--[[ This script uses the lavfi cropdetect filter to automatically insert a crop filter with appropriate parameters for the currently playing video. It will automatically crop the video, when playback starts. Also It registers the key-binding "C" (shift+c). You can manually crop the video by pressing the "C" (shift+c) key. If the "C" key is pressed again, the crop filter is removed restoring playback to its original state. The workflow is as follows: First, it inserts the filter vf=lavfi=cropdetect. After (default is 1) seconds, it then inserts the filter vf=crop=w:h:x:y, where w,h,x,y are determined from the vf-metadata gathered by cropdetect. The cropdetect filter is removed immediately after the crop filter is inserted as it is no longer needed. Since the crop parameters are determined from the 1 second of video between inserting the cropdetect and crop filters, the "C" key should be pressed at a position in the video where the crop region is unambiguous (i.e., not a black frame, black background title card, or dark scene). The default options can be overridden by adding script-opts-append=autocrop-= into mpv.conf List of available parameters (For default values, see ): auto: bool - Whether to automatically apply crop at the start of playback. If you don't want to crop automatically, set it to false or add "script-opts-append=autocrop-auto=no" into mpv.conf. auto_delay: seconds - Delay before starting crop in auto mode. You can try to increase this value to avoid dark scene or fade in at beginning. Automatic cropping will not occur if the value is larger than the remaining playback time. detect_limit: number[0-255] - Black threshold for cropdetect. Smaller values will generally result in less cropping. See limit of https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#cropdetect detect_round: number[2^n] - The value which the width/height should be divisible by. Smaller values ​​have better detection accuracy. If you have problems with other filters, you can try to set it to 4 or 16. See round of https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#cropdetect detect_min_ratio: number[0.0-1.0] - The ratio of the minimum clip size to the original. If the picture is over cropped or under cropped, try adjusting this value. detect_seconds: seconds - How long to gather cropdetect data. Increasing this may be desirable to allow cropdetect more time to collect data. suppress_osd: bool - Whether the OSD shouldn't be used when filters are applied and removed. --]] require "mp.msg"
