TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found

[TimOgden]

This happens whether I call the sample.py script directly just like how the README.md file says or if I try to run the same code in the ipynb file. I think it may have to do with the code not being able to find the model weights, but I really don't know. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

This is because wget fails and the file is empty. I was able to fix this by manually editing jukebox\utils\gcs_utils.py's download function to call wget with --no-check-certificate.

args = ['wget', '-q', '-O', local_path, remote_path, '--no-check-certificate']

[youdontown]

Note that this might be a dangerous change to make permanently and this is a problem that could be fixed by properly setting up the wget environment (something I don't know how to do yet). But I think jukebox only downloads a few things and this should at least get you going...

Would be nice if these errors were a little more descriptive. I might make a pull request later to make this more accessible.

[TimOgden]

I made that change in the gcs_utils.py file but I still get the same Exception, weirdly enough. I also tried to remove the '-q' from the args list hoping that wget would be verbose and give me some more information, but it is still supressed.

Try running wget on https://storage.googleapis.com/jukebox-assets/models/5b/vqvae.pth.tar and see what the error is. I had a certificate error, yours might be different.

[TimOgden]

It's weird, just doing that I get the certification error like so

but if I do wget https://storage.googleapis.com/jukebox-assets/models/5b/vqvae.pth.tar --no-check-certificate then it works fine.

So I'm not quite sure why it doesn't work in the ipynb file

[youdontown]

Oh, duh. You need to go and delete the files that were created in the cache, because jukebox thinks they were already downloaded. Go to C:\Users\<you>\.cache\jukebox-assets\models\ and delete the archives in the subfolders.

[TimOgden]

I ended up just downloading all the files I need into the cache myself as I found that easiest.

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/jukebox-assets/models/5b/vqvae.pth.tar --no-check-certificate -O C:/Users/<you>/.cache/jukebox-assets/models/5b/vqvae.pth.tar

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/jukebox-assets/models/5b/prior_level_0.pth.tar --no-check-certificate -O C:/Users/<you>/.cache/jukebox-assets/models/5b/prior_level_0.pth.tar

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/jukebox-assets/models/5b/prior_level_1.pth.tar --no-check-certificate -O C:/Users/<you>/.cache/jukebox-assets/models/5b/prior_level_1.pth.tar

If you want the 5b_lyrics model
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/jukebox-assets/models/5b/prior_level_2.pth.tar --no-check-certificate -O C:/Users/<you>/.cache/jukebox-assets/models/5b/prior_level_2.pth.tar

If you want the 1b_lyrics model
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/jukebox-assets/models/1b/prior_level_2.pth.tar --no-check-certificate -O C:/Users/<you>/.cache/jukebox-assets/models/1b/prior_level_2.pth.tar

Thanks @youdontown I would've been completely stuck without your help

@youdontown Do you happen to know if wget can be configured to run this without removing the certificate check?

[Apokar]

I can't download those files

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/jukebox-assets/models/5b/vqvae.pth.tar --no-check-certificate -O /root/.cache/jukebox-assets/models/5b/vqvae.pth.tar

Unable to establish SSL connection

Can I download it from somewhere else?

[Apokar]

wow I just replace https with http,and it can download files successfully,Try It!!!
