–print_progress turns off live text output

[FrankBrettschneider]

I use is it on a windows server via powershell and pipe all outputs with *>&1 into a text file. I want to turn on the option –print_progress to animate a progress bar in my webgui for all the impatient users. But if I turn on the option, the live text output is missing. I can’t see the results live anymore. I could display the .vtt file instead, but it will be written only at once, if the job is finished, not continuously. Am I doing something wrong? Can you help me please?

PowerShell: turning on the otpions -print_progress turns off the live text ouput:

Is it also possible to get a progress status while the "speaker diarization" is running? The progress output only starts, when the transcribe process begins to render. But at first the speaker diarization (pyannote v3.1 with GPU) takes about as long as the whole transcribe process. So half the time we don´t have a progress update. With larger files, this may take a while.

no progress while pyannote is running:

no live text output:

Yes you are doing it wrong. It's not "live text output", the real output happens only at the end of the transcription. What you call "live text output" is just another fancy progress, it shouldn't be used as subs output.

No.

Thanks. I use the final .vtt file at the end of the process for subs. The "live text output" is used only for the impatient users, who want to see the magic happens. Sometimes the users transcribe files with a duration longer than one hour, which takes a while. It would be fine, if I could have both, the %-progress and the fancy live text output.

Another progress indicator appears in the title of the console window, so you can capture that.
Subtitle Edit does this, you can check its repo to see how it’s done.
