Hi all,

I have a script the should jump 1 second at the beginning of every video.
The video should be played only from the second second on.
I have made a lua script, but it does not work yet:

skipper.lua placed in /home/USER/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions

Code: Select all

	require 'common'

	local input = vlc.object.input()
	
	if input then		
		if skip() then
			common.seek(2) -- seeks to 2s
			-- common.seek("50%") -- seeks to middle of video		 
		end
	end

The lua script / extension shows under
Tools > Plugins and extensions > Addon Manager --> skipper.lua (installed)

But the lua script / extension does not show under
Tools > Plugins and extensions > Active Extensions

Can anybody please help? Thanks.

Your script is not Extension. Check the structure here (function descriptor(), activate(), deactivate()):

Hi mederi, OK, thanks for the feedback. I realized that, but is there a way to activated the script / code without going through the View > etc. Menu in VLC?

Anyway. I actually wanted to use the script to get rid of the microphone pop noise when I started the voice recording.
The real solution for my problem with the microphone recording was this (on Ubuntu 16.04, taken from https://askubuntu.com/questions/18958/r ... pulseaudio):

cd /etc/pulse
cp default.pa default.pa.original
sudo pluma /etc/pulse/default.pa

Add the following line anywhere on the file, but I recommend almost at the end where you will find a comment about Echo Cancellation stuff (~line 140):

set-default-source echocancel_source

##mate-volume-control or start menu 'sound', tab 'Input', set slider to ca. 40%, input level 4 (I I I I).
