What's New in v0.3.0

This release integrates valuable contributions from the community fork by @vfilon, bringing major new features including support for 1800+ video platforms and production-ready NGINX reverse proxy with SSL/TLS.

🎬 Universal Media URL Support (1800+ Platforms)

The headline feature expands OpenTranscribe far beyond YouTube:

Supported Platforms:

  • Primary (Best Support): YouTube, Dailymotion, Twitter/X
  • Secondary: Vimeo (public only), TikTok (variable), and 1800+ more via yt-dlp

Features:

  • Dynamic source platform detection from yt-dlp metadata
  • User-friendly error messages for authentication-required platforms
  • Platform guidance for common issues (Vimeo login, Instagram restrictions, etc.)
  • Updated UI with "Supported Platforms" section and limitations warning

Note: Authentication is not currently supported. Videos requiring login will fail with helpful error messages guiding users to publicly accessible alternatives.

🔐 NGINX Reverse Proxy with SSL/TLS

This release closes #72, enabling browser microphone recording on remote network access:

  • docker-compose.nginx.yml overlay for production deployments
  • Full SSL/TLS configuration with HTTP → HTTPS redirect
  • WebSocket proxy support for real-time updates
  • 2GB file upload support for large media files
  • Flower dashboard and MinIO console accessible through NGINX
  • Self-signed certificate generation script

🔧 Critical Bug Fixes: UUID/ID Standardization

Comprehensive fix for UUID/ID handling across 60+ files:

Issues Fixed:

  • Speaker recommendations not showing for new videos
  • Profile embedding service returning wrong ID type
  • Inconsistent ID handling between backend and frontend
  • Comment system UUID issues
  • Password reset flow problems

🏗️ Infrastructure Improvements

GPU Configuration:

  • Separated into optional docker-compose.gpu.yml overlay
  • Better cross-platform support (macOS, CPU-only systems)
  • Auto-detection in opentr.sh script

Task Management:

  • Task status reconciliation before marking files as stuck
  • Multiple timestamp fallbacks for better reliability
  • Auto-refresh analytics when segment speaker changes

LLM Service:

  • Ollama context window configuration (num_ctx parameter)
  • Model-aware temperature handling
  • Better logging with resolved endpoint info

🌐 i18n Updates

All 7 supported languages have been updated:

  • Notification text changed from "YouTube Processing" to "Video Processing"
  • New media URL description and platform limitation strings
  • Updated recommended platforms list
