autoeditor.js

/* mpv integration with auto-editor (https://github.com/WyattBlue/auto-editor)
 *
 * The script will automatically attempt to load an analysis generated by
 * `auto-editor <filename> --export_as_json`. Alternatively, press "E" during
 * playback and the script will automatically invoke auto-editor for you.
 * The invocation options can be customized at the top of the script.
 *
 * Changelog:
 * == v2 (2022/02/01)
 * The script can now invoke auto-editor automatically with a keybind.
 *
 * Limitations:
 * 1. The video must have a constant frame-rate; variable frame rate sources,
 *    sources with frame skips will have issues.
 * 2. Only skipping is supported in this version. (speed != 99999 is not
 *    supported)

So speed-up instead of skipping is planned, isn't it? That's the only thing that I'm missing.
It would be nice to have auto-editor analysis step built-in into the script, since it's fast enough (at least for me), and then just bind it all into a shortcut.
Thank you again for this.

@barolo The script can now run auto-editor for you in v2. I'll implement speed-up at a later date.

I think auto-editor changed their output json format - the script fails to load with this error:

[autoeditor] TypeError: cannot convert undefined to object
[autoeditor]    at load (C:/Users/James/scoop/apps/mpv/current/portable_config/scripts/autoeditor.js:74)
[autoeditor]    at dispatch_event (@/defaults.js:52)
[autoeditor]    at mp_event_loop (@/defaults.js:760)
[autoeditor]    at run_script (native)
[autoeditor] Could not load javascript C:/Users/James/scoop/apps/mpv/current/portable_config/scripts/autoeditor.js

Looking at the json of my output files, "timeline" is an empty array, it seems the "chunks" array is moved to the root scope.

A quick fix is to replace all instances of content["timeline"]["chunks"] with content["chunks"], in lines 74 and 83.

@jamesWalker55 Thanks for the quick fix 👍
