mpv-scripts Files

Multi-stereo audio randomization aspeed.lua, animated mask automask.lua, animated dual spectrum autocomplex.lua, insta-cropping autocrop.lua & video-clock 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. Also fully compatible with YouTube (Open→URL in SMPlayer). 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. For mask insta-toggle on YouTube hit F2. 🙂

Example installation: In Windows extract all .lua scripts from mpv-scripts-v1.3.zip & copy/paste them into smplayer-portable folder. Then in SMPlayer Advanced Preferences enter

--script=autoloader.lua

Then hit OK & play. Overall I consider playback smoother than VLC.

However it's safer to first check all scripts in Notepad++ to check they are safe. Ignore all comments. Any line of code containing mp.command (media player), commandv, command_native, io.popen (input output), os.execute (operating system), subprocess, etc can do almost anything, in Windows. To inspect a script highlight those words.

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.txt in SMPlayer folder, along with TEST.MP4 (video). Then in Notepad enter:

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

Rename the document TEST.CMD. Then double-click it. Other MP4 can be drag & dropped directly onto MPV, too. I prefer SMPlayer, which embeds MPV inside it.

autocomplex.lua now has dual complex & freqs_win_func options. aspeed.lua now has insta-toggle, along with autocrop.lua & automask.lua, but not autocomplex.lua. aspeed.lua also has option for left channel primary. Smooth-cropping no longer supported (too much lag with the dual complex). What's smoother overall is insta-cropping. autocrop-smooth.lua is separate script.

The screenshot may vary over time, but not the .zip (SHA256 7C3EAAB75AF49531E97058082216B39132AE252AA281F7B1F5220C37396A6E0E).
