I did something similar for myself using mpv's scripting interface (for Japanese immersion).

I can press a button and have the current subtitle analyzed for words with mecab, or press another button and have audio + screenshot + text sent to Anki for review.

mpv allows to seek previous/next subtitle, so even relistening a particular phrase is really convenient.

It makes language learning really fun.

The audio + screenshot + text sent to Anki for review script sounds awesome as well as the current subtitle analysis. Can you share these?

Indeed, you get high quality in context cards, something that is still missing from most Anki decks.

The code is here https://github.com/pigoz/mpv-nihongo, keep in mind that a lot of stuff is hardcoded, poorly documented, and it requires an mpv patch to work.

If there's enough interest, I can try and make it simple for someone that's not me to use.

Awesome. I'd be interested in adopting it to use for French!
