    I recently set up the chapterskip plugin and got it to work as intended. However, I've been having some problems trying to tinker with some things, mainly an option to toggle the script with a keybind. I tried using lines in the input config such as script-opts, but to no avail.

    Personally, it's not really any better than mpv filters like NIS [0] (Nvidia Image Scaling, which does not use AI but is somehow more sharp than these filters) as well as Anime4k [1] (which does use AI but only in the training phase to create the initial glsl file which then does not use AI inferencing but plain old image filters).

    Combine mpv with its yt-dlp [2] and SponsorBlock support [3] and you have a competent way to upscale your own YouTube (and other types of [4]) videos.

    It still isn't perfect though. Scripts like mpv-sponsorblock won't work if you play a video this way.
  • LPT: Open VLC and drag a youtube link to it. It'll play in VLC (with all the capabilities of VLC), and it'll skip ads.

  • MPV Submissions + Extension Submissions
    1 project | /r/SponsorBlock | 22 Jun 2022
    I started using SB with the Firefox extension, then eventually moved to FreeTube and then to MPV. I copied my user ID and display name to the MPV script that is responsible for skipping and submitting. When I close MPV and reopen the same video - my segment is skipped. Now, when I go to the extension to check my work - it still shows submissions while I was using the extension, not the ones from MPV. Also, when I open a YT video in the browser that has a segment submitted by me - it doesn't skip. With this one I might need to wait 6 hours (script default time to refresh SB database) or edit the script.
