Thanks for reaching out, Hasan. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

Thanks — I reviewed your Dockerfile. You already install

livekit-agents[liveavatar]~=1.3.6

, so the ImportError suggests the plugin still isn't available when

python agent.py download-files

runs. Two likely causes and fixes: 1) Ensure the venv is active for every `uv pip`/`python` call in the Docker build • Replace

RUN python agent.py download-files

with:

RUN /app/venv/bin/python agent.py download-files

This guarantees the build-time Python uses the same virtualenv where

uv venv

installed packages. 2) Install the plugin via requirements (optional alternative) • Add the extra to

requirements.txt

(or ensure it's installed before download step), e.g.:

livekit-agents[liveavatar]~=1.3.6

and then:

RUN uv pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

before running

download-files

. Recommended minimal change (apply this and rebuild): • Change the download step to call the venv python:

RUN /app/venv/bin/python agent.py download-files

If the error persists, please paste the output of: •

RUN /app/venv/bin/pip show livekit-agents

(as a Dockerfile RUN line) and • the top of

agent.py

(first ~20 lines) so I can confirm the import path.
