1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/BackScene.git
   
   

You can enhance your wallpapers with a smooth fade in/out + zoom + blur effect using MPV scripts. Place the script in the BackScene/tools/mpv/scripts/ folder.

-- crossfade_clean.lua

local fade_duration = 0.5
local zoom_factor = 1.03
local blur_strength = 1

local function apply_vf()
    local duration = mp.get_property_number("duration")
    if not duration then return end

    -- Clear existing video filters
    mp.commandv("vf", "clr")

    -- Calculate fade out start time
    local fade_out_start = duration - fade_duration

    -- Build filter chain
    local vf_str = string.format(
        "fade=t=in:st=0:d=%f,fade=t=out:st=%f:d=%f,scale=iw*%f:ih*%f,boxblur=%d:%d",
        fade_duration,
        fade_out_start,
        fade_duration,
        zoom_factor,
        zoom_factor,
        blur_strength,
        blur_strength
    )

    -- Apply filters
    mp.commandv("vf", "add", vf_str)
    mp.msg.info("Filtres appliqués proprement")
end

-- Apply filters when a file is loaded
mp.register_event("file-loaded", function()
    mp.add_timeout(0.2, apply_vf)
end)

mp.msg.info("crossfade_clean.lua actif")
