Tested it out on an anime episode to see if it could detect accurately when the opening and closing credits play. It seemed to be able to detect the ending of both even with a high threshold, but it didn't really detect the start. And with a low threshold, it gave me like 350 chapters for a 22 minute video, which seemed a bit excessive.

Hi Hamuko;

Would you be able to share a small sub-set of the episode, in particular the area where you're unable to detect the starting segment? (If not, no worries!)

There's a few issues with PySceneDetect currently that may lead to false or missed detections, but these are things that I would like to solve in the long run:

- threshold is heuristic/fixed right now, but I would like to change it to an adaptive/statistical method which can dynamically change

- single-frame events can trigger false scene changes

Thanks for your feedback, and feel free to share any other suggestions you might have.
