Hello @ibrahimi3 can you provide more details to know exactly in what step of the process and what part of the channel you were trying to import when you got that error? That channel has 9971 resources and it would be hard to know if one of them is corrupted.
Also, it would be good if you can retry it and check if it works now, a temporary network issue might have been the reason for your problem too.
Regards
José
I got this several times right now on the Raspberrry Pi 0.17.5.zip image;
However, it seems to have now resolved itself. Tried several times now and it works. Perhaps it timed out or something as there is a lot of content, and now that the successful content is cached, it worked?
However, when I click Select All, the import button doesn’t enable itself:
However, after a while it does enable:
Hrm, yes - some of the database queries can take particularly long on a raspberry pi - in this case working out how much space the imported channel will take. Khan Academy English is the largest channel in our library by a long way, so these issues tend to be exacerbated for it!
If you are able to share any of the logs from the device following these instructions: Troubleshooting - Kolibri User Guide it may give us some more details on what went wrong for the error screen you saw!
Thanks @richard, had to go into the archive folder:

Thanks - looks like there was a network interruption or write contention during downloading of the metadata file for the channel. We can definitely try to make that a little bit more robust in future.

Cool. If it helps, I accessed the web interface via a macbook pro running macos to the kolibri wifi hotspot. The kolibri instance is running on a raspberry pi 5 with a 256GB max endurance sd card, and connected to the internet via an ethernet cable to a 100gbps down / 10 gbps up home network that is a fibre connection in australia.
