Cuda detection

[lockmeister]

Thank you for your great work. The quality of the transcriptions is great. I just wanted to share with you that the cuda detection did not work for me because it is based on looking for an installation that used Anaconda. I modified your function so that it would find cuda installations in some common situations, such as mine.

def get_cuda_toolkit_path():
# Check for common CUDA toolkit installation directories
common_paths = [
'/usr/local/cuda/bin',
'/usr/local/cuda-*/bin',
]

# Look for nvcc in common paths
for path in common_paths:
    cuda_paths = glob.glob(path)
    if cuda_paths:
        # Return the first matching path
        return cuda_paths[0]

# As a fallback, use the 'which' command to find the nvcc binary
nvcc_path = os.popen('which nvcc').read().strip()
if nvcc_path:
    # Return the directory containing the nvcc binary
    return os.path.dirname(nvcc_path)

# If the CUDA toolkit path is still not found, return None
return None

Cool, thanks, I'll try to merge this into the existing function so it will first try Anaconda, then try these other places.

i think i have the same problem. What should i do exactly. Im not a coder. Heres my Error text: CUDA Toolkit Path: None CUDA not available. Using CPU for transcription .

I can only find the Audio Files not the transcripts.

Many thanks in advance

It doesn’t need CUDA, it can work fine on the CPU. You should read all the documentation and if you still don’t understand it, ask ChatGPT. This tool is intended for people who know Python.

ok thx. i already did. The only problem ist that the transcripts dont get downloaded only the audios. But i think i already found a other solution. Thx for your time !
