Hey all,

Some might remember this from about 9 months ago. I’ve been running it with zero maintenance since then, but saw there were some new updates that could be leveraged.

What has changed?

  • Jellyfin is supported (in addition to Plex and Tautulli)
  • Moved away from whisper.cpp to stable-ts and faster-whisper (faster-whisper can support Nvidia GPUs)
  • Significant refactoring of the code to make it easier to read and for others to add ‘integrations’ or webhooks
  • Renamed the webhook from webhook to plex/tautulli/jellyfin
  • New environment variables for additional control

What is this?

This will transcribe your personal media on a Plex or Jellyfin server to create subtitles (.srt). It is currently reliant on webhooks from Jellyfin, Plex, or Tautulli. This uses stable-ts and faster-whisper which can use both Nvidia GPUs and CPUs.

How do I run it?

I recommend reading through the documentation at: McCloudS/subgen: Autogenerate subtitles using OpenAI Whisper Model via Jellyfin, Plex, and Tautulli (github.com) , but quick and dirty, pull mccloud/subgen from Dockerhub, configure Tautulli/Plex/Jellyfin webhooks, and map your media volumes to match Plex/Jellyfin identically.

What can I do?

I’d love any feedback or PRs to update any of the code or the instructions. Also interested to hear if anyone can get GPU transcoding to work. I have a Tesla T4 in the mail to try it out soon.

    This is Awesome!

    I’d love to help out with this! I was starting to write something similar to add hooks to audibookshelf so that it can scan through audiobooks to generate correct chapters / timings also, but it’s better implementing this here.

    A good idea would to make the GPU / CPU transcoding a transcoding container, so that the main container can send out work to your gaming PC when it’s online etc and the main container has scheduled jobs that it can trigger on the transcode nodes when available, there’s lots of cool stuff that can be made, really fun project!

    Maybe we can create a discord channel for more people who are interested in developing this.
