New plugin, YouTube transcript fetcher is availabe
YouTube transcript fetcher is now available through BRAT

Given a Youtube url, this plugin will extract a transcript and save it to a note. By default the current note is used, but by checking the approptiate checkbox, a new note is created with the name of the video as the document name.

If an OpenAPI/Claude/Gemini key is configured in the plugin settings, the transcript will be cleaned up using a configurable model. It is possible to fine-tune the accompanying prompt in plugin settings.

I have tested this on linux and android. Testing on other platforms through BRAT will be appreciated. Any and all feedback is appreciated.
