Extension: Rooster Import - Transcribe Online Videos and Import Spotify Songs

@Cantagorous Firefox declined to host it because I was too liberal with the website permissions in the settings file. Not a difficult fix to bring it up to their standard but slightly tedious. I’ll resubmit in the next couple days.

see here for manual install on Firefox

That worked. But I’ve tried it and have been waiting 5 minutes for it to transcribe and still nothing. It seems stuck at the “Starting-…” phase. On a 4:30 video.

Interesting. Can you try the other Conversion option and let me know if its working for you.

I switched to YTConverter and that seemed to work. When I looked for the lesson though I couldn’t find it.

Check the course you imported it to it should be there, transcribed lessons can take a short while to show up.

10 minutes so far and still nothing. Later I’ll try a different video and see if that makes a difference.

Only thing I can say Is to watch the Video and see if anything different happened for you.

You can press F12 and click Console. This will show any errors that occur in the process.

I’ve figured out what caused the problem. One or two of my ad and script blockers were interfering.

Hey, @roosterburton!

What’s the difference between the top two choices?:

  • YT5S - Video Transcribe
  • YTConverter - Video Transcribe

Not sure if I missed it listed here.

Thanks!

P.S. And just to be sure, the SaveSubs - Text and Translation Import option “[d]ownloads Text and Translation to your PC as a text document.”?

Just a backup in case one of the methods breaks. One of them might produce better audio too, havn’t tested it properly.

If its a Youtube Video it will create a LingQ lesson with the information, If its from those other sites it will download the Text and Translation to your PC.

The options for LingQ Courses seem to be missing via Firefox with Rooster Transcribe/Import 120:

I clicked on a few options to check.

Also, is there another way to get the Course ID number from LingQ?

Thanks!

In that picture your video language is ‘en’, not ‘ko’. It will be displaying your English courses on LingQ (Which I assume are none)

CourseID from URL

Yup! That did it!

Good to know to keep it on Ko since I won’t have any en learning to do.

This video had Korean dialogues (conversations) but verbal English grammar explanations, so I got confused.

Thanks!!! :slight_smile:

P. S. Thanks for the course ID info! I hadn’t noticed that before!

Added SaveTheVideo Video Conversion Method. (Currently just for video Transcribing, I’ll add Text and translation imports through this method in a later patch)
SaveTheVideo can import from basically any video website on the internet (Excluding Youtube) Use this method for odd video importing.
Added Query Video button (To confirm selection before import)

Fixed an issue preventing Youtube lessons from being created.

Made a temporary fix of removing videoUrl and query data to import Youtube videos.

Is there a list of all the languages codes somewhere?

I’m stuck on what the Japanese code is (ja? jp?).

I know a couple of codes:

  • en → English
  • ko → Korean

Should be jp
