Hi HN! Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.

I know there are various tools that are supposed to make this easy, but I couldn't find anything that did everything I wanted, so I made this today for fun. The web-based offerings all take forever and seem flaky, and you need to process one video at a time, with no control over the transcription settings. In contrast, my script lets you convert a whole playlist in bulk with full control over everything. It's truly easy to use-- you can clone the repo, install to a venv, and be generating a folder full of high quality transcript text files in under 5 minutes. All you need to do is supply the…

Hi HN! Using Ctrl+F on YouTube Transcripts doesn't have the best UI/UX, so I built a chrome extension to inject a input search box that filters for any queries. YouTube actually has this feature for a few videos (ex: https://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAHbLRjF0vo) for years now. I'm not sure why they haven't rolled it out for all videos. I didn't want to wait. The extension will only inject it's own search box if the video does not already have one on YouTube. I tried styling it to look similar to YouTube's design. Indexing and querying rules follow the…
