Assume these are compatible only with Unix-like systems by default; examination of the code will often suggest relatively minor modifications needed to support Windows. If this is relevant to your use case, feel free to open an issue or pull request.

Scripts

mpvclip

Clip sections of video with ffmpeg. Allows choosing CRF/two-pass target size, with sensible defaults.

Key binding: clip-ab, by default mapped to c.

get_subtitle

Copy the text of the current subtitle line to the clipboard or open it in the browser (useful for integration with eg. Yomitan).

The clipboard part relies on xclip to function. Opening in the browser uses xdg-open.

Note that to get Yomitan to work for file:// URLs in Firefox, you should give it the "Access local files on your computer" permission in extension settings.

Key bindings:

• copy-subtitle, by default mapped to g.

• open-subtitle-in-browser, by default mapped to ctrl+g.

savepoints

Save the current video timestamp to disk, and easily jump between all savepoints set for a particular video.

Key bindings:

• add-savepoint, by default mapped to a.

• jump-to-savepoint, by default mapped to ctrl+a.
