TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script

📋 Changes

• Pass current headers, user-agent and referrer to worker-mpvs. Fixes network paths that rely on, say, cookies (#14)

📋 Changes

• Handle filter-chain changes properly (ie. don't assume `video-dec-params` changing means a new file) - #11
• Try to wait for workers a bit longer in case we have none when starting the jobs
• More `msg.debug` prints!

📋 Changes

• Improved thumbnail feel - read 2da8546 and #7 for details. In short, the thumbnail timestamp is adjusted slightly so that the visible thumbnail is not already a past event if seeked on.
• Allow hiding the generation progress
• Thumbnail vertical offset and background padding, user-configurable:
• Updated `patched_osc.lua` to match upstream (cache display changes), and patched in some newer helper functions for older mpv versions.
• Fix thumbnail jumping horizontally near seekbar center by using raw mouse position

📋 Changes

• Work around extremely long EDL paths (#8) when need be.

📋 Changes

• sha256.lua not working on Lua 5.1 (#6). Replaced with another sha1 implementation.

📋 Changes

• Hash overlong long filenames (urls). You can adjust the length in options under `hash_filename_length`, default 128 characters. #5

📋 Changes

• Logfiles for the mpv sub-calls. which are automatically removed on success and kept for failures.
• Some extra options for disabling the sub-mpv config or forcing a profile. See [`options.lua`](https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script/blob/master/src/options.lua) for all available script options.

📋 Changes

• *Multiple worker threads!* Read the updated [Configuration](https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script#configuration) or just read here:
• Display active thumbnailing jobs in the progress display (vague green):
• Allow disabling subtitles when using mpv for thumbnailing (`mpv_no_sub`, defaults to `no`)
• Optimize away unnecessary `overlay-remove`s (no real impact)
• Prefer mpv by default even if FFmpeg is in PATH (because of #2)

📋 Changes

• Thumbnailing network files/streams. Yes, like YouTube. It's slow, it may break on sites other than YouTube, but it's there.
• Fix giant font size
• Fix bad padding
• Fix a typo
