Can't call method "generate_preview_link"

Hi, trying to get title to do its magic, getting the following error on a VTT file that I have downloaded from vimeo:

Creating directory /home/azureuser/serge/smartcat-serge-bootstrap/vcs/rev-transcript/vcs/.title/452659481.en.vtt

Most likely you don't have videoID parameter specified in your config.json file. Can you share the list of commands that you used, and how your .title/452659481.en.vtt/config.json file looks like?

You are correct, the videoID parameter is missing in the json file:

less .title/452659481.en.vtt/config.json
{
    "locjsonFileComments": []
}

I have a folder with vtt files pre-downloaded (Video is publicly playable, but for some reason the import wasn't able to download the vtt files)

Commands

title enable ./452659481.en.vtt

I guess I'll need to research this further, but meanwhile, can you try updating your config file to the following:

{
    "locjsonFileComments": [],
    "platform": "Vimeo",
    "videoId": "452659481"
}

(assuming 452659481 is the video ID)

Yes this worked! i was able to get locjson and meta files in the folder. I see that serge has a parser for locjson. So this should work. Now just need to figure out why the downloaded VTT file didn't work with the "enable" parameter.

Hi @iafan - should I create the .title/file.vtt/config.json file manually for now for the subtitle files? as I'm not sure why the import didn't work for me, even though its a public vimeo video.

[iafan]

Yes, please. Should be an easy step to do if import doesn't work. Just let me know if import doesn't work for Vimeo at all, or for specific videos only. I'll take a look at the core issue once I have some time.
