requirements

• ffmpeg
• mpv
• yt-dlp
• whisper.cpp
• pre-compiled binaries for windows users can be found here
• if you have an nvidia gpu I highly recommend using the cublas version (requires cuda)
• compiling with vulkan support is also possible as a cross-vendor solution
• whisper model
• whisper.lua (haven't tested on windows, but it should work fine)

method

1. install the required programs and add them to your PATH
2. identify the appropriate mpv config location for your operating system
3. create a directory called scripts in the config location and save whisper.lua to it
4. open whisper.lua in a text editor and locate the WHISPER_CMD variable
5. edit the variable so that the executable name matches the one you downloaded
6. edit the variable so that the -m option points to the whisper model file you downloaded
7. open a video with mpv, pause it and wait for the cache to fill up to 20-30 seconds (use i to view the cache status)
8. unpause and use shift+w to run whisper.lua
