mpv-gif-generator for windows

A fork of the_honey's script found here. I added a functionality to create automatic screenshots every 10 seconds.

Requirements

• Windows
• mpv
• ffmpeg with libass enabled–as long as you're using the zeronoe builds you're good!

Installation

First of all, you must make sure ffmpeg is in your %PATH% and accesible via your command line. After ensuring this, clone or download as zip. Then, head to %APPDATA%/mpv/scripts and place mpv-gif.lua in there; if neither %APPDATA%/mpv nor %APPDATA%/mpv/scripts exist, you will have to create them. It's as easy as that!

Configuration

After setup, and if you wish, create a %APPDATA%/mpv/script-opts directory if it isn't created already and write a gif.conf file to configure the script. Here's a sample configuration file:

dir="C:/Users/%USERNAME%/Pictures/mpv_gifs"
screenshots_dir="C:/Users/%USERNAME%/Pictures/mpv_screenshots"
gif_rez=320
screenshot_rez=320
fps=10
