Animocha

A simple dual-subtitle video player inspired by Animelon. Theoretically cross-platform with some tweaks, but I do not own a mac.

Installation

Go to the Releases page. The releases are listed with the newest release first. Click the Assets expando for the newest release, download the win64.zip archive, unzip the contents and move it to C:\Program Files (or wherever).

Features

• Dual subtitles with visibility toggles (and keyboard shortcuts J & E )
• A and W navigate by subtitle line
• Automatically pauses at the end of a subtitle line if mouse is over subtitles
• Concurrent subtitle lines (two characters talking at the same time, etc.)
• Resizeable panes
• Built-in, conjugation-aware dictionary (select text to automatically look it up)
• Change font sizes and whatnot
• Supports most codecs (including h.265 video)

With Thanks To

• FFmpeg developers
• hls.js: catches the stream output from FFmpeg.
• Jim Breen (and current custodians EDRG): For the JMDICT dictionaries!
• Birchill, Inc: it is thanks to some beautiful code that I took from Rikaichamp that lets us search conjugations.
• r/LearnJapanese: I basically owe all my Japanese that didn't come stright from a book to the amazing people who volunteer their time tirelessly for noobs like me in the ShitsuMonday threads: hadaa, lyrencropt, nanbanjin_01, yamyukky, honkoku, dabedu, tamag0chi, ketchup901, teraflop, seestas, morgawr_ . . . the list is long!

Scavenging Code?

The most useful parts would probably be

• video-server.js, video.js and associated files, wherein I implemented the ability to transcode a video file live while also allowing the user to seek. You can look in video-server.js to see some of the other methods I tried which in iteself could be educational.
