Aglish - YouGlish Widget for Anki

Anki add-on for YouGlish; a service that helps you learn a language in context by showing you Youtube videos containing a word or a phrase you want to learn its pronunciation, meaning, etc. YouGlish supports many languages and customizations of the interface. This add-on supports all languages supported by YouGlish and some customizations. Usage The add-on integrates YouGlish with Anki through a custom filter you put in your card templates (e.g. {{aglish:Front}}). Its usage is quite simple. Let's go through some examples:

• {{aglish lang=english accent=uk:Front}} This will show you video usage examples of the text in your Front field in British English.
• The video widget will be hidden behind a button by default. You can change the text shown on the button via the label option (no spaces allowed for now): {{aglish lang=english accent=uk label=youglish_english_uk:Front}}
• Alternatively, You can make the video play automatically by using the autoplay option: {{aglish lang=english accent=uk autoplay:Front}} Bear in mind that if you review a lot of cards quickly with autoplay enabled, you may get temporarily blocked or asked to solve a captcha. It's recommended to enable autoplay only when the main focus of your note type is the YouGlish videos, so that you won't go to the next card before watching a clip, or you will be just answering cards without thinking.
• You can combine Anki's cloze-only filter with the aglish filter to query only elided sections in cloze note types: {{aglish lang=english:cloze-only:Text}}
• The cloze-only filter only works on the back side, so this add-on provides a similar option (clozeonly) that works on both sides as a bonus: {{aglish lang=english clozeonly:Text}}
• The nocaps option is useful here to hide captions when watching clips containing elided text in the front side: {{aglish lang=english clozeonly nocaps:Text}}
• You can also change the widget theme using the theme option: {{aglish theme=dark:Text}} Available values are light, dark, and anki (theme used in Anki's interface, the default).
• The width and height of the widget can be customized using the width and height options: {{aglish lang=arabic width=600 height=500:Front}} The widget will expand to the window size if these options are not specified.
• You can enable "Restricted mode" to block potentially inappropriate content to be displayed (aka Kids Mode) by setting the "restrict" option, like this: {{aglish restrict:Front}}
• You can set hotkeys to trigger non-autoplayed widgets using the hotkey option: {{aglish hotkey=k:Front}} Only single keys work for now. (no combinations like Ctrl+K)

All options have default values so they can be omitted; {{aglish:Front}} assumes English in all accents, showing a widget in Anki's theme with captions. For a list of all supported languages and accents, see YouGlish documentation (scroll down to the documentation of the widget.fetch function). Watch this video for a demo of the add-on. Experimental Support for YouGlish login I've recently added experimental support to allow users to use their YouGlish account and premium subscription plans in the add-on. This is not tested. I appreciate if someone can test it with their premium plan and tell me about the result. To use your YouGlish account with the add-on, you first need to log in to your YouGlish account in your web browser, then copy some cookie values and paste them in the add-on's config under the cookies property. You can see the cookies by opening the developer tools of your browser and going to the Storage tab, then you will find a list of values under Cookies > https://youglish.com.
