CIJ and Migaku?

Hi :smiley:

Long shot, but is there a chance to implement Migaku support on the website?

Hi @diana!

Migaku’s video-related “Subtitle Browser” feature (the one that adds a panel to the right of the video) will not work on our site. The only part of Migaku that will work on our site is its text-based features.

I checked with the Migaku staff, and they said that video is supported only on certain sites (e.g. YouTube, Netflix). So, there’s no way for us to support Migaku; or rather, Migaku does not support sites like ours :smiling_face_with_tear:.

Oh, I see! Thank you very much for checking!

There is a way to get something very similar to Migaku working with cijapanese using the free/open source ‘asbplayer’ plugin along with ‘yomichan’ plugin, on Chrome browser. These work with AnkiConnect and can be set up to sentence mine and create Anki cards.

Using just ‘asbplayer’ gives nice side panel interface to subtitles.

You need to download the subtitle file from a link you find when inspecting the cijapanese page using your browser’s Developer Tools. Maybe the vtt subtitle file could be made more easily accessible (e.g., via download button)?

You can actually see a little tutorial on how to use it to create Anki cards at the following youtube link. This happens to be using a cijapanese video on youtube, the only difference when using videos on the cijapanese site is that you have to manually download the subtitle file and load it into asbplayer, as I said before.

Thank you for the helpful tips!

There is a VTT download button :slight_smile:

That’s great, thank you, I will use that download button. I hadn’t noticed it before; on my laptop display it’s right-aligned. I had noticed only the left aligned set of links, need to look around a little more.
