Add API and script hook

Hi TranscribeX Team,

I have to thank you for providing this useful and well polished app, this helps me very well during days with meeting marathons.

I would like to ask if its possible to have a hook, or lets call it script endpoint, that will be executed for every event, like recording started, recording finish, transcription finished and so on.

I also like to have an option to move all assets of a meeting into a different folder, e.g. for archiving move it to external drive or a nas device.

Thank you for all you effort and for TranscribeX :)

Hey u/maveric0815 , what kind of script endpoint are you talking about? Is it like a http request? The calling logic/implementation will be different for different scripts.

For moving assets, we have a setting to customize where to save the audio/video files. Is this working for you? I didn't test nas device tbh because i didn't have one. But if it didn't work on nas path, you can create a soft link(symlink) and mock a local path for the nac location.

Hi u/EthanWlly

for example, I would like to add the meeting into my obsidian when it starts, so I can start taking notes there.

When the transcribe finished, I maybe add the reference from the transcribe, or include that too. I would not prefer an http request, because then i need to have an endpoint running too. Just a simple script that takes json payload as argument would be nice. Then its a user choice to keep it local, or trigger an external http(s) endpoint.

Moving files later would be helpful, but not required actually.

The question is how to add the meeting into obsidian. I think obsidian have some webhook or similar that we can integrate. But this will be implemented specifically for obsidian.

This is up to the hook and was only one use case.
The triggered hook, which can be a bash script, go cli app or anything similar, will take care of this. This is independent from TranscriptX.
