-- This script uses the lavfi cropdetect filter to automatically -- insert a crop filter with appropriate parameters for the currently -- playing video. -- -- It registers the key-binding "C" (shift+c), which when pressed, -- inserts the filter vf=lavfi=cropdetect. After 1 second, 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. -- -- If the "C" key is pressed again, the crop filter is removed -- restoring playback to its original state. -- -- 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 delay between insertion of the cropdetect and -- crop filters may be overridden by adding -- -- --lua-opts=autocrop.detect_seconds= -- -- to mpv's arguments. This may be desirable to allow cropdetect more -- time to collect data. script_name=string.gsub(mp.get_script_name(),"lua/","") cropdetect_label=string.format("%s-cropdetect",script_name) crop_label=string.format("%s-crop",script_name) -- number of seconds to gather cropdetect data detect_seconds = tonumber(mp.get_opt(string.format("%s.detect_seconds", script_name))) if not detect_seconds then detect_seconds = 1 end function del_filter_if_present(label) -- necessary because mp.command('vf del @label:filter') raises an -- error if the filter doesn't exist local vfs = mp.get_property_native('vf') for i,vf in pairs(vfs) do if vf['label'] == label then table.remove(vfs, i) mp.set_property_native('vf', vfs) return true end end return false end function autocrop_start() -- if there's a crop filter, just remove it and exit if del_filter_if_present(crop_label) then return end -- insert the cropdetect filter ret=mp.command( string.format( 'vf add @%s:lavfi=graph="cropdetect=limit=24:round=2:reset=0"', cropdetect_label ) ) -- wait to gather data mp.add_timeout(detect_seconds, do_crop) end function do_crop() require 'mp.msg' -- get the metadata local cropdetect_metadata = mp.get_property_native( string.format('vf-metadata/%s', cropdetect_label) ) -- use it to crop if its valid if cropdetect_metadata then if cropdetect_metadata['lavfi.cropdetect.w'] and cropdetect_metadata['lavfi.cropdetect.h'] and cropdetect_metadata['lavfi.cropdetect.x'] and cropdetect_metadata['lavfi.cropdetect.y'] then mp.command(string.format('vf add @%s:crop=%s:%s:%s:%s', crop_label, cropdetect_metadata['lavfi.cropdetect.w'], cropdetect_metadata['lavfi.cropdetect.h'], cropdetect_metadata['lavfi.cropdetect.x'], cropdetect_metadata['lavfi.cropdetect.y'])) else mp.msg.error( "Got empty crop data.
