Hi, Daniel,

It’s been a while since I last used the Netflix addon. After adding the last version (144) to Firefox, I’ve successfully created a course and a lesson from within a Netflix series episode, but when I click on the “Attach Lesson X and Play Video” button, nothing happens. Both the course and the lesson looks fine in Linq though. Any idea why this may be happening?

Thanks!

[roosterburton]

sorry an error with the latest update. will be patched within the hour.
edit: fixed.

[roosterburton]

Patch 1.48 → Can now dub any video in Netflix with the language that you want.

Mind the black box, Netflix blocks the video picture while you record.

Video Example

Insane.mp4

New in 1.49/50

→ Ability to speed up non spoken parts of the Netflix video up to 8x
→ Ability to speed up spoken parts of the Netflix video up to 4x
→ Re added all time movement commands. You can now easily glide between captions using hotkeys or clicking the scrolling menus.

[lingqdude]

Hi Daniel. I have the 1.93 update working on firefox for youtube but not for netflix. It is saying it can’t read or change data on this site. It wouldn’t work for 1.92 either. I just purchased it today though and maybe I am doing something wrong.

[roosterburton]

Hey @lingqdude thanks for your support. You can find the Netflix tool in a separate folder inside the main zip. It is a separate install for now but will be included in a future update.

[lingqdude]

Thanks Daniel, I got it working. Next question. Am I able to take several words and highlight them to get the meaning like I am able to in LingQ?

Another thing, I am accustomed to using Language Reactor and I really like how they offer the option to have the subtitles located in a fixed side bar. Maybe something to think about for later if it’s possible.

[roosterburton]

@lingqdude

Am I able to take several words and highlight them to get the meaning like I am able to in LingQ?

Yes, this is a standard feature. I have notice problems with it when the transliteration line is attached though and randomly will need to highlight it twice.

@lingqdude

subtitles located in a fixed side bar

I’ll take this into account when improving the UI next. Cheers

[lingqdude]

Hey Roosterburton, I just want to thank you for making this. I am impressed how much work you put into it and it has changed the way I am studying permanently. I don’t understand why all of this wasn’t done years ago by several teams. But anyway, back to the reason I am messaging you; thank you very much for making this. I got a lot of studying done today enjoying netflix videos while out in the sun.
