asbplayer website no longer captures exact frame
Before submitting an issue check out the common issues section of the README:
The problem only involves the mined picture.
On the website, using shift+ctrl+x to capture a moment and create an anki diologue, the picture is no longer the exact moment but a single frame for a set amount of time.
For example, I can only get 1 specific frame within 1 second, preventing me from getting the exact picture I want.
This was not the case at least a few months ago.

It seems this was addressed but I am still having this problem.

Is the problem you're experiencing that the 'manually take screenshot' shortcut does not work?

No, "you're right, it looks I broke the "current frame" behavior at some point. I've pushed the fix for that; let me know what you think." is the comment I referenced.
When I try to mine the current subtitle, the captured image is not of the frame I'm on. It is the frame at the beginning of the subtitle.
The "manually take screenshot" doesn't work either but I never had any need of it before now anyways.
@UmbralCosmos Unfortunately, I'm unable to reproduce the issue. Are you using https://killergerbah.github.io/asbplayer/ with the latest version of the extension (1.5.0)?
@killergerbah I am not using the extension. Just the website. Only use it with local videos.
@killergerbah It seems this occurs on some types of videos. I have 3 series in .mkv and this issue occurs in only one of them. Having subtitles or not doesn't seem to affect anything. Would you like me to send the video files?
I'm experiencing this exact issue! I can understand why you're not able to replicate it @killergerbah as this only occurs on some shows/files. I downloaded Legend of the Galactic Heroes season 1 from two different users on nyaa, and it happens on both, but not on the prequel movie. Nor on any other local files.
It's exactly as @UmbralCosmos is describing it, it captures the screenshot of the frame at the beginning of the next subtitle. EDIT: I am using https://killergerbah.github.io/asbplayer/ with the latest update, (1.5.0)
If i had a to guess the problem has more to do with seek imprecision related to the video file itself rather than asbplayer screwing up the screenshot logic
Ill look into it more but posting my hypothesis above in case it is consistent with your observations
I'm also having this issue but it started happening in the middle of a show so should be all the same type of file (I started watching Shirokuma Cafe and screenshots were fine but around ep 30 it started having this issue when the screenshot is from the next subtitle)
I also have this issue. For some exports I only get 2-3 frames to choose from. Some times these frames go before and or after the actual subtitle. This makes it hard to get a good image when mining that maches the card. I would like to see a more accurate slider that actually seeked the frames of the video if possible.
edit: after using it some more it also does appear that the images are of those in the subtitle after the one being mined. Jumping to the subtitle and using sharex works as a subsitution but is troublesome. plz fix this <3
I have the same issue with some 1080p files, it's late and "Screenshot capture delay" doesn't make any difference.
For what it's worth I did give this bug a good swing and I cannot figure out why it's happening for the life of me. Seeking the actual video displaying in the player seems to be precise, however seeking with the Anki dialog screenshot adjuster seems to be imprecise. This is despite the APIs being used being basically the same.
The "Manually take screenshot" shortcut does nothing for me personally. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way you use it is that you go to the timestamp that you want to capture in the video, press the shortcut, then click on the "Mine" button at the top right? Or am I using this wrong?
"Manually take screenshot" will only do something if you had mined something before. The shortcut will override the screenshot in the previous card.
So if you use Yomitan, how does this work? I've tried the following:
- Pause the video
- Scan the word in the subtitle with Yomitan and add it to Anki
- Click the "Mine" button at the top
- Click on "Update last card"
- Seek to the position that you want to screenshot
- Press the "Manually take screenshot" shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+V by default)
But nothing happens. I'm using the Firefox extension, so is this some kind of bug?
Maybe, can you take a record of what you're doing? That'll make it easier to understand exactly what is happening.
