akiba resident JAV subtitlers & subtitle talk★NOT A SUB REQUEST THREAD★

Nice. Are you running the GUI? Apple Silicon?
Yes, M1

Man, I have to figure out my whole Python setup on my MBP M1-I can't seem to get it to use the right version for WhisperJAV. Great to hear it works though-gives me more motivation!
The Python version was the only thing I got stuck on. The current version of python doesn't work with it, so I had to install a previous version, but then it just worked. You still have to use the terminal to set it up (just copy and paste commands) but once it's installed you can use the GUI. It would be great if it had a full-blown installer but it's not too bad to setup and from then it just works. It takes about 1-2 hours to generate subtitles for a 2 hour movie for me, so far.

Excellent to hear it works on M1.
Did the installation script for Mac work for you? mac-os-install-script.sh
I don't have a Mac so I'm not able to test it.
It would be great to hear what problems you faced. I can try to work them out in next releases.

Just a quick update, I just did a guide for using WhisperJAV:

WhisperJAV User Guide


The guide so far includes Windows, Mac, and Linux usage. It doesn't include the colab and kaggle releases. Those notebooks are basically implementing the ensemble mode. The difference is that in Kaggle each pass runs in parallel on their dedicated GPU. In colab the two pass are orchestrated sequentially.

Could you please help me? After installing it on my computer, I couldn't find the shortcut for "WhisperJAV User Gui". Also, the installation directory doesn't have a GUI. Since I don't have a NVIDIA graphics card, I tried installing it at a cybercafe and it was the same situation. What could be the reason for this?

Haha -cybercafe, I like that :)
I suspect your installation has not been successful. Do you see a file in your installation folder called install log .txt? Please send that to me.
 
Yes that is the file. And it shows the reason your installation fails:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/openai/whisper/': Failed

The problem seems to be your internet connection. Your internet provider, or your firewall blocks github access. I'm guessing you're using a VPN. The vpn probably times out. Can you change your VPN?
Basically, I need to use a VPN to access the GitHub repository. If I don't use it, I won't be able to install it, right? And the speed of the VPN I'm using should also be okay, right?

Thank you very much for your help. I have successfully installed the CPU version and can now access the UI interface. I wonder if you are the original author. Could you please offer some feedback? Haha. Can the interface language be expanded to include other languages? For example, Chinese. Also, for example, if you cannot use a proxy VPN to access GitHub and cannot download the components, by default, it will not be possible to install them. Could you optimize this process by using domestic mirror websites for downloading, or, provide a download link on your GitHub, indicating that users should place the files in a specific folder after downloading? I am a loyal user of this tool and I have many requirements.
