mpv thumbnail generator script [windows]
Generates thumbnail previews for mpv.
Tested with shinchiro's compiled mpv only.mpv
If compiling mpv, requires luajit module.
Clone or download the repo and extract to ~/mpv installation folder.
Blank.bgra - placeholder 'loading' thumbnail.
thumbgen.lua - ffmpeg generator script. It uses mp.commandv("script-message-to") to pipe the stdout to thumbs.lua in a non-blocking manner.
thumbs.lua - main viewer script which handles the input and general behaviour.
By default the thumbnails should be generated anytime a video is shown. However this behaviour can be changed by editing the global variable inside thumbs.lua or by setting them in lua-settings\thumbs.conf in your mpv user folder.
[thumbdir] --The global thumbnail folder. [Only if cache is set to true]
[thumb_width] --thumbnail width. Aspect ratio automatically applied.
[offset_from_seekbar] --The offset y from the seekbar.
[y_offset] --Thumbnail y-pos offset.
[timespan] --The amount of thumbs to be created. IE, every 20 seconds.
[minTime] --The minimum time needed in order to check for thumbs. We don't want thumbnails being created on files less than 5 minutes for example.
[auto] --If true, will automatically create thumbs everytime a video is open. If false, a key will have to be pressed to start the generation. True by default.
[cache] --If true, thumbs will be saved inside the 'thumbdir' so that they do not need to be created again. If false, thumbs will only persist in mpv's memory. If you set this to true, then you must change the default placeholder thumbdir var. False by default.
