New Plugin: Youtube Summarizer

mehmet · February 14, 2024, 11:37am

Youtube Summarizer is a plugin that extracts summaries of YouTube videos. I have built it to address these 3 use cases:

Is this video worth watching at all?
What is discussed in this video with a bit more detail than in the description/timestamps?
How can I recap a video that I watched before?

Many thanks. I tried a nearly two-hour long Danny Hatcher video on Obsidian and it didn’t take all that long at all.

I’ll be even more thrilled when it can run a whole playlist of URLs… Please let me know when it’s ready:) Maybe using Make.com ? In your spare time?

Excuse me?

Hello mehmet,

This is a fantastic plugin!
What would make it even more valuable in my opinion would be to subscribe to channels and automatically get news videos with their summaries. I would def’ pay for this option!

Thanks a lot for this great plugin!

very curious to try this, but on any youtube url ‘generate Summary’ just gets me to an error

“Type error. Cannot read properties of undefined”

No responses to issues on Github so have to assume this one is dead in the water now.
