Error when using -vad_v3.1

[dgoryeo]

I get this runtime error when running in Win11:

line 1873, in apply_folder_hack
    os.symlink(repo_or_dir_specific, repo_or_dir_master)
OSError: [WinError 1314] A required privilege is not held by the client: 'C:\\Users\\U/.cache/torch/hub/snakers4_silero-vad_v3.1' -> 'C:\\Users\\U/.cache/torch/hub/snakers4_silero-vad_master'

I'm running in conda powershell but not admin priviledges. When I create the symlink manually with admin priviledge I get the error from whisper_timestamped: shutil error: link already exists.

Thanks

Yes, in your case, you cannot use "vad=silero:3.1", unless you can change permissions of ''C:\Users\U/.cache/torch/hub" so that non admin user can write in it.
There is a bug in silero around version control, and the unique workaround I found was to mesh with cache folders.
If you are disappointed with the latest version of silero, you can use auditok and it should work smoothly.

(Note: please provide the input code / command you run when you report an error, so that everybody can understand the context of the error)
