--[[ This script uses the lavfi cropdetect filter and the video-crop property to automatically crop the currently playing video with appropriate parameters. It automatically crops the video when playback starts. You can also manually crop the video by pressing the "C" (shift+c) key. Pressing it again undoes the crop. The workflow is as follows: First, it inserts the cropdetect filter. After (default is 1) seconds, it then sets video-crop based on the vf-metadata values gathered by cropdetect. The cropdetect filter is removed after video-crop is set as it is no longer needed. Since the crop parameters are determined from the 1 second of video between inserting the cropdetect filter and setting video-crop, 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). If non-copy-back hardware decoding is in use, hwdec is temporarily disabled for the duration of cropdetect as the filter would fail otherwise. These are the default options. They can be overridden by adding script-opts-append=autocrop-= to mpv.conf. --]] local options = { -- Whether to automatically apply crop at the start of playback. If you -- don't want to crop automatically, add -- script-opts-append=autocrop-auto=no to mpv.conf. auto = true, -- Delay before starting crop in auto mode.
