I preferred the previous version of Merlin. The updated version has removed several features. I no longer need to bypass ads before retrieving a YouTube transcript, worry about timestamp formatting when copying transcripts, or deal with videos lacking transcripts, as I could previously request Merlin to auto-generate them. The new version appears to have removed all of these capabilities.

Are you referring to these features? They are there for me. v7.3.2, Chrome

Endre issue is that transcript generation may work for some video but not all and it used to generate transcript for all videos even though they do not have subtitles, in the past

Daniel Got it! :) Truly there's no option for videos lacking subtitles to generate transcript for 30 Credits or something. Yeah, I back this question, that functions was useful. endu, anything to know? :)

Endre: Hey Daniel! Thanks for bringing this up! YouTube kept changing how we accessed videos to send them to Whisper, and every time we fixed it, it happened again. We’ll try to get something done, but it does depend on YouTube. Appreciate your patience! 😊
