How do I add my own Japanese subtitles?

roosterburton · May 6, 2024, 1:38am

There seems to be an issue with loading your own subtitles.

I’ll do a quality check on this tool today and add in some of the missing features

edit:
There was a few things to fix up but the process is a bit more streamlined.

The crunchyroll extension to my knowledge is not sending the listen time to lingq. The stats menu always shows listening time as infinity.

I have tried this several different ways - changing the top and bottom sections - importing srt files at the top or importing .ass files at the bottom. I have done both, and one at a time to try the difference. I have changed the Video language and studied lingq language at the top and at the bottom; if I want to use jp at the top I have to import the srt files but it still doesn’t seem to make a difference (even though I am using use own subs at the bottom and importing ass files at the same time).

Can you please tell me what I’m doing wrong? Or perhaps there’s a bug in calculating watched time?

OTHER INFO:

In the console, I can see my lingq account attaches successfully.

I see some errors in the console, but none are illuminating. I would post them but since I haven’t used the forum before, I’m limited to one media element in this reply.

There are more than these but I don’t know which one’s are relevant. Hopefully these could be helpful.

Hey mate thanks for the screenshot. This extension is a bit neglected as it is on a different codebase than the others. I checked it out just now and found a number of issues… I’ll spend some time on it this arvo to bring it inline with other tools. Unfortunate that jap subtitles still aren’t available on Crunchyroll.

hansg · September 3, 2024, 1:53am

Thanks so much for checking it out! I found a couple of other things that might be useful:

It looks like after setting the playback speed to something other than the default, and then setting it back, and restarting the extension a couple of times, it’s now recording listening time:

Not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but poking around in the minified code I saw a reference to a localStorage value for playbackSpeed, so I thought it could be related
Unfortunately it’s still not sending the progress to lingQ for listening time / not incrementing the coins (although, the actual lingQs are working)

Thanks again for your quick reply!

There were a few things to fix up but am relatively happy with it now. See notes below.

Crunchyroll 1.55 FF

Added Download Files menu (Subtitles/Img/Description/Title)

Added Translit and TTS to Clicked Word Popup

Stats menu now shows total words read and listening time (without resetting to 0 when sending to LingQ)

Removed Import Own Subs dropdown option. (Now use the checkbox option at bottom)

Bug fix for mapping of the correct Audio Language

Bug fix for an error when loading words in the side panel

Bug fix for sending listening time to LingQ

Style fix for z-index and header in Clicked Word Popup

hansg · September 5, 2024, 12:38am

Thanks so much for the quick work!

Unfortunately the latest build doesn’t seem to show up for me in the browser. I tried a few different shows and I see the same console error each time (no UI for the extension ever appears):

The forEach TypeError is the last message I see from the extension each time, which probably crashes the rest of the execution. I did try several different shows to see if there was a pattern but it was consistent each time. Using the Firefox Browser Developer edition:

EDIT:

Looking into it, it’s more confusing than I thought. I get this in the console:

I’m not sure if that’s helpful - I am a CrunchyRoll subscriber in the US. I’m thinking this might mean I need to enter my license again after installing the new extension (I have to enter it when I go back to the old one), but no UI ever appears so I’m not sure where to enter it.

roosterburton · September 5, 2024, 1:17am

@hansg

Thanks for the report mate. The video data function is returning this error message for premium content. I’ll add a fallback for that now.

You shouldn’t have to enter your key every time. I suspect your saved settings are cleared when the browser closes,

Edit: Should be fixed now in 1.56
