2.6.0 - Video Transcription, Batch Processing & Archive UX Overhaul

4 days ago

Highlights

Video Transcription with Local Whisper

  • Video transcript player: Archive a YouTube or TikTok video, and the transcript appears as a synced, scrollable panel alongside the embedded video with playback controls.
  • Transcription suggestion banner: When a local video is detected in your note, a banner prompts you to transcribe it using your local Whisper installation (faster-whisper / whisper.cpp / openai-whisper) with model selection and time estimates.
  • Native closed captions (CC): Local videos now support TextTrack-based captions with a CC toggle button, synced to the Whisper transcript.
  • Multilingual transcript translation: Translate transcripts into other languages and switch between them via pill-style language tabs.

Batch Download & Transcription

  • Batch processing: Scan your archive folder and batch-download + transcribe all eligible videos with a single command. Supports pause, resume, and cancel with persistent progress tracking across plugin reloads.
  • Improved batch notice UI: Progress bar with status-aware colors, icon+label buttons with proper spacing, and auto-dismiss on completion.

Archive Progress Banner (replaces Preliminary Document)

  • New loading UX: Instead of creating a placeholder document during archiving, a non-intrusive progress banner now appears at the top of the timeline showing real-time status for each job (queued, archiving, retrying, completed, failed).
  • Dismiss & retry: Every banner state has a dismiss (X) button; failed jobs show a retry button. Dismissed jobs are properly cleaned up and won't reappear on reload.

Also Included (from 2.5.7)

  • Fixed Facebook Reels being saved as thumbnails instead of actual video by prioritizing r2Url → url → cdnUrl.
  • Improved .mp4 extension handling for ambiguous video URLs.
  • Improved mobile sync resilience: transient Archive not found responses now trigger retry instead of failure.
  • Unified frontmatter property ordering and improved archive tag strategy with tagRoot and tagOrganization options.
  • Added customizable frontmatter property names for multi-language support.
  • Added video download failure UX: red status message, checkbox property, and toast notification.
  • Added pre-capture warning when IMAGE+VIDEO mode is selected.
