Aurora Scripts

Aurora's Lua scripting API can be used to extend the functionality of Aurora through custom community-contributed filters, sorts, subtitles, and utility scripts. The API exposes global, script, and library functions for integrating into Aurora's user interface, and accessing underlying system internals.
