asbplayer

asbplayer is a browser-based media player and Chrome extension, used for subtitle sentence mining and video playing. asbplayer works on both video streaming sites and downloaded videos. However, codec support for downloaded videos is limited, and is purely dependent on the browser used.

If you are looking to create cards using downloaded videos, I recommend mpvacious.

Configuration¶

asbplayer's settings can be found here.

I recommend filling out the following fields as follows:

asbplayer field	JPMN field
Sentence Field	`Sentence`
Definition Field
Word Field
Audio Field	`SentenceAudio`
Image Field	`Picture`
Source Field	`AdditionalNotes`
URL Field	`AdditionalNotes`

Card Creation¶

To create JPMN cards with asbplayer:

Attach asbplayer to the desired video, or drag/drop a downloaded video into the asbplayer site.
Create the card with Yomitan
Capture the audio (TODO specific instructions! What default keybinds?)
Update the last card (TODO is this the exact text?)

Other¶

A common issue with asbplayer is that the SentenceReading field may differ from the Sentence field. See the FAQ on how to fix it.
You have to export the audio as mp3 if you plan on using AnkiMobile (iOS), or AnkiWeb.
