It works again in 2024 which is great! (Edit October 2024 not working again...)
The only bug I've seen so far is that the soundboard doesn't work for commentators other than Seirawan.
Also I'd like to be able to enable the sounds not just during games but also during analysis board and studies.
I love the hardwork and the idea behind it. I won't hold back five stars, yet it can always be improved. I have some ideas, but I don't understand programming enough to add to your work, it'll also require watching a lot of commentary of those GMs to cut off those audios.
