Show HN: YouTubeTldw: ad‑free, login‑free YouTube summaries in a flash

I made an open source, no BS youtube summary website that makes use of the tldw [1] python library to create really quick youtube summaries. The longer a talk is, the more ad revenue a creator gets. But we don't all have 40 minutes to listen to someone slowly edge around a point. This website has no ads, no login, and is 100% free.You can find the source code here [2].

I tried it with a Russian YT video and it did not work: Starting process... Processing URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtkgT6R2HtA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtkgT6R2HtA Error: Failed to get transcript: Could not retrieve a transcript for the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtkgT6R2HtA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtkgT6R2HtA! This is most likely caused by: No transcripts were found for any of the requested language codes: ['en'] For this video (MtkgT6R2HtA) transcripts are available in the following languages: (MANUALLY CREATED) None (GENERATED) - ru ("Russian (auto-generated)")[TRANSLATABLE] (TRANSLATION LANGUAGES) - en ("English") If you are sure that the described cause is not responsible for this error and that a transcript should be retrievable, please create an issue at https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api/issues https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api/issues. Please add which version of youtube_transcript_api you are using and provide the information needed to replicate the error.
