This plugin integrates OpenAI's ChatGPT API (or compatible models) into PotPlayer for real-time, context-aware subtitle translation, enhancing the viewing experience by overcoming language barriers. It's designed for PotPlayer users who watch foreign language content and desire more accurate, nuanced translations than traditional tools offer.

How It Works

The plugin is built using AngleScript, leveraging both the PotPlayer API for deep integration and the ChatGPT API for translation. This approach allows for context-aware translation, understanding idioms and cultural references, which is a significant improvement over literal translations. It supports any AI model with an OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Fully automatic via an installer (installer.exe) or manual by copying .as and .ico files to PotPlayer's Extension directory.
• Prerequisites: PotPlayer, OpenAI API key (if not using a local or keyless API).
• Configuration: Set up via PotPlayer's Preferences (F5) under Extensions > Subtitle translation, specifying model name, API URL, API key, and languages.
• Docs: https://github.com/Felix3322/PotPlayer_ChatGPT_Translate
