feat: mpv Wayland embedding, timeline redesign, UX polish

mpv embedding:
- Replace wid/QOpenGLWidget with QOffscreenSurface + QOpenGLFramebufferObject
  + QPainter readback — works on Wayland/KDE without sub-surface compositing
- Force desktop OpenGL 3.3 core profile before QApplication (fixes black output on GLES)
- Timer-based render polling (16 ms) replaces signal-flood from mpv C thread;
  fixes playback animation and scrubbing preview
- Fix AB-loop: set ab-loop-a/b to "no" on stop (0 means infinite in mpv)

Timeline:
- Full redesign: time ruler with adaptive major/minor ticks, playhead triangle
  handle, selection region with edge lines, numbered marker badges
- Height 160 px; layout collapsed from 4 rows to 2 below timeline
- Markers appear immediately on export (optimistic update before ffmpeg finishes)
- Right-click marker → context menu to delete from DB

Hotkeys:
- Replace keyPressEvent with QShortcut(ApplicationShortcut) so keys work
  regardless of focused widget; MpvWidget gets NoFocus policy

Export:
- WebP: switch lossless→lossy quality 85, compression_level 1 (~10x faster)
- Add -threads 0 for full CPU utilisation during decode/filter
- Remember last export folder across sessions via QSettings

# 8-cut Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Build a Linux desktop tool to drop a video, scrub a timeline, and export exactly 8 seconds to an auto-numbered output file.
**Architecture:** Single `main.py` file with PyQt6 for the window/widgets, python-mpv embedded for playback with AB-loop preview, and ffmpeg subprocess in a QThread for non-blocking export. Pure logic (filename counter, ffmpeg command builder) is tested with pytest; GUI is verified manually.
**Tech Stack:** Python 3.10+, PyQt6, python-mpv, ffmpeg (system), pytest
---
### Task 1: Project setup
**Files:**
- Create: `main.py`
- Create: `requirements.txt`
- Create: `tests/__init__.py`
- Create: `tests/test_utils.py`
**Step 1: Install dependencies**
```bash
pip install PyQt6 python-mpv pytest
```
Verify mpv is on the system:
```bash
mpv --version
ffmpeg -version
```
**Step 2: Create requirements.txt**
```
PyQt6>=6.4
python-mpv>=1.0
pytest>=7.0
```
**Step 3: Create tests/__init__.py**
Empty file.
**Step 4: Create main.py skeleton**
```python
import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
win = MainWindow()
win.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())
class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setWindowTitle("8-cut")
self.resize(900, 650)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
**Step 5: Run to verify window opens**
```bash
python main.py
```
Expected: empty 900×650 window titled "8-cut" appears.
**Step 6: Init git and commit**
```bash
cd /media/p5/8-cut
git init
git add main.py requirements.txt tests/
git commit -m "feat: project skeleton"
```
---
### Task 2: Pure utility functions (TDD)
**Files:**
- Modify: `main.py` — add `build_export_path`, `format_time`
- Modify: `tests/test_utils.py`
**Step 1: Write failing tests**
```python
# tests/test_utils.py
import sys, os
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)))
from main import build_export_path, format_time
def test_build_export_path_first():
assert build_export_path("/out", "clip", 1) == "/out/clip_001.mp4"
def test_build_export_path_counter():
assert build_export_path("/out", "clip", 42) == "/out/clip_042.mp4"
def test_build_export_path_deep_counter():
assert build_export_path("/out", "shot", 999) == "/out/shot_999.mp4"
def test_format_time_seconds():
assert format_time(0.0) == "0:00.0"
def test_format_time_minutes():
assert format_time(75.3) == "1:15.3"
def test_format_time_rounding():
assert format_time(61.05) == "1:01.0"
```
**Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
```bash
pytest tests/test_utils.py -v
```
Expected: `ImportError` or `AttributeError` — functions not yet defined.
**Step 3: Add functions to main.py**
Add after the imports:
```python
def build_export_path(folder: str, basename: str, counter: int) -> str:
filename = f"{basename}_{counter:03d}.mp4"
return os.path.join(folder, filename)
def format_time(seconds: float) -> str:
m = int(seconds) // 60
s = seconds - m * 60
return f"{m}:{s:04.1f}"
```
Also add `import os` at the top of main.py.
**Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
```bash
pytest tests/test_utils.py -v
```
Expected: all 6 tests PASS.
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add main.py tests/test_utils.py
git commit -m "feat: add utility functions with tests"
```

### Task 3: ExportWorker (QThread)
**Files:**
- Modify: `main.py` — add `ExportWorker` class
- Modify: `tests/test_utils.py` — add ffmpeg command test
**Step 1: Write failing test for command builder**
Add to `tests/test_utils.py`:
```python
from main import build_ffmpeg_command
def test_ffmpeg_command():
cmd = build_ffmpeg_command("/in/video.mp4", 12.5, "/out/clip_001.mp4")
assert cmd[0] == "ffmpeg"
assert "-ss" in cmd
assert str(12.5) in cmd
assert "-t" in cmd
assert "8" in cmd
assert cmd[-1] == "/out/clip_001.mp4"
```
**Step 2: Run to verify it fails**
```bash
pytest tests/test_utils.py::test_ffmpeg_command -v
```
Expected: ImportError.
**Step 3: Add build_ffmpeg_command and ExportWorker to main.py**
Add after imports:
```python
import subprocess
from PyQt6.QtCore import QThread, pyqtSignal
def build_ffmpeg_command(input_path: str, start: float, output_path: str) -> list:
return [
"ffmpeg", "-y",
"-ss", str(start),
"-i", input_path,
"-t", "8",
"-c:v", "libx264",
"-c:a", "aac",
output_path,
]
class ExportWorker(QThread):
finished = pyqtSignal(str) # output path
error = pyqtSignal(str) # error message
def __init__(self, input_path: str, start: float, output_path: str):
super().__init__()
self._input = input_path
self._start = start
self._output = output_path
def run(self):
cmd = build_ffmpeg_command(self._input, self._start, self._output)
try:
result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=120)
if result.returncode == 0:
self.finished.emit(self._output)
else:
self.error.emit(result.stderr[-500:])
except Exception as e:
self.error.emit(str(e))
```
**Step 4: Run tests**
```bash
pytest tests/test_utils.py -v
```
Expected: all 7 tests PASS.
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add main.py tests/test_utils.py
git commit -m "feat: ExportWorker with ffmpeg command builder"
```
---
### Task 4: TimelineWidget
**Files:**
- Modify: `main.py` — add `TimelineWidget` class
**Step 1: Add TimelineWidget**
Add before `MainWindow`:
```python
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QWidget
from PyQt6.QtGui import QPainter, QColor, QPen
from PyQt6.QtCore import pyqtSignal
class TimelineWidget(QWidget):
cursor_changed = pyqtSignal(float) # emits position in seconds
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setMinimumHeight(40)
self.setMouseTracking(True)
self._duration = 0.0
self._cursor = 0.0
def set_duration(self, duration: float):
self._duration = duration
self._cursor = 0.0
self.update()
def set_cursor(self, seconds: float):
self._cursor = max(0.0, min(seconds, max(0.0, self._duration - 8.0)))
self.update()
def _pos_to_time(self, x: int) -> float:
if self._duration <= 0 or self.width() <= 0:
return 0.0
ratio = max(0.0, min(1.0, x / self.width()))
return ratio * self._duration
def paintEvent(self, event):
p = QPainter(self)
w, h = self.width(), self.height()
# Background
p.fillRect(0, 0, w, h, QColor(30, 30, 30))
if self._duration <= 0:
return
# 8s selection highlight
x_start = int(self._cursor / self._duration * w)
x_end = int(min(self._cursor + 8.0, self._duration) / self._duration * w)
p.fillRect(x_start, 0, x_end - x_start, h, QColor(60, 120, 200, 120))
# Cursor line
pen = QPen(QColor(255, 200, 0))
pen.setWidth(2)
p.setPen(pen)
p.drawLine(x_start, 0, x_start, h)
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
self._seek(event.position().x())
def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):
if event.buttons():
self._seek(event.position().x())
def _seek(self, x: float):
t = self._pos_to_time(int(x))
self.set_cursor(t)
self.cursor_changed.emit(self._cursor)
```
**Step 2: Verify it renders — quick smoke test**
Temporarily add to `MainWindow.__init__`:
```python
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QVBoxLayout, QWidget as QW
container = QW()
layout = QVBoxLayout(container)
self._timeline = TimelineWidget()
self._timeline.set_duration(60.0)
layout.addWidget(self._timeline)
self.setCentralWidget(container)
```
Run `python main.py` — you should see a dark bar. Click/drag on it to move the yellow cursor with blue highlight.
**Step 3: Remove the temporary test code from MainWindow**
Revert `MainWindow.__init__` to just `super().__init__()`, `setWindowTitle`, `resize`.
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add main.py
git commit -m "feat: TimelineWidget with cursor and 8s highlight"
```
---
### Task 5: MpvWidget
**Files:**
- Modify: `main.py` — add `MpvWidget` class
**Step 1: Add MpvWidget**
Add before `MainWindow`:
```python
import mpv
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QFrame
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt, QTimer, pyqtSignal
class MpvWidget(QFrame):
file_loaded = pyqtSignal() # emitted (on Qt thread) when a file is ready
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setMinimumSize(640, 360)
self.setStyleSheet("background: black;")
# Required so Qt creates a real native window handle for mpv to embed into.
# Without these, mpv opens a separate window instead of embedding.
self.setAttribute(Qt.WidgetAttribute.WA_NativeWindow, True)
self.setAttribute(Qt.WidgetAttribute.WA_PaintOnScreen, True)
self._player = None
def _init_player(self):
if self._player is not None:
return
self._player = mpv.MPV(
wid=str(int(self.winId())),
keep_open=True,
pause=True,
)
# mpv fires events on its own thread; bounce to Qt thread via QTimer.
@self._player.event_callback("file-loaded")
def _on_file_loaded(event):
QTimer.singleShot(0, self.file_loaded.emit)
def load(self, path: str):
self._init_player()
self._player.play(path)
def seek(self, t: float):
if self._player:
self._player.pause = True
self._player.seek(t, "absolute")
def play_loop(self, a: float, b: float):
if self._player:
self._player["ab-loop-a"] = a
self._player["ab-loop-b"] = b
self._player.pause = False
def stop_loop(self):
if self._player:
# ab-loop-a/b are numeric properties — setting to "no" via dict
# accessor throws TypeError. Disable loop via ab_loop_count instead.
self._player.ab_loop_count = 0
self._player.pause = True
def get_duration(self) -> float:
if self._player:
d = self._player.duration
return d if d else 0.0
return 0.0
def closeEvent(self, event):
if self._player:
self._player.terminate()
super().closeEvent(event)
```
**Step 2: Smoke test**
Temporarily in `MainWindow.__init__`:
```python
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QVBoxLayout, QWidget as QW
container = QW()
layout = QVBoxLayout(container)
self._mpv = MpvWidget()
layout.addWidget(self._mpv)
self.setCentralWidget(container)
# after show(), call: self._mpv.load("/path/to/any/video.mp4")
```
Run, load a real video path. Should display and be paused.
**Step 3: Remove temporary test code**
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add main.py
git commit -m "feat: MpvWidget with seek and AB-loop"
```

### Task 6: MainWindow — full UI
**Files:**
- Modify: `main.py` — implement complete `MainWindow`
**Step 1: Add all imports at top of main.py**
```python
import sys
import os
import subprocess
from pathlib import Path
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import (
QApplication, QMainWindow, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QHBoxLayout,
QLabel, QPushButton, QLineEdit, QFileDialog, QFrame, QStatusBar,
)
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt, QThread, pyqtSignal, QTimer
from PyQt6.QtGui import QPainter, QColor, QPen, QDragEnterEvent, QDropEvent
import mpv
```
**Step 2: Replace MainWindow with full implementation**
```python
class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setWindowTitle("8-cut")
self.resize(900, 680)
self.setAcceptDrops(True)
# State
self._file_path: str = ""

self._lbl_cursor = QLabel("cursor: --")
self._lbl_duration = QLabel("dur: --")
self._txt_name = QLineEdit("clip")
self._txt_name.setPlaceholderText("base name")
self._txt_name.setMaximumWidth(150)
self._txt_name.textChanged.connect(self._reset_counter)

controls.addWidget(self._btn_play)
controls.addWidget(self._btn_pause)
controls.addStretch()
controls.addWidget(self._lbl_cursor)
controls.addWidget(self._lbl_duration)
export_row = QHBoxLayout()
export_row.addWidget(QLabel("Name:"))

root.addLayout(controls)
root.addLayout(export_row)
container = QWidget()
container.setLayout(root)
self.setCentralWidget(container)
self.setStatusBar(QStatusBar())
# --- Drag & Drop ---
def dragEnterEvent(self, event: QDragEnterEvent):
if event.mimeData().hasUrls():

self._mpv.stop_loop()
self._mpv.seek(self._cursor)
# --- Export ---
def _pick_folder(self):
folder = QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(self, "Select output folder")
if folder:
self._txt_folder.setText(folder)
self._reset_counter()
def _reset_counter(self):
self._export_counter = 1
self._update_next_label()
def _update_next_label(self):
path = build_export_path(
self._txt_folder.text(),
self._txt_name.text() or "clip",
self._export_counter,
)
self._lbl_next.setText(f"{os.path.basename(path)}")
def _on_export(self):
if not self._file_path:

def _on_export_error(self, msg: str):
self._btn_export.setEnabled(True)
self.statusBar().showMessage(f"Export error: {msg}")
```
**Step 3: Run the app**
```bash
python main.py
```
Expected:
- Window opens with dark drop zone
- Drop a video → preview appears, timeline shows duration
- Drag cursor → video seeks to that frame
- Click "▶ Play 8s" → 8-second loop plays with audio
- Click "⏸ Pause" → pauses and seeks back to cursor
- Click "Export" → exports clip_001.mp4 to home folder, counter becomes 2
**Step 4: Run all tests to confirm nothing broken**
```bash
pytest tests/ -v
```
Expected: all tests PASS.
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add main.py
git commit -m "feat: complete MainWindow UI with playback and export"
```

### Task 7: Final polish
**Files:**
- Modify: `main.py` — dark theme, minor UX
**Step 1: Add dark stylesheet to main()**
```python
def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
app.setStyle("Fusion")
app.setStyleSheet("""
QWidget { background: #1e1e1e; color: #ddd; }
QPushButton { background: #333; border: 1px solid #555; padding: 4px 10px; border-radius: 3px; }
QPushButton:hover { background: #444; }
QPushButton:disabled { color: #555; }
QLineEdit { background: #2a2a2a; border: 1px solid #555; padding: 3px; border-radius: 3px; }
QStatusBar { color: #aaa; }
""")
win = MainWindow()
win.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())
```
**Step 2: Run and verify visuals**
```bash
python main.py
```
Drop a video, scrub, export. Everything should look clean and dark.
**Step 3: Final commit**
```bash
git add main.py
git commit -m "feat: dark theme, complete 8-cut tool"
```
