields, or specific ones like “Extra” or “Sketchy”?
  • Could you please send a screenshot of a flashcard with the issue? This helps us understand the problem much better.

We’re happy to help get this sorted out! :blush:

Thank you, I have tried all of the steps, and I still have the same issue. The missing media icon is present. Every field is missing including Extra and Sketchy.

I have tried so many troubleshooting steps across the internet… is there still a media import file I can download available?

I also just tried reinstalling the deck with no success. Thank you for your continued patience, and please let me know what I might try next.


More images of the problem. On the left is the image displayed properly on Ankihub Web.

To help us investigate this further, could you please upload your logs? Here’s how:

  1. In Anki, navigate to AnkiHub > Help > Upload Logs.
  2. A filename will be shown. Please copy and paste that filename here for us.

This will give us the information we need to figure out what’s going on. Thanks! :blush:

Thank you.

Here is the filename:

Hi there MarcoZan, thank you for your help. My first aid images are not showing and I have tried everything above as well. Below is my filename, thank you so much for helping: ankihub_addon_logs_shashi26_1754159562.log

Hello,

I would be happy to help. :slight_smile:

It is normal for the FirstAid images to not show, as being proprietary media AnkiHub is not able to provide anything in that field. The field is there for your personal use

You can remove the broken image icons by returning the field to its default protected state, and you can find a bit more info here: AnKing Step Deck Wiki

Please let me know if that answers your question, and if there’s anything else I can help with. :slight_smile:
