What's New
A list of new features in Media Extended v4
Media Extended v4 is a significant update focused on stability, core feature enhancements, and extensibility.
Key Features
Redesigned Player
The media player has a new, adaptive design that adjusts to different pane sizes. The controls have been reorganized for a cleaner interface and improved usability.
Screenshot Clipping
A clipping tool is now available when taking screenshots. This allows capturing a specific region of the video frame instead of the entire view.
Interactive Transcript View
Subtitle and transcript files (.srt, .vtt, .ass) can be loaded into a new transcript view. The view highlights text as the media plays, and clicking any line seeks the media to that timestamp.
Refactored Codebase
The plugin has been rewritten for better performance and stability, providing a more reliable foundation for future development.
Coming Next
The following features are under development:
Media Library
A central interface for managing media files and playlists.
Browser Connector
A browser extension to control media in websites directly in Obsidian.
AI-Powered Chapters & Summaries
Automatic chapter generation for videos, with summaries, integrated into the player progress bar.
Transcript Generation
Automatic speech-to-text for audio and video files.
Screenshot OCR
Extract text from screenshots using optical character recognition.
