Audio 2 Face Extension - PiP install

I can verify that i can install IPython, Protobuf, GRPC and Nvidia Riva client in Omniverse Code when i start up the extension. Using this in the script editor:

import google.protobuf
import grpc
try:
    import IPython
    print("IPython is installed.")
except ImportError:
    print("IPython is not installed.")

print(google.protobuf.__version__)
print(grpc.__version__)

try:
    import riva.client
    print("NVIDIA Riva Client is installed.")
except ImportError:
    print("NVIDIA Riva Client is not installed.")

Extension system cache settings between Code and A2F is different.
Code points to: Nvidia\omniverseCache\exts
A2F points to: ov\nucleus\exts

Ran the link_app.bat got a warning for the extension path to Audio 2 Face but it said that it fixed it and printed Success! in the end. Still can’t install or enable IPython or nvidia-riva-client

Tried some of the advice in the link that youposted Ehsan.HM: python - ImportError: cannot import name ‘builder’ from ‘google.protobuf.internal’ - Stack Overflow
No success since i can’t upgrade or downgrade the A2F Protobuf version. I even tried overwriting the files manually. But it just created more problems. Re-installing A2F now to make sure it’s a clean install.

Ruling out IPython as something that i need. It is NOT a dependency.

I have now also tried what you suggested here Ehsan: Audio 2 Face - Extension - #19 by W1r3d
