YTranscript

YTranscript 1.4.0

✨ New

• Search and Copy-all in the side panel. The header now has a search field and a one-click Copy-all button. Copy-all respects the active filter — if you've narrowed by search, only the matching blocks get copied. (closes #38, #44)
• Open transcript in a tab or split, not just the right sidebar. New "Open transcript in" setting with options: Right sidebar (default), Left sidebar, New tab, Split. (closes #53)
• Change the timestamp interval inline. A small "Every N" input lives in the panel header — re-groups the transcript instantly, no refetch, and persists the value to settings. (closes #60)
• More YouTube URL forms. The plugin now accepts /embed/, /shorts/, /v/, /live/, and youtube-nocookie.com URLs in addition to the previously supported /watch?v= and youtu.be short links. (closes #33)

🐛 Fixes & polish

• Clearer error when the URL is missing or invalid. Instead of a silent failure or a generic fetch error, you get a specific message before the request goes out. (closes #31)
• Side-panel UX overhaul. Restyled header that adapts to your theme, hover states on transcript blocks (so click-to-copy is discoverable), muted timestamp typography, and a sensible empty state when a search returns no results. The redundant in-panel close button was removed — use Obsidian's tab close instead.
• Match count while searching. When you filter, a small counter shows how many blocks match (and how many will be copied if you hit Copy-all).
• Timestamp links route through Obsidian's click dispatch. This restores compatibility with plugins like media-extend that intercept YouTube links to play inline.
• Stricter video-ID validation. URLs with bogus/short IDs are now caught up front instead of producing a confusing fetch error downstream.

🧰 Under the hood

• New getTranscript helper on the plugin so the fetch path is shared and consistently configured.
• Test suite grew to 73 tests, including coverage for the new URL forms.
