Thanks for the suggestion but this is how it should be working now. That is how it works for me. Can you send a video showing it working differently?

I’m not sure what you mean by beginning of the page. You just click on the Video icon in the top right beside the title.

63

Here is the video

As you can see video player is loading again each time

Firsty, I need to say that this facility is very useful. I am really grateful lingq team for this. you guys doing great job. However, I think you need to make sure that it is working smoothly. Maybe, you can consider piotrj suggestion.

I am using classic version of reading facility. So whenever I click a word, the video stop and since it is classic version I need to go up means beginning of the page to continue the video.

Even in new version of reading facility, it is really annoying to go forth and back with mouse to continue with video when we click the words. What i mean by shortcut in keyboard is that, after we save our linq, we should easy go with the video by assigned shortcut. lets say esc. After we click the esc the video should continue.

thanks a lot, that is so useful!

I love this new Feature! but there are a lot of great videos that have subtitles but arn’t on youtube. I wish I could import from here as well. websites like MDR Sport | MDR.DE has so many videos with subtitles.

67

That is something we are planning on looking into. We’ll see if we can add additional video import sources. Thanks for the suggestion. You’ll have to wait and see!

I just used this to upload about 10 YouTube videos of Kizuna AI (a Japanese virtual YouTuber) and it worked perfectly! Thank you guys for this amazing update!

Yippee! This is wonderful!

We have just pushed an update which now shows the video on the page above the sentence in Sentence Mode. It’s still in the sidebar in Page Mode, of course.

71

It’s amazing! Thank you.

@MarkEChavez - By the way, you should now be able to import video content from mdr.de and from animelon.com. The videos can’t be displayed since they are not Youtube videos but the audio and text are imported into LingQ through the import extension. Enjoy!

73

Wow, thank you guys so much for this. Love LingQ you guys are always making the money we pay worth every penny with these new features.

Hi Mark. I’ve imported some of the videos from my channel to share them on Lingq. The first time I did it without any issue and I found it amazing but today it’s impossible to share new lessons because the audio is not imported from the video. Could you check what it is due to? Thanks a lot!

75

@KatysLanguages - Thanks for the heads up! We’ll get that fixed. Sorry about that.

76

@KatysLanguages - It should be working properly now. In fact, your audio should be there now. The audio import was delayed by some issues in the import queue… Hopefully, this shouldn’t happen again but let us know if you notice it again.

77

Yes, it’s perfect now, thanks a lot Mark!!

78

I am trying for Spanish and the Audio is not importing… Is there a way to add the audio on if it doesn’t self-generate? If it doesn’t self generate will it just take some time and the audio will be available in a few days? I want to share this content with others so They can use it too. It also makes reviewing the speech easier when you have the rewind 5 seconds button.

Do you have the transcripts available anywhere?

Is it possible to upload a video without subtitles? Most Chinese video have embedded subtitles so I was hoping to import the video and transcribe the subtitles manually, but the Chrome extension threw an error for “no subtitles.”
