Media Sync Filter

Description

This add-on can be used to optimize Anki's media sync function by filtering out syncing of media in certain conditions. Settings can be tuned in config.py. The defaults setting are listed below: settings = { 'sync_suspended_cards': False, 'sync_new_cards': False, } There are roughly two ways to use this. a) The default settings will disable syncing of media for cards that are either Suspended or New. You can use this in the scenario where you usually add and learn new cards on a single computer and then sync to AnkiWeb for review online or on a mobile device. b) In the scenario where you want to also learn New cards online or on a mobile device, but you keep your cards Suspended until you're ready to learn them, you can change settings to 'sync_suspended_cards': False, 'sync_new_cards': True. Enjoy!

Absolutely essential if you use subs2srs sentence banks or need space on your phone.

ATTENTION: The recent versions (around 2.1.20) have optimised the way media syncing works, (aside from the error people are getting) so it doesn't work. That said, in the recent versions you can sync without syncing media, so personally I just sync the cards with 2.1.35, and I use 2.1.15 to do some daily tasks and at that time I also sync the media.

As others mentioned, it does not work. Hope the author sees this :(

This addon is absolutely amazing and completely essential for those who have large sentence banks, but like to do their daily reps on their phones. It works perfectly with morphman and allows me to keep a large sentence bank on my computer without over crowding other devices.

Apologies for the downvote, but you don't have a contact author button to use. I cannot get the addon to run. Error below:

Awesome, thanks for sharing this! I was already in the need of something like this half a year ago, but I found nothing and didn't know how to develop it myself. With my humongous sentence bank (having all potentially useful sentences from all my favourite shows and movies available) becoming less and less easier to handle, I was just about trying to figure it out on my own. Thank you so much for saving me the hassle of doing that! By changing the "query for media to actually synchronize" in media_filter.py (line 34), I could also define the exact behaviour that I wanted. (Only exclude cards from one deck if they are new and not immediately learnable.) My new query looks like this:
"select notes.id, notes.mid, notes.flds from cards, notes where cards.nid = notes.id"
" and (not cards.did = 1 or cards.reps > 0 or notes.tags like '%Ease::i+1%')"
In my collection, immediately learnable cards have the tag Ease::i+1 attached to them. It happens that the deck ID (cards.did) of the deck that I want to exclude is 1, you can find out the IDs of any other decks in the "decks" column of the "con" table of your collection database.

Very useful when dealing with large sentence banks, great job.

This helped me to reduce the size of my media folder and now I can easily keep a sentence bank without overwhelming my android device.
