Do you just hold the page open after upload and wait for it to update?

Yeah, there is a websocket connection and when the transcription is done it will update the frontend with the links to .srt, .vtt and .txt file downloads

Thanks. Does the queue position update through the websocket too?

Yeah it does, I think there's a bug with it for saying what your position is, but when the others are done it will start correctly even if the frontend shows like position -2 or something. There's 2 uploads in the queue atm so not bad

Thanks a lot for this. I've wanted to test whisper's usefulness for vintage movie subtitling projects, but haven't had such a straightforward, preconfigured opportunity. I promise I'll beat the subs into some sort of shape as long as the timings are at least vaguely alright, and not waste your money.

Hey, glad I could be of use. The problem with Whisper is that it needs a lot of GPU. Actually my Mac can't even use my GPU so right away I had to get it up on a server, but Whisper is so powerful and it's so amazing that it's open source I am surprised nobody did this yet. I could see them charging for it but may as well use it anyways, the other services are insanely expensive ($10/h?!) and I don't really like their UIs to boot lol

Nothing has come back from the two that I tried (one medium in French, the other large in Spanish), meaning no change on the page since I uploaded them an hour an a half ago. I loaded the page again in another tab, though, and after a few seconds "finishedProcessing" appeared under the form. I suspect that means something.
On Firefox 102.4.0esr, also uBlock Origin.

It's probably due to me rebooting to load new code, I will have a way to send a signal to the frontend to inform them but not implemented atm

I tried it again this morning. I'm getting all of the output properly this time, but it has hung partway through every time I tried.

It's me again. Ran it again, ran perfectly. Thanks for all of your work.
