Automatically add the correct image and audio even if the subtitles have advanced past while playing about mpvacious

but I'm unable to join the server currently.

Weird. Try this link https://matrix.to/#/#join:midov.pl. It should work on any client.

it will add potentially the wrong audio since the show is still going and the subs have advanced.

Yes. Normally you would pause beforehand.

Is there anyway to accomplish still what I'm describing?

Ctrl+N will create a new card with the currently shown sentence and the corresponding audio. You can fill the definition later with AJT Japanese or something else. Or you can join the card with another card that contains a definition with AJT MergeNotes.

When updating cards that have been previously created, mpvacious will look at the timings set in mpv. If no timings are set, it will assume the current subtitle line. So what you're suggesting can only be accomplished if mpvacious is modified in some way. For example, if you make it remember all the subtitle lines up to the current timestamp, and then make it so it chooses the right one. However, there are corner cases where this algorithm will yield wrong results, such as when there is a line that appears more than once in the subtitle file.

Correction, the anacreon script works the same way this does, apologies for the misinformation. Is there anyway to accomplish still what I'm describing?

Thank you, yes. Good to know it doesn't exist quite yet.

You're right. Yes, I think it would be nice for the audio line to match automatically even if it wasn't the exact same line, for the edge case when subs are repeated. I think this could probably be done with ffmpeg in the background to keep from disturbing the mpv session in progress.
