Automatic subtitle detect popup not displaying what is actually happening.
I have been on a wild goose chase for some time now, and it is wholly down to the popup gui for automatic subtitle detection not telling me what it is doing.
Kdenlive is configured to use Whisper to do speech to text.
Whisper got an update, and unbeknownst to me, this invalidated the models that Whisper uses to do the speech detection. There certainly was no message from Kdenlive that this was the case, and when whisper is run from the command line it runs without issue with the older models.
When trying to do speech to text, the popup message shows this:
There is absolutely no indication that the current speech model was invalid, no indication that it is downloading something rather than actually detecting speech, nothing.
This led me to believe that there was something wrong with Whisper, and I spent a lot of effort trying to fix that.
Could we please have this popup be a little more informative about the steps that it is going through, especially when it is downloading things, or when it encounters issues, even though they are automatically handled?
