Creates glitch effects in H.264 encoded videos by removing keyframes, combining videos, looping intermediate frames.
Can be controlled via OSC.
demo.mp4
Use ffmpeg to convert the videos to a raw h264 stream
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 video.h264
It can also be helpful encode all input videos the same way, otherwise transitions between videos don't work properly. These settings have an effect on the glitch effects look in general and could probably be optimized still. They also have an effect on how likely mpv is to lock up when switching videos.
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -c:v libx264 -vf format=yuv420p,scale=1920:1080 -qp 30 -x264-params bframes=0:refs=1:g=9999999 video.h264

By default the glitcher listens on port 8000 for OSC messages.
