Video annotation not working on Windows 10 #351

Open rushowr opened 7 months ago

rushowr commented 7 months ago

@aladmit and @elias-sundqvist, I'm sorry to say it but it's not working for me. Steps taken before issuing this report:

  1. Installed Annotate plugin from within Obsidian
  2. Installed chrome extension per changelog info.
  3. Downloaded all resources from annotate.tv link given in changelog
  4. Uploaded resulting resources zip archive to Google drive and created a direct link.
  5. Configured Annotator with the drive link listed in previous step.
  6. Created a new note (unique, timestamp filename)
  7. Added the following frontmatter properties:
  8. Closed the note and reopened the note.
  9. Switched to annotate mode from menu.

Upon entering annotate mode, I believe I should have been presented with an interface similar to Annotate.tv's, but instead I only get the following message:

No Content: https://annotate.tv/videos/620d5a42b9ab630009bf3e31

You may note that the link provided doesn't even reference my annotation-target, is this part of the issue?

Obsidian version is up to date according to the updater as of the writing of this comment, and annotator should be up to date as well since it is a fresh install.

Did I miss something?

Hi @rushowr, I haven't wanted to touch the video annotation functionality because the current implementation is in the legal grayzone. Some good news is that it looks like hypothes.is has added support for youtube annotations now (https://web.hypothes.is/blog/exciting-new-feature-annotate-youtube-videos-with-hypothesis/), so I'll investigate what effort is needed to add this capability to the plugin.

It seems this feature is behind a paywall (but maybe the code is not ?).

Anyway there is a website based on hypothes.is providing this feature. Open source and everything. It is even presented as an example of usage on the hypothes.is website. It really seems like it could work well with the existing addon.
