killergerbah/asbplayer v0.20.0

asbplayer-extension v0.20.0

on GitHub

It is highly recommended to upgrade to this version of the extension as it includes the Manifest V3 upgrade which will be enforced by Chrome in 2023. This means all previous versions of the extension will no longer work some time in 2023.

Changes:

• Enhancement: Manifest V3 upgrade.
• Enhancement: Much improved tab management. In most cases the extension should no longer create tabs unnecessarily. As a result the "auto sync" feature has greatly improved UX.
• Enhancement: Anki dialog supports zoom-out for time rang selection and the radius for surrounding subtitles is configurable.
• Enhancement: No longer need to click check mark button to apply time range selection to the sentence field.
• Enhancement: Update availability check.
• Enhancement: Language preferences for auto-detected subtitles are saved per-site (i.e. separated between YouTube and Netflix).
• Enhancement: Do not prime UI when mining a subtitle for the first time from a specific video. Prevent audio clip lag on some sites.
• Bug fix: Auto-pause works even if subtitles are not being displayed.
• Bug fix: Update-last-card keyboard shortcut respects audio-encoding preference.
• Bug fix: Properly sanitize file names before storing in Anki.
• Security: Validation on HTTP requests from extension to ensure that they are AnkiConnect commands.
• Security: Improved security in window-frame communication.

Installation:

1. Download asbplayer-extension-0.20.0.zip, unzip it somewhere.
2. Go to chrome://extensions and enable developer mode in the top right.
3. If you have a previous version of the extension installed, delete it first.
4. Click "load unpacked extension" and pick the unzipped directory.
5. Restart Chrome.
6. Pin the extension to the Chrome toolbar so it's easy to access the settings (click on the puzzle piece and then the "pin" button next to the entry for asbplayer).

Usage:

1. Enable the extension.
2. Sync video elements and subtitles with asbplayer using one of the following options:
   • Drag and drop a subtitle file into a video element to sync it with asbplayer.
   • Use the subtitle track selection dialog (Ctrl+Shift+F by default) to pick a video element and any detected subtitle tracks.
   • After loading a subtitle file from the asbplayer site, detected tabs can be found by clicking the "video camera" icon in the bottom right of the asbplayer UI. Choosing a tab will sync asbplayer with that video.
3. Using the appropriate keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+X by default) will mine the current subtitle. See the README of this repo for more help.
