I seem to be having an issue where most of the time I load ASB player on a youtube video the subtitles don't synch with the audio. I've tried to play around with some settings and it doesn't seem to fix the desync issues. I would appreciate any help.
Had a little trouble figuring out how to get things working like I wanted but it was worth the effort. Great extension!
It‘s really the best extention for anki I've ever seen!!!
But also when mining on youtube, it seems that the recording ends several milliseconds ahead of the cutting ponit.
After I set the cutting point and hit the white dot at right of the audio field, it starts to record and I hear the audio exactly I need. But opening the card on anki, I just find the audio is imcomplete, so that everytime when I am mining, I need to give sevral more milliseconds and check every time to make sure the last few words are included. It is also a liitle bit difficult to measure and often include some words in the next sentence. Whereas, the starting ponit always mathes the the setting. (I set both Audio Padding End and Start as 0)
I would really appreciate if you could help to fix the issue or kindly ponit our some setting mistakes I made. Once again, this is really amazing extention!!!!!!!!!!!
