Ok now that's cool. Since it's often all doom and gloom here, celebrating good tech is a nice change :)
Since VLC is open source, can we expect this AI subtitle generator as a separate product that could be used in, say, jellyfin?
I use subgen to generate my subtitles locally. I have it linked to Bazarr but apparently there’s webhooks for Jellyfin.
This is fantastic, thank you for sharing. I’ve struggled with some media not having suitable subtitles available for download.
Apparently there's a pluggin for that already: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/discussions/6105
Oh actually not specifically for that, but sounds like it would be possible, maybe make a feature request for it once the vlc ones source is available.
This is something I'm very much behind. I think firefox is doing something similar if i am not mistaken. One of my favorite shows is a Japanese tv show called GameCenter CX. Fans create subtitles but its a lot of work. Lately they have been using ai to generate subtitles and while some are a bit messed up, you at least get the idea what is going on and they can work off of that if necessary.
Firefox has offline translation and image alt-text tagging (for screen readers), but people bitched about it when Mozilla introduced it.
I'm glad people seem broadly receptive of it now that VLC is doing something similar.
