When transcribing short audio clips, the model may output a
single_timestamp_endingpattern (text followed by a single timestamp and EOT). Previously, this would advance seek by the full 30-second segment size, potentially skipping remaining audio content.This fix advances seek to the timestamp position instead, allowing transcription to continue from that point.
You can test this by checking out commit
9820718and runningwhisper/demo_seek_fix.pyto see the behavior before the fix. This behavior was specific to only one model variant in my testing.The test script can be deleted before merging.
