not working

Looks like this add-on got snatched up by some ad agency. Just peeked into the new version's source code, and surprise! They've thrown in a bunch of analytics, data collection, forced logins, and even slapped on some "premium features". Oh, and did I mention it doesn't even work? Save yourself the trouble and skip this one.

It works but incredibly slow loading YouTube.

Fails to allow sign-in via Google

You should update your extension. Its been over 6 months.

Edit:
You made it paid only. What a sh*t extension. Do not use this. Use something else. This used to be free with an OpenAI key, they are now making BANK on the same thing. Do not use.

still broken, hasn't not been updated for 6 months.

This is a very usefull add-on. Thanks for updating it!

Great addon, but when I try to use the custom prompt feature I get:

Access blocked: This app’s request is invalid

You can’t sign in because this app sent an invalid request. You can try again later, or contact the developer about this issue. Learn more about this error
If you are a developer of this app, see error details.
Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch

Add-on does not do what is expected. Returns zero-value timecodes or technical notation like "title", "timecode" and, at best, in one of the settings regime, returns a transcript.

PS: maybe a malfunction if YT changed something

Doesn't seem to work. Either it has empty lines with time stamps or it doesn't do anything. Tried on many videos with clear English, where other plugins (on other browsers) were able to get the summary. This one was a hope it will work on Firefox but it doesn't.

This is the best extension for working with summarization on YouTube!
It even saves the last summarization for each video, DEV, I LOVE YOU WHOEVER YOU ARE.

This extension works wonders. Right off the bat, I don't even have to refresh my window, it just runs immediately. It just works. I tested all settings, and it did it. I know this is ChatGPT, but you have to thank the developer for making it work so well. I get drop down menus, time stamps, and, well, just, it's nice. Gave me a smile. Thank you so so much for making this, you are ducking awesome. One thing I wish though is if I could ask follow up questions to ChatGPT there, but I could just do that in a new tab. Still, I am flabbergasted that this extension only has 3k Users, as so many more people would LOVE this. Thank you!

// THIS APP Recently changed, it stopped working.

Hey! Really great app, well designed as well!

I only have one problem I'd say, from my experience everything works well except "Summarize video as a set of bullet points", it usually picks most bullet points at the beginning of the video so it doesn't do a good job of actually covering the full video. I suspect that this is due to ChatGPT being really poor at counting, dividing arbitrary lengths and similar tasks.
I expect that at the moment this is done through prompt engineering, I'd like to propose a different way that I feel like would be more effective.
Algorithm (Setting: 5 bullet points) :
1. Grab the whole transcript (example video length 10 minutes)
2. Divide transcript into (10 minutes / 5 bullet points) 5 chunks each 2 minutes long.
3. Provide the chunk to ChatGPT to summarize, in theory we could also add previous chunks for context but specify that we only want to summarize a chunk that is in quotation marks ("").

I think this would provide a more consistent summary of the whole video. Also, it would be great to be able to do one custom prompt without logging in, because google login doesn't work for me atm. Anyways, I really appreciate your work, good job!

good

still not working

This is a fantastic Add on. The only one problem is, it can not make a summary following the Chapters in the description of the video. It would be perfect like that.

this is a very great tool i use it every day , to bad export to pdf doesn't work, hope to fix it soon.

UPDATE: JAN 2024
I am struggling to get this to work just lately. Anyone having same issues? I see the summary box, but when i click it, it just remains blank?

UPDATE: JULY 2023
As adivised by the author. if you use it with ChatGPT3.5 model it is great. But currently (as of July 9 2023) still does not work with ChatGPT V4. And this is not the authiors fault. Its the way openAI are managing API requests. But it does mean that you are stuck with 3.5 summaries currently. Rating gone up to a 3*** for me.

JUNE 2023

This extension was working perfectly, and was my prefered summarizer. 4 stars. But in past couple of weeks I now get this fail message below.

Unable to summarize this video.
Error is: {"detail":"Our systems have detected unusual activity from your system. Please try again later."}

So my 4 star review has changed to a 1 star based on it no longer works for me. If anyone knows why its doing this current error, let me know.
