SubMiner: Yomitan Integration for MPV

SubMiner

Integrates Yomitan and mpv - on-screen lookups, mine to Anki, and track immersion without leaving the player.

Features

Dictionary Lookups

Hover over any word and trigger a lookup to get the full Yomitan popup - definitions, pitch accent, and frequency data - without ever leaving mpv.

Instant Anki Mining

Create an Anki card with the sentence, audio clip, screenshot, and machine translation from the exact playback moment with one key press, click, or controller input.

Reading Annotations

Real-time subtitle annotations with frequency highlighting, JLPT tags, N+1 targeting, and a character name dictionary. Grammar-only tokens and particles render as plain text so you focus on what matters.

Immersion Dashboard

Local stats dashboard tracking watch time, vocabulary growth, mining throughput, session history, and trends. All stored locally, no third-party tracking.

Playlist Browser

Browse sibling episode files and the active mpv queue in one overlay modal (Ctrl+Alt+P) to append episodes, jump to items, remove entries, or reorder the playlist without leaving playback.
