This is a lua script for the mpv media player. The purpose of this script is to speed up the video if no subtitles are visible for a certain amount of (user configurable) time. It is inspired by the [speed-between-subs](https://gist.github.com/bitingsock/47c5ba6466c63c68bcf991dd376f1d18) script.
The script looks for the next subtitle and if it is ahead by 5 (default) seconds the video gets sped up and resumes normal playback just before the subtitle becomes visible. This is done to prevent audio glitches when speech starts.
For the script to work it is necessary to have an appropriate subtitle selected. It's possible to hide the subtitles with `v` and still have the benefit of the script. To enable it press `ctrl + j` and to switch modes press `alt + j`.
It works best in `video-sync=audio` mode (the default in mpv), because it will then be able to minimize frame drops on speed transition from high->normal. Stutter-free playback is the result.
Sensible defaults have been set, but if you want to change the `lookahead` value take care to not set it larger than what the buffers can provide. This applies to embedded subtitles and not external.
The script supports two operation modes *speed mode* (default) and *skip mode*. In *skip mode* the video doesn't speed up, but it gets skipped (with delay) till the next subtitle. It can be configured to skip directly to the next subtitle or in steps. To switch between them press `alt + j`.
*skip mode* can be further configured to allow non-exact but fast skips. Disadvantage: it is likely that the the next subtitle gets skipped over. Therefore seek-back is implemented so the video gets seeked back just before the skip to aleviate this problem. In general leaving exact skips on (default) is recommended.
A lua script for downloading subtitles using a GUI and automatically loading them in mpv. It lets you input the name of the video but mainly tries to guess it based on the video title. Uses subliminal for subtitle download and Python tkinter for GUI. Works both on Windows and Linux (possibly macOS too?).
Right now it only lists subtitles from OpenSubtitles, but has the ability to search for the best subtitle which searches all subtitle providers.
Copy the `subselect` folder containing `main.lua` and `subselect.py` into your script folder. If you have previous installations of subselect where it was not inside the subselect sub folder, remove them.
Per default the script tries to download the subtitles into the folder from where the video is being played. Is that not possible it downloads them into your HOME folder, or in Windows into your Downloads folder. You may have to set the subselect.py path manually if the script guesses the wrong mpv configuration directory. If the script is somehow not working as expected, it is recommended to set *down_dir* and make sure it's an absolute path and does exist.
First invoke the script using `alt + u`, input a movie name, or use the one provided by the script, search and download subtitles. If you want to change the language for the subtitles append `;[3-letter ISO-639-3 code]`. So if you want to search for e.g. german subtitles append `;deu`.
As the name suggests this is a small script for deleting files played through mpv. You can mark a file to be deleted and can unmark it if desired. Once quitting mpv, the script starts the deletion process. This is platform-agnostic so should work everywhere.
The script can be configured to move files instead of deleting them. The default folder for the moved files is `C:\Users\<me>\delete_file`. To change the defaults create a `delete_file.conf` inside of the `script-opts` folder with contents:
Like its name suggests - copy and paste links into mpv with `ctrl + v` to start playback of a video. This needs an open mpv window like `mpv --idle --force-window` or a window already playing a video. Also the script utilizes powershell, so that needs to be installed as well.
