  * This script can be used to skip all silent parts while watching

  * a video. I made this during the COVID-19 pandemic because all

  * my courses were being taught online. I noticed that up to a third

  * of what I "watched" was actually silence, which I could skip,

  * saving me a lot of time. However, doing this manually is error-

  * prone and not very convenient.

  *

  * The way this works is actually kind of a hack: It uses ffmpeg's

  * detectsilence filter, but that doesn't give reliable results as to

  * how much I can skip. So when you activate this script, it rapidly

  * goes over the entire video, storing all silent parts in a Lua table.

  * (Which, should you be somebody that thinks Lua tables are incredibly

  * weird, they're definitely not). After that, it returns to the point

  * where it was called, and resumes playback. When a silent part pops up,

  * the data is retrieved from the table, and the silence is skipped

  * immediately. I had to do it this way, because there was literally no

  * other way to do this, except for writing a custom ffmpeg filter, but

  * let's not resort to radicalism.

  * The default keybind is F3, but change that to your liking below. 

  * You can change this by adding

  * the following line to your input.conf:

  *     KEY script-binding skip-to-silence

  * 

  * In order to tweak the script parameters, you can place the

  * text below, between the template markers, in a new file at

  * script-opts/skiptosilence.conf in mpv's user folder. The

  * parameters will be automatically loaded on start.

  *

*** FUCKING USEFUL INFORMATION FOR WORKING WITH THE SILENCEDETECT FILTER

This filter fires a string at TWO moments:

1. When the silence starts

2. The frame after the silence ends

The first time, it sends a message like this:

{"lavfi.silence_start":"1095.34"}

The second time, it sends like this:

{"lavfi.silence_start":"1095.34","lavfi.silence_end":"1101.16","lavfi.silence_duration":"5.81419"}

Notice how the start tag has remained the same, but there are two tags that have been added:

The duration and the end tag.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Because the next time a silence is detected, it sends this shit out:

{"lavfi.silence_start":"1102.37","lavfi.silence_end":"1101.16","lavfi.silence_duration":"5.81419"}

Notice how suddenly, even though this is step 1, it does have an end and duration!

BUT THESE ARE JUST THE NOT-UPDATED VALUES OF THE PREVIOUS SILENCE! So you ought to ignore these,

since IT IS NOT INFO ABOUT THIS SILENCE!

I'm pretty pissed off about this because apparently nobody at ffmpeg thought

it was important to document this, and I've been spending quite some time 

trying to find out why my own script wouldn't fucking work. But it's because

some twat didn't document per shit properly, got it now.

This is version two, a version with less than half the amount of code from

the previous version, and one that works a thousand times better.

****************** TEMPLATE FOR skiptosilence.conf ******************
