Thanks for the extension. Is there any way of importing an Audiobook from Spotify? eg - https://open.spotify.com/show/2stdZINTYm2nw0fTsJPn2q

roosterburton · August 11, 2024, 9:37am

No support for paid content. I’ve seen a few of those Olly Richards books for sale in the LingQ Library, buying it there would be the simplest way. Otherwise buy it from a place that includes the mp3 files so you can transcribe them yourself. The Rooster Course Upload free extension is great for this purpose.

indzan · August 11, 2024, 9:53am

Alright thanks. I’ve been using your rooster upload extension loads, it’s been great for multi chapter audio books. Just struggling to find some content in MP3 format but I’ll keep looking!

ROOSTER YOUTUBE IMPORT FREE

A light version of the Rooster Playlist Import for the general LingQ user.

OVERVIEW
With LingQ disabling the built in Whisper Transcribe functionality for YouTube videos on the LingQ Import extension I thought this would be beneficial for anyone looking to continue that practice.

Import via WebForm (EASY) [NO EXTENSION]

Import YouTube video to LingQ via URL [NO EXTENSION]

Browser extension to query, download and import content from YouTube

IMPORT BY WEBFORM (ALL USERS)

image644×938 36.5 KB

Import YouTube Video by WebForm

This WebForm uses the URL parameters from the import by URL method but allows the user to do it via GUI rather than constructing a URL.

HOW TO USE
Go to this webpage → Rooster Web Extensions - Services

Click the Get Access Token Button
Copy that token into the input field
Enter YouTube Video URL / ID
Enter Language Code for LingQ import
Choose if you want to Transcribe or use the Subtitles (Use Audio)

IMPORT BY URL (ALL USERS)

Import YouTube Video by URL

Something special for the LingQ community with the departure of Whisper Transcribe of YouTube videos for phone users. Using this solution you will be able to import any YouTube video simply by using a link.

HOW IT WORKS
Because LingQ allows requests to be made by third parties using your session cookies or API key (The fundamental basic for browser extension) we are able to setup basic processes like lesson creation from a location other than LingQ.com.

GET CREDENTIALS
To get your unique LingQ API Key click HERE https://www.lingq.com/accounts/apikey/
If you want to validate with session cookies you need these values

PARAMETERS OVERVIEW
URL Parameters are used to send the information we need. They are constructed like this.
Base URL: https://theartofdrowning.com/php/youtubeImport.php
First Parameter: ?videoId=vTOj_Ugp3Ww (Replace with your YouTube VideoID - The string at the end of YouTube URL)
Second or more Parameters: &language=fi&useAudio=false
Putting it together the URL would look like
https://theartofdrowning.com/php/youtubeImport.php?videoId=vTOj_Ugp3Ww&language=fi&useAudio=false

ALL PARAMETERS
videoId=vTOj_Ugp3Ww | YouTube Video Id (Required)
language=fi | Language to Import to (Not required but preferred as YT video may be undefined)
useAudio=false | if useAudio is true the video will be transcribed otherwise subtitles are imported. (Not required, default to false)
key=99313509a7 | Your LingQ API Key (Required)*
If using cookies instead of an API Key you will need to use these parameters instead of key
fs.session.id=7dee282f (Replace with your cookie)
wwwlingqcomsa=46hrhepa2 (Replace with your cookie)
csrftoken=LurDfpv (Replace with your cookie)

LIMITS
3 Audio Transcribes per day maximum.
5 Subtitle imports per day maximum.
This is to prevent abuse and keep the service running smoothly

Hello Rooster, I tried accessing your free extension but it wasn`t there anymore, have you removed it or am I doing something wrong?

roosterburton · August 30, 2024, 10:16am

@Atlan

Hey mate

Firefox Store hasn’t made a decision on the extension yet. You can manual install by using the above link and following this guide. Otherwise check back later…!

Edit: Extension is now live on Firefox store

INSTALL
Rooster Import Firefox Webstore

sockdoll · August 30, 2024, 7:53pm

Just added it, and it’s working great. I don’t see a separate icon for this extension, so I guess it’s acting as a sort of patch for the official LingQ import extension?

Any plans for a Chrome version that I could use on the Brave browser? Firefox is very slow on my very old PC.

Thanks for helping to make LingQ more useful!

roosterburton · August 30, 2024, 10:22pm

This extension has nothing to do with the LingQ one.

After install you access it via this button

Atlan · September 5, 2024, 8:15am

Mate, thank you so much! What a great soul you are!
You deserve to be famous and prosperous! I wish you all the best in your life and career!

roosterburton · September 5, 2024, 12:10pm

Just a page refresh should do the trick. There was an error if you were trying to import / download some subtitles over the past day but has been resolved now.

Atlan · September 6, 2024, 8:44am

Thank you very much for your awesome work Rooster!

I´m using your great Rooster YouTube Import extension and everything has been working pretty well. Today I had the first issue with a YT video that I don´t know what is the problem. It has Chinese CC subtitles but I´m getting an error message and it is not able to fetch the subtitles. Is it possible it is because the author labeled the subtitles in a different way? He named them “Chinese(China)” probably to distinguish them from Taiwan, but it can create a conflict with the usual Chinese (simplified) or Chinese (traditional) labels, though I´m not sure that is the reason it was unable to fetch them.

In case you wanna check, the video is

roosterburton · September 6, 2024, 9:11am

@Atlan

I believe it was a cache issue on my end where it was holding YT data past its expiry point.

Should be working now
