mvp2anki

Overview

Inspired by subs2srs this script lets mpv users quickly creates notes for Anki from sound or video fragments with minimal dependencies.

Requirements

• Linux (Windows might work, but is not officially supported)
• Anki
• The AnkiConnect plugin
• curl (you should already have this)

Installation

1. Save mpv2anki.lua in the mpv script folder (~/.config/mpv/scripts/).
2. Set the path to where Anki saves its media files in the config file (See Options below).

Usage

• Open a file in mpv and press shift+f to open the script menu.
• Make sure Anki is also open.
• Follow the onscreen instructions.
• To disable audio/snapshots/subtitles simply do not enter a value.
• Double pressing removes the current value.
• e to open the Anki add card dialog box with the entered values or shift+e to add directly.

Options

Save as mpv2anki.conf in your script-opts folder (usually ~/.config/mpv/script-opts/)

# This is the only required value. replace "user" and "profile" with your own.
# This must be an absolute path. '~' for home dir will NOT work
media_path=/home/user/.local/share/Anki2/profile/collection.media/
