Description
This add-on adds a new option in the Tools menu to open a video file with mpv and create subs2srs-like cards by pressing 'b' key.
A few minor bugs is yet to be fixed. Updating the add-on is a low priority at the moment, but if something doesn't work or could be added, just let me know.

WHAT'S NEW
2020-10-20 Support .ass and .vtt subtitles, in addition to .srt
2020-10-20 The mpv.conf was moved to user_files/mpv.conf
2020-10-20 Basic support for http(s) URLs (YouTube or any other site supported by youtube-dl)
Requires youtube-dl to be installed the same way as mpv or ffmpeg. In the add-on's configuration window make sure that "Use mpv?" is checked. To use it, just copy-paste the url instead of selecting a video file. If nothing happens in 5 seconds, it likely means that mpv can't play the url. Try to play it from the terminal with: mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1PCtIaM_GQ
2020-10-21 Add support for mpv 0.30.0 to automatically get the start time and the end time for the current line in the embedded subtitles
2020-10-22 Support opening multiple video files. The video files will be added to the playlist.

HOW TO USE
A simple sample deck - https://gistpreview.github.io/?d515535b80a3d8f0775989e0d83c8a3b
There's also MIA Jpn DX card template from How to Learn Japanese with Netflix + Anki by Matt vs. Japan.
1. Open the add-on via "Open Video..." option (Ctrl+O) in the Tools menu.
2. Select a note type.
3. Click on the gears icon to select which fields will be populated by the add-on.
4. Select a deck or create a new one.
5. Maybe change other settings.
6. Click on "Go!", open a video file and press 'b' key to create a new Anki card (or press 'w' and 'e' and then 'b').
If you're on Mac and audio encoding isn't working (no audio file appears in the collection.media folder or it'll be 0KB), try to replace mp3 with m4a for File ext: in the add-on settings.
ADD-ON SETTINGS
DEFAULT FIELDS
"Id" | Tangled_(2010)_00.26.43.226-00.26.47.019
"Source" | Tangled (2010)
"Time" | 00:26:45.395
"Line" | I was in a situation, gallivanting through the forest.
"Meaning: line" | Я попал в переплёт и, пробираясь сквозь чащу...
"Image" | <img src="Tangled_(2010)_00.26.45.395.jpg" />
"Audio" | [sound:Tangled_(2010)_00.26.43.226-00.26.47.019.m4a]
ADDITIONAL FIELDS
"Path" | D:\Movies\Tangled (2010).mkv
"Image (with subtitles)" | <img src="Tangled_(2010)_00.26.45.395_S.jpg" />
"Line: before" | Gesundheit, here's the deal.
"Line: after" | I came across your tower and...
"Meaning: line before" | Будь здорова. Послушай.
"Meaning: line after" | Увидел твою башню, а потом...
"Audio (with context)" | ...
"Video" | [sound:Tangled_(2010)_00.26.43.226-00.26.47.019.mp4]
"Video (with context)" | ...
"Video (HTML5)" | Tangled_(2010)_00.26.43.226-00.26.47.019.mp4
"Video (HTML5 with context)" | ...
"Video Subtitles" | [sound:Tangled_(2010)_00.26.43.226-00.26.47.019.srt]
If the field "... (with context)" is selected then audio/video will start at the beginning of the previous line ("Line: before") and ends at the end of the next line ("Line: after").
Video can be saved either in mp4 or webm format. Default fields saves video in mp4 format. To save video in webm format select the same field name but with "[webm]" prefix in it. Probably choose webm if you're on Windows and want to embed video in the card, otherwise choose mp4 format.
DEFAULT HOTKEYS
b - create new card
w - set the start time
e - set the end time
ctrl + w - replay from the start time
ctrl + e - replay the last ~2 seconds and pause
ctrl + r - reset the start time and the end time
If the end time is set, 'ctrl + w' will pause playback after playing from the start time to the end time.
Default hotkeys can be changed by editing mpv2anki.lua in the add-on's folder (Anki - Tools - Open Add-ons Folder - ...).
Maybe some useful mpv hotkeys:
left and right - seek backward/forward 5 seconds
shift + left/right - seek backward/forward 1 second
. - step one frame forward
, - step one frame backward
For more information about default mpv hotkeys please see Interactive Control.
USAGE NOTES
It might be useful to create mpv.conf with similar default settings - https://gist.github.com/kelciour/c6d4fe4042431052ab35e8137379f91a
For more information please see https://mpv.io/manual/master/#configuration-files
Alternatively, the same settings can be added to mpv.conf in the add-on's folder, i.e. Anki - Tools - Add-ons - Create subs2srs ... - View Files - mpv.conf
The add-on is supposed to be used with external srt subtitles that have the same name as the video file and followed by <language> code from the add-on settings screen. For example, if the video file is "Tangled (2010).mkv" and language code is "en", any of these filenames will work for subtitles: "Tangled (2010).en.srt", "Tangled (2010).eng.srt", "Tangled (2010)_track_5_eng.srt".
The add-on can be used with embedded subtitles too, but in this case it can only save current video frame as a screenshot, current subtitle as a text and audio/video clip by specifying the start time and the end time using 'w' and 'e' keys.
With mpv 0.30.0 it's possible to get the start time and the end time for embedded subtitles automatically (only the current line).
The current synchronization of the foreign and native subtitles is a bit sloppy and sometimes might produce unexpected results.
The add-on immediately creates an Anki card after pressing the hotkey button ('b'), but it may take a few seconds to actually generate images, audio or video. Usually, it takes less than a second to export a screenshot and audio clip, but it may take a bit more time for the video clip.
If there's an error "object has no attribute '_callbacks'" after opening the video, try closing mpv video player and reopening the video file.
If it doesn't generate any cards, try to check the fields' mapping in the add-on's settings.
This is the first Anki add-on. The second one is movies2anki - watch foreign language movies with Anki.

great addons! It's a bit tricky to understand how to install all the other programs that you need to proprely use it (for example it took me ages to understand that I needed to do the thing about environmental variables also for youtube-dl, which I still don't understnad properly), and to find youtube series with the captions that are ok for the addon to work with (for me that I study Chinese, series usually have embedded subs, so I gave up). Anyway great addon! Thanks for sharing you work! Hope that if someone uses it, will share the flashcards tagging somehow this addon so that other users may use them (for any languages) (just an idea for the tag: "subs generated flashcards")

This is, so far at least, the best way I've found to make flashcards from videos. I'd recommend trying a flashcard like this:
Use the mpv2anki-substudy-context flashcard type and map everything to the suggested defaults
1. Sound = Audio
2. Time = Time
3. Source = Source
4. Image = Image
5. Target Line = Line (this is language you're trying to learn)
6. Base Line = Meaning: Line (this is any language you already know and have subtitles for)
7. Target Line: Before = Line:Before
8. Base Line:Before = Meaning:Line before
9. Target Line: After = Line: After
10. Base Line: After = Meaning:Line after
11. Hint = Line (This goes to the front end of the card. You can then turn your flashcard into a cloze test if you later go and edit out one word from your target line)
When you're watching your show hit the "w" key and after 3 lines of subtitles are spoken you can hit the "e" key. Then just hit "b" and you'll have your flashcard. Videos are also an option (in place of audio), but that takes up more space. Just depends how many you want to make. With this method you can set up an anki deck that's just as enjoyable as watching the show. The repetition of audio is absolutely critical for foreign languages. Absolutely love how easy this makes it to make such complex flashcards that are so easily customized.

Thank you so much. Such a great add-on.
If you are on a Mac don't forget to replace mp3 with m4a in "File ext:" and the audio will work!

Can the image quality be adjusted? The video card I added is blurry on macOS.

Try updating Anki to 2.1.35 or 2.1.44 to fix the error: no module named 'typing'

Thanks!!! 🙂
This add-on is very useful for languages one knows quite well and needs to learn new words and expressions only once in a while during watching the episode or movie. For languages which one doesn’t know as well, mass import of automatically generated subtitles→SRS is a better approach, IMHO.
BTW, I opened two issues, requesting new features: https://github.com/kelciour/create-subs2srs-cards-with-mpv-video-player/issues?q=is%3Aissue+author%3Arwmpelstilzchen+

Why is it taking an entire paragraph per subtitle? Any way to just get a single sentence instead? Or could it be a problem with the subtitles
on
Great add on, helps me only add cards to parts of videos I want to save.
edit: The add-on works seamlessly with local files in almost every occasion ... just sometimes I don't know if its parsing the audio/video with the target language subtitle file or the native language subtitle file ... I hope it is target language ... other than this, the add-on is amazing.
I encountered a small problem when accessing online videos ... the card is generated immediately, but some audio/video files are not generated for some reason ... the card is there ... but the audio or the video file is not added to ANKI's media folder.
edit: thank you very much for the quick and informative reply. As for the first part: I was watching a German series with subtitles in German and choosing my target language as German and my native as English. In some scenes [happened once or twice per episode] it would over flow [generate a video that is a minute and a half instead of just 5 seconds] or cramp together 10 German lines in the "Line" field and one line in the "Line:Meaning" field. I tired to use the "w" and "e" in this case [wasn't able to generate cards using start and end [maybe I don't know the shortcuts by heart yet]] and tried reversing the target and native languages ... but I wasn't able to get it exactly ... at the end I thought to myself it wasn't so much occurring that I ignored it
as for the second part, I guess it might be heck up in the to-do list as well ... as some card generated half the sentence in audio and video [cuts all of a sudden in the middle] and some cards have only audio, and some cards don't have at all ... if it helps [I reviewed the cards by the order I added them, it was going ok with generated audio and sound files and at some point the new cards [from a later point from the video] didn't have audio and video files anymore] ... I checked, the card have successfully generated lines for the audio and video ... but the ANKI media file doesn't have the files themselves ... they are not generated ...
** I hope you find the time to take a look at this online part of the add-on soon ... it is a super wonderful add-on ... and I am so looking forward to having it work seamlessly with online videos, same as local files ... IT IS AWESOME ... I really can't thank you enough for the great work ... KEEP IT UP

Thank you very much for the feedback!
About the native language subtitle file, I'd need a little bit more info what happens.
About audio/video files, they're generated in the background and might take a few seconds, especially for online videos, but nothing was done to check for errors. It's on to-do list. Maybe, at first, edit a card to see if the field contains [sound:...] or not.
If the field is empty, it should be fixed now as the add-on was updated a few days ago to make sure it won't happen again, but maybe there's another bug somewhere.
If the field is not empty but no audio/video file could be found in the collection.media folder (Tools > Check Media reports it as missing), something might have happened during encoding and at the moment I don't have any ideas why it would work one time but won't work another time.
For now, it'd be probably better to use youtube-dl to download it locally and use the add-on with local videos. I'll try to add some kind of check for encoding errors, but I'm not sure when I'll have time for it, maybe over the weekend, but not 100% sure.

Best and simple sentence mining extension !

I'm on a Mac and the cards can be added without problems but the audio file does not appear in the media folder. Is there a way to diagnose it? I installed mpv and ffmpeg through brew.
----------
Thank you very much for the reply. It's now working well if I change the extension to m4a or untick "use MPV".
I also managed to grab the command that's been sent to mpv and I can reproduce the issue without Anki.
When outputting mp3, mpv puts this line in the log: "[cplayer] Disabling audio (not supported by target format).". But if it's m4a, it works well.

Comment from author before post was edited
Changing "File ext:" in the add-on settings from "mp3" to "m4a" should help.
Alternatively, unchecking "Use MPV?" in the add-on settings (to use ffmpeg for encoding) should help too (for local video files).
Otherwise, something like this could be done to try to reproduce the issue without Anki, but it probably won't be enough and I don't know what else could be done or maybe it's not something that can be easily fixed.

Great Add on! Can I change the create card hotkey from "b" to mouse middle button?

Thank you for the great add-on! Everything works like a charm, but unfortunately I keep having trouble with the audio clips.
I'm a Mac user, have the latest Anki (2.1.35), latest add-on version and latest MPV (downloaded with brew). I've also downloaded the sample deck. When I try to add a card the "Audio" field has an entry but no new clip shows up in the collection.media folder so no sound comes out of the card. I was having the same problem with Mpvacious. Please let me know if there's a way I can fix this. Thank you for all your work!!
---
EDIT
Thank you to the author for swiftly troubleshooting this, and just sharing this here for anyone who might be having the same problem: simply change "File ext:" in the add-on settings from "mp3" to "m4a".

5 Dec 2020: I appreciate your response. But, unfortunately, ONLY HALF PART HAS BEEN FIXED. Here is the screenshot: https://tinyurl.com/y2uqmefb .On the right side, you are seeing the mpv player. On the left side, the Subs2srs Card is being shown. As you can see, the subtitle IMPOSED on the image ["Image (with subtitles)" field] is NOT MATCHING with the mpv's subtitle shown on the right side. While the subtitle text ["Line" field] is CORRECTLY MATCHING. I can live with the fixed part. So THANKS and THUMBS UP in the end.
----
The 10 Nov release says "apply sub delay". But still, it does not work.
Edit: Thank you for great add-on. Unfortunately, it DOES NOT HONOUR SUBTITLE DELAY i.e. it still saves original subtitles instead of shifted subtitles.
Thanks again. THE ERROR HAS BEEN FIXED.
EDIT: recently found another problem IN LINUX: IT DOES NOT LOAD THE FILE ~/.config/mpv/input.conf. When I play videos directly from the MPV (without Anki), the file is loaded. Now I cannot use my own shortcuts.
EDIT: THE ADD ON IS WORKING FINE ON LINUX AS WELL. The author was super-responsive. (S)He updated the add-on the very next day. Thanks Again.
First of all, I want to give THUMBS UP for Windows-Version. This add-on just automated most of my work.
THUMBS DOWN is only to get your attention for LINUX. I updated my mpv player. But It is NOT SHOWING SUBTITLES ON IMAGES DESPITE CHOSING the"Image (with subtitles)" option. The SCREENSHOT RESOLUTION IS ALSO NOT WORKING. It has not any effect on the screenshot resolution.
Thanks again for your kind and great work and please improve this for linux.

Update 2020-12-05. Thank you. It's been fixed.

Update 2020-12-04. The sub delay should be fixed now.

I'm not sure, but it's working fine for me. I used Aegisub to add -5 seconds to external srt subtitles to make them out of sync, then open the video file with the add-on and used z, Z or x keys to add 5 seconds delay and sync subtitles with the video file, and pressed b to create a new card.
Ah, I think, I get it. Yes, saving subtitles using "Video Subtitles" will not work. I forgot about it. I'll try to fix it in a few days.

Comment from author
If there's no sound, you're on Windows and only installed the add-on, try to download mpv, add it to the PATH environment variable and restart Anki. Apparenly, the add-on doesn't work with mpv 0.27 that is packaged with Anki. I'll try to update the add-on this week to fix it.
If it's something else, could you elaborate a little bit or maybe upload your video file, e.g. at https://gofile.io or https://send.vis.ee/, and send me a link either here or by email kelciour@gmail and I'll try to reproduce the issue.

Still figuring this all out but is it true if I say that you HAVE to manually set a start and end time for your clip? It doesn't copy the start and end of the specific subtitle at that moment?
Comment from author
If the video file contains external or embedded subtitles (with mpv 0.30+), the add-on will be able to automatically get the start and end of the current subtitle, i.e. usually pressing the 'b' key should be enough to create a card with the current subtitle.

Is there any way to open a network stream link?
Comment from author
Thank you for the question and the upvote.
It should be possible now. It requires youtube-dl to be installed the same way as mpv or ffmpeg. Instead of opening a video file, just copy-paste the url.
There's no error handling at the moment and if nothing happens in 3-5 seconds it likely means that mpv can't play it. Running mpv <url> in the terminal should give the error message.

Good, add-on but for some reason audio and video don't work even after having installed ffmpeg and putting the directory in the Environment Variables.
If this add-on worked it would save me so much time so I really appreciate it.

Comment from author
I guess, the fields were mapped, i.e. after opening the add-on's window you clicked on the gear icon and selected audio or video, e.g. Front - Image and Back - Video.
FFmpeg installation can be checked with the Debug Console - https://docs.ankiweb.net/#/misc?id=debug-console
from distutils.spawn import find_executable
print(find_executable("ffmpeg"))
The output should be something like C:\Programs\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe, but not None.
The add-on should work fine without FFmpeg and I suggest to try without it by temporarily renaming "ffmpeg" folder, e.g. "_ffmpeg". The add-on will use mpv for video and audio encoding. Some recent mpv versions had some issues with encoding, but the latest mpv version seems to work fine.
Maybe temporarily rename "mpv" folder, e.g. "_mpv", and just install the latest Anki version (2.1.35). It can be installed in a different folder. This version ships with mpv and the add-on should work fine out-of-the-box.
If it won't work, I'll think up of something.

It's set by Anki. To change it, Tools - Add-ons - Create subs2srs ... - View Files - open mpv.conf in the text editor and add a new line with "ontop=no". There's no need to restart Anki.
I'll include it by default in the next update, maybe next month.

The add-on is working fine, but I have troubles with audio. When making a card, I can see the name of the audio file imported, but there there is no sound. I found the audio files in the anki media folder but all of them appear to be corrupted. Latest mpv version installed, srt files are properly renamed and placed in the same folder as the video. Hope it can be fixed! Thanks for a great add-on anyway!
Comment from author
Please install FFmpeg the same way as mpv, restart Anki and give it a try. If it won't work, please try with a different video file or maybe upload it somewhere and send me a link by email.
If you on Mac and didn't install mpv via brew, try to do it first. Maybe it'll make a difference.
- On Windows it can be downloaded from https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ and the Path environment variable is needed to be updated with the path to the folder that contains ffmpeg.exe, i.e. C:\...\ffmpeg\bin
- On macOS it can be installed using brew - https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/macOS#ffmpegthroughHomebrew, i.e. install "brew" and then run "brew install ffmpeg".

Fantastic! I use a Mac (installed mpv player via the Brew instructions) and it works great. Just make sure:
1. Your video file and subtitle file are named exactly the same, and are in the same folder.
2. Your subtitles are .srt (you can convert them if you're not). If you use .ass, the add-on will grab the image and subtitle text but won't grab the sound.
The normal subs2srs program doesn't work on a Mac even with Wine, and the videos I watch aren't on Youtube so I don't use Youtube Subs2srs. This addon is a lifesaver!

Thank you for the suggestion. I finally got around to add it and now it should be possible to select a few video files in the open file dialog.

For some reason there is no audio or video in the cards (I tried both), but the snapshots and lines work fine, so thank you!
Comment from author
It looks like you're using embedded subtitles (maybe in mkv) and the add-on can only extract text or snapshot but no audio or video.
If you have external .srt subtitles with the same filename lying around in the same folder, it should be possible to extract audio or video too.
I'll try to double check it maybe over the weekend and probably update the add-on to make it possible to extract audio or video using timestamps from the embedded subtitles.

it seems that no matter what value I enter it sends the full screen 1080p image
to the image field.

Thank you. That's really nice to know.
Maybe. It's at the top of my to-do list, but I don't know. I'm too busy this week and I'm not sure about next week either. It shouldn't take much time, maybe a couple of hours or a bit more or less, but as for now I don't know when I'll be interested and have enough time to do it. But it'll definitely happen sooner than later.

Does it differ from subs2srs, aside from being an internal add-on?
Comment from author
The add-on doesn't automatically create all cards in a batch like subs2srs. The add-on can only be used to create one card at a time. The add-on can be used without subtitles by manually specifying the start and end timings.
There's another add-on for Anki 2.0 that can create all cards in a batch like subs2srs - https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/939347702
