Author of PySceneDetect here. Sorry about that, this is one thing I never figured out how to fix with the generated documentation yet. Now that you mention it, I might ask the Readthedocs folks to see if they have any idea why this is happening.

No need to apologise! Thank you for making such an awesome library - can't wait to try it out on some of my home videos :p

  Funny you should mention that - initially home videos were what I was doing this with, as I was unable to find any existing programs that could handle them reliably (or had various shortcomings, or weren't hackable/extensible, etc...). Then I realized that what I came up with actually competed pretty well with the existing solutions (benchmarks below [1]), so decided to open source it and share it with the world. Of course, the project is still very basic in it's current form, but does offer a good platform for testing more advanced scene detection methodologies (and has also been used as a baseline in various research/academic contexts). There's been plenty of suggestions for other detection methods (e.g. using histograms) which I'm very interested in looking into adding for future releases. Lastly, one thing I do want to address going forwards is the performance, to make the algorithms more suitable for real-time systems (have decided to rewrite the core algorithms in C++ when I have some time, and interface that with the Python library/CLI). That being said, I'm always open to feedback or different ways of approaching things. If you or anyone else has any feedback or suggestions, feel free to create a new issue on the Github issue tracker [2] and I would be happy to discuss the possibility of including it in a future release of PySceneDetect.

Even if that is fixed, a link to the repo on the left column[1] would be nice. Maybe you don't want to edit that page, just encountered the docs first, e.g. from HN :D. This project sounds pretty interesting, I'll take a look! [1]See e.g. docs of requests: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/ https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/

  Great idea, will give that a shot - thanks for the suggestion! :)
