Shelfcompass Video Voice Translator

Changelog

0.5.2

• The videos list and a video’s dubbing screen load their styles and scripts again (lost in the 0.5.1 rename).

0.5.1

• Renamed to Shelfcompass Video Voice Translator; the plugin now installs as shelfcompass-video-voice-translator, which is also its text domain.

0.5.0

• Nothing is sent to dubanyvideo.com until you connect: the settings screen no longer fetches the price list on an unconnected site, and requests no longer carry the site’s address in their User-Agent.
• Dubbing, deleting a language, retrying, reviewing and previewing check permission for that particular video, so an Author can act only on their own uploads.
• The “Create a draft page with this video” button now works.
• Every option, meta key, hook, handle and class uses the dubanyvideo prefix. A site that ran a pre-release build has to connect again, and videos dubbed with it no longer show their languages; the audio and subtitle files stay in the Media Library.

0.4.9

• A Contact screen: write to us from wp-admin, with your account and plan already attached, or use the email address beside the form when the connection itself is what is broken. A rejected message stays in the box instead of being lost.
• When every language of a video is finished, you land back on that video’s own screen — each language with its player, its files, an edit that re-dubs it, and a delete — instead of a dead-end preview page. A failure keeps you where the error and the retry are.
• The video list sorts by name or by upload date.
• The audio switcher under the player is a menu rather than a row of buttons: a library with a dozen languages no longer wraps into a wall or scrolls the wanted language off-screen, and a phone gets the system picker.
• Admin screens and the player redrawn on one set of design tokens, with a dark mode that follows the visitor’s system setting.
• A balance of zero that came from a refused starter grant now says so — “this network or this site already had the free minutes” — instead of reading as a billing fault.

0.4.4

• Deleting the plugin now revokes this site’s key on the service and removes the plugin’s own options, so a reinstall starts from the connect step instead of announcing a connection the owner thought they had removed. Dubbed audio, subtitles and their attachment records are left alone — they are your media.

0.4.3

• Settings screen lists the plans, with prices fetched from the service rather than compiled into the plugin, the current plan marked, and the per-hour price derived from the quota. Cards in a row now share one width and one baseline.

0.4.2

• Settings screen: account, plan and balance as three cards, with what a minute buys stated outright (one dubbed language costs a minute per minute of video, transcription for review half of that, same voices on every plan) and a link to upgrade or buy minutes. Disconnecting moved to a quiet footer row.

0.4.1

• A balance of zero now says which zero it is: free minutes held back until the
  account’s email is confirmed are named as such, instead of sending you to the
  pricing page for minutes you already have.
• Plan names read as names, not as database values.

0.4.0

• A first-run screen that says what the plugin needs before it can dub anything:
  connect an account, then add a video. Activation lands there instead of on a
  screen whose only offer was an upload that could not lead anywhere.
• Every admin screen rebuilt on one layout — panels, headers and state pills that
  match across the videos list, the settings, the dubbing screen and the editor.
• The editor no longer loads its own copy of shared styles.

0.3.0

• Connect this site with one press: you sign in on dubanyvideo.com and approve
  the site by name, and the plugin fetches its own key. Copying a key between two
  tabs was the step people abandoned the setup on.
• The settings screen now leads with the connection — the account, the plan, the
  minutes left and the site it is connected as — and offers Disconnect this
  site, which revokes the key on our side. Audio already in your Media Library
  keeps playing.
• Free accounts get 10 minutes once, on connecting, so a first dub can be heard
  before anything is bought.
• Entering a key by hand is still there, collapsed under Enter a key manually,
  for an existing key or a site that cannot reach dubanyvideo.com in a browser.

0.2.1

• “Watch with the video”: a finished dub can be checked in the real player from
  the dubbing and review screens, before the video is on any page. Listening to
  the mp3 never showed whether the dub sits on the picture.
• The script editor no longer appears while a video is still being transcribed;
  that screen now says what is running and what comes next.
• Finished audio shows its length straight away instead of “0:00 / 0:00”.
• The shortcode accepts force=”on” to make its default language win over the
  viewer’s remembered choice.

0.2.0

• Reviewable dubbing: a video can be transcribed and translated first, then the
  transcript, timings, speakers and per-speaker voices edited before any audio is
  generated. Editing a finished language marks it out of date so it can be
  regenerated deliberately.
• The source-language transcript returned with every dub is now imported and
  offered in the player as the “Original” subtitle track.
• A videos screen with dubbing state, the cost and remaining minutes shown before
  a dub starts, live per-language progress, in-place preview of finished audio,
  and a “Dubbed video” block for the editor.

0.1.0

• First release: a videos screen with dubbing state, per-language dubbing with the
  cost shown before it is spent, live progress, automatic import of audio and
  subtitles into your Media Library, a Dubbed video block and a shortcode
  player with an audio language switcher.
