v1.1.2

Fork release of m4bmaker-filter. Adds in-app guidance for the language filter's one external requirement.

Added

• Missing whisper-cli is now caught at the Transcript step. pip doesn't install whisper-cli, so a fresh install used to work until Transcribe and only then fail. When it isn't found, the Transcript step's model chooser shows an install banner and keeps Continue disabled until it is. macOS shows the verified Homebrew command (brew install whisper-cpp) with a Copy button; Windows and Linux show an "Open releases page" button and a note that those platforms are untested. A Re-check button picks up an install without restarting the app. The banner isn't shown when reusing a saved transcript, which doesn't need whisper-cli. The Model Manager's engine label and the Transcribe error now carry the same install hint. (ADR-0056)

Changed

• README: the whisper-cli section now describes the banner.

Fixed

• A test assumed a POSIX process check on Windows and failed there; it now pins the platform.

Install

pip install -U m4bmaker-filter

Also on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/m4bmaker-filter/1.1.2/

whisper-cli (whisper.cpp) is still installed separately; see the README. Signed macOS/Windows installers are not built for this fork; the attached files are the same wheel and source distribution published to PyPI.

v1.1.1.post1

Documentation-only release of the m4bmaker-filter fork; no code changes since 1.1.1.

Changed

• README: added a "Language filter: install whisper-cli" section. pip does not install whisper-cli, which the language filter's transcription step needs.
• README: added a note that Python 3.11+ is required, since pip on an older Python reports No matching distribution found rather than a version error.
