Core decks vs extensive reading

I updated my blog about that step but basically for your audio path it should be " file:///PATH " without the quotation marks. Firefox makes you work for it I guess   So besides changing the slash direction from C:\ to C:/ in your path, add the file:/// before it. Gomen for the confusion.

As for subtitiles, I noticed the timing is pretty bad in Kitsunekko. I recently had to edit the times for ep1 of shirokuma cafe. If you're interested in Drama, I found that d-addicts subs are usually timed well. I never had to edit timings of drama subs from there.

Hope this helps and again sorry for not adding that last part but it's in my blog post now!

EDIT: I didn't know about the .mkv files! That's cool. I never actually tried to use other files outside of what was listed in the blog post I read it from. Tbh I made my post because I had trouble reading the original blog where I found the tool and method from. Thanks for pointing that out!

While I like the idea of this whole thing, I'm having trouble seeing how much better it is to do this as opposed to just using Potplayer with its built in subtitle functionality, which largely covers everything this method does.



Just like with the .html file, you can pull up the subtitle browser and click to go to specific lines and hear them repeatedly. You can even adjust subtitle timings right there through the same interface. The main benefit of using the browser player is you have all your subtitles there in text form so they are easier to work with when/if you need to, but this also can be replicated to some extent with Potplayer. Like you see in the picture, you can set up a key-bind to copy the current subtitle to your clipboard, so it's just a matter of pasting it into a browser. I suppose you could also JGlossator it with that program monitoring your clipboard. Then there are clipboard managers that will save a history of all your clippings if you want to keep moving through the episode and come back to that stuff later.

I can see the browser player working better for someone who is needing to check a lot of the lines, but for people who only come across a few new words/phrases per episode then I think Potplayer would be easier to work with. It also has the benefit of having a ton of other functionality. Speaking of which, I'm thinking of contacting the developers of it and asking if they might consider adding the ability to simply right click on a specific subtitle in the subtitle browser and extract that as a .mp3 or something. That'd be sweet.
