mpv-scripts Files

Video clock, multi-stereo audio-speed randomization (aspeed.lua), animated mask generator (automask.lua), dual animated spectrum (autocomplex.lua) & insta-cropping (autocrop.lua) for SMPlayer & MPV! Toggle them by double-clicking on mute (m&m). Pictures, videos & audio can be drag & dropped onto SMPlayer, to light them up. The scripts can be opened & options edited in Notepad (no word wrap). I use Notepad++ on Windows, & Brackets on MacOS. All free for Windows, Linux & MacOS. 🙂

To use on YouTube select Open→URL in SMPlayer. All toggle instantly if you disable the autocomplex.lua toggle_on_double_mute option. The mask vanishes or re-appears, along with black-bars & audio switches btwn ambient & normal. MPV has instant zoom, but unfortunately no scroll bar (to pan around with mouse, etc). Keyboard shortcuts only work if MPV has its own window (SMPlayer preference).

Example installation: In Windows extract all .lua scripts from mpv-scripts-v1.3.2.zip into smplayer-portable folder. Then in SMPlayer Advanced Preferences enter

--script=autoloader.lua

Then hit OK & play. Overall I consider playback smoother than VLC. In Linux & MacOS create folder mpv-scripts on Desktop. Then extract all scripts into it. Then enter

--script=~/Desktop/mpv-scripts/autoloader.lua

In Linux try sudo apt install smplayer or double-click the .AppImage. All scripts also fully compatible with .snap & .flatpak releases (autoloader.lua has more details). ~/ means home folder in Linux & MacOS.

Advanced: To run in Windows from Command Prompt, create a New Text Document in SMPlayer folder & rename it TEST.CMD. Also copy in TEST.MP4. Then right-click on TEST.CMD & click Edit. In Notepad copy/paste:

CMD /K MPV\MPV TEST.MP4 --script=autoloader.lua

Then Save it & double-click it. The command line shows warnings, etc. MPV pauses when text in CMD is selected. Linux & MacOS are similar. All these scripts can be run from CMD, PowerShell, etc. They do nothing but deliver scripted commands to MPV. But most ppl prefer an interface like SMPlayer.

Before running scripts it's safer to first check them in Notepad++. Ignore all comments (lines starting with --). Any code containing mp.command (media player), commandv, command_native, os.execute (operating system), io.popen (input output process), subprocess, etc, can do almost anything, in Windows. To inspect a script highlight those words.

autocomplex zoompan now has perfect sync (important bugfix), on YouTube too. aspeed now faster on YouTube, with many speakers/devices. Added options dual_colormix, dual_alpha, dual_scale, dual_overlay, feet_threshold_h, SHOE_COLOR & gb for neutral blue shade. Also extra 5% for Nyquist. Can also change video/audio track once inside SMPlayer. CALIBRATION waves mix into[ao]. Improved options & codes (e.g. ROUND_SQUARE in automask). Bugfix for automask MP3 cover art insta-toggle. autocrop now only uses 1 graph. 🙂
