## speed-transition 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. ### How it works 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. ### Usage For the script to work it is necessary to have an appropriate 'text' subtitle selected and visible. The script 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. **skipmode:** There is an alternative speedup mode called 'skipmode'. In this mode the video doesn't speed up, but it gets skipped till the next subtitle. It can be configured to skip directly to the next subtitle or in steps. To enable skipmode set `skipmode = true` and to enable direct skip set `directskip = true`. Key Bind|Effect --------|------ `ctrl + j`|Toggle script on/off `ctrl + alt+ j`|Toggle skip mode `alt + j`|Toggle sub visibility on/off (non-styled subs) `alt + '+'`|Increase speedup `alt + '-'`|Decrease speedup `alt + '0'`|Increase leadin (time before the next subtitle to return to normal speed) `alt + '9'`|Decrease leadin `alt + '8'`|Increase Look ahead (if the next subtitle is closer than this, don't speed up) `alt + '7'`|Decrease Look ahead ## subselect 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. ### Prerequisits 1. Install Python 3 2. Make sure Python is in your PATH 3. Linux: Depending on the used distribution installation of `pip` and `tk` may be necessary 3. Install subliminal: `python -m pip install subliminal` should do the trick ### Installation Copy subselect.lua and subselect.py into your script folder ### Configuration Changing the configuration is optional. Options: * *down_dir*: set the download path for the subtitles * *subselect_path*: set the subselect.py path * *sub_language*: set language for subtitles [default english]; value is a 3-letter ISO-639-3 language code 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 both *down_dir* and *subselect_path* and make sure they are absolute paths and do exist. The option to be changed can be put inside a `subselect.conf` file in the lua-settings folder. Create them if they don't exist. Sample `subselect.conf` if you want to change all options: ``` down_dir=C:\Users\\subtitles subselect_path=C:\Users\\python_scripts\subselect.py sub_language=deu ``` ### Usage 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`. ## delete-file 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. Key Bind|Effect --------|------ `ctrl + DEL`|mark/unmark file to be deleted `alt + DEL`|show the list of files marked for deletion `ctrl + shift + DEL`|clear the list of marked files ## copy-paste-URL 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. ## censor Skip over parts of videos you don't want (others) to view. **Usage:** Put the exact filename (w/o extension) of the video you wan't this script to affect inside the names folder. The file has to have an extension itself. Example filename "video.mkv" -> "names/video.txt". Timestamps follow the format "X+:XX:XX(.X+) X+:XX:XX(.X+)". First timestamp denotes beginning and second end of skip window. Sample is included in names directory.
