mpv-scripts's Issues

Help wanted , installation

Hi, I want to install chapter-list.lua. as you mentioned it needs the scroll-list.lua.

I have the mpv-portable folder, I've created the

script-module and put the script in it, but nothing works.

Can you guide me step by step what to do?

chapter-make-read - Refresh the chapter list manually

Hi, I usually write down the chapter list in a text editor, as a <video>.<ext>.chp file. Is it possible to manually refresh the chapter list while playing <video>, reading from <video>.<ext>.chp?

[track-list.lua] Bug Report + Feature Request + Question

• If subtitle's filename contains video's filename, this part is trimmed and ignored in the track list; and in the same way if the sub and video filenames are identical, no track name is shown at all. Is this a bug or is it on purpose? If it's the second, what can I do to always show the full track name?
• A second keybinding press should hide the list, not reopen it. I'd like to press , for example, Ctrl+s to open the subs list and press it again to hide it. It would be much more intuitive than having to press ESC.
• How to avoid showing these generic track names (Sub 11) for tracks with no name? Thus bringing back the old script behavior.

Screenshots for reference:

chapter-make-read.lua Opening video file from NAS in large flat directory via SMB is very slow

Reproduction

1. Move chapter-make-read.lua into ~/.config/mpv/scripts/
2. Open a local video file → Opens local video file plus chapter sidecar file if existent → ✅ Works in an instant.
3. Open video file on NAS from folder which has 500+ video files → ❌ Takes 2-3 minutes to open and start playback!
4. Move chapter-make-read.lua from ~/.config/mpv/scripts/ to ~/.config/mpv/scripts-off/
5. Open video file on NAS → ✅ Takes the usual ca. 3 secs again. No chapter functionality ofc.
6. Move chapter-make-read.lua back to ~/.config/mpv/scripts/ and move the video into a folder with no or only few sister files.
7. Open video file on NAS → ✅ Takes the usual ca. 3 secs again. The chapters are shown.

Suspicion

• When mpv opens video-filename.videoSuffix the script looks for the existence of the sidecar file video-filename.videoSuffix.chp
  • But "just looking for a single file of a certain name" in the context of a network share, seems to get translated into multiple system calls:
    • Get a fresh directory listing (that may take long with all metadata and file thumbnail refreshing (loading in the first N bytes)!)
    • And among that listing search for the file.
• From the lua script's perspective it is just using file access, it is likely not aware whether that file is locally or on a NAS.

Possible improvements

1. Make lua file access aware whether it is local or network. And if network, make a call which really only searches for the existence of a file and avoid a large flat directory refreshing. → I estimate this to be not possible at all, or too much effort to implement (especially multi platform!)
2. Workaround: Exclusion-list or inclusion-list of filepaths for loading chapter files.
   • Possibility to list multiple folder names and/or file names and/or filepaths for which to (not) open chapters:
   • Ideally this supports wildcards or RegEx, and has an easy way to distinguish file vs. folder,
   • e.g. the rsync include/exclude syntax would be a good existing syntax to use.

[Feature Request] chapter-list.lua Auto Hide and chapter-list.conf

Auto hide chapter list after x seconds of inactivity just like mpv's default chapter list.
chapter-list.conf to change font size, color, alignment, etc. Just like https://github.com/Eisa01/mpv-scripts/blob/master/script-opts/SimpleHistory.conf

fix-avsync frames jump back and forth when switching between videos

mpv v0.35.1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtd6W4BEAbg
at 31 seconds, it is very clearly visible when I switch the video frames jump.

[track-list.lua] Some feature requests

• Don't count None track in the total number of tracks. If possible, setting its ID to 0 would be a good solution I suppose. OR: Show track numbering on the list, to make it more easy and intuitive to figure out what's the actual track ID.
• Don't show <TrackType> <TrackID> when track has no name, just left it empty. I mean: I don't want to see tracks appearing like Audio 01 if the audio track has no name.
• Option to show extension in uppercase, instead of language.

the absence of a comma and a space between the codec and the track language in track-menu.lua

I noticed that there is no comma between the language and the codec of the track, although other data is separated by a comma, my inner perfectionist is indignant.
is it still possible to add a path mapping to external files?

I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the colors of these elements? I didn't find the settings to change them

and what are these functions? [%cursor%/%total%]
does it look broken?

about fix-avsync.lua
the script works, but when you switch the track, the sound creaks, breaks for half a second, is it possible to fix it, for example, by silencing the track for 1 second between switching?

about open_dialog.lua
is it possible to make it so that by selecting an external track, it immediately becomes the default in the player?

open_dialog.lua after closing the player and opening it does not remember the audio track

that is, you closed the player and opened it, and your player opens without a sound track already, although in my opinion it should either remember the connected track through your script, or when launching, connect the last track before connecting with your script
but the script exposes just a video without sound

the video itself https://youtu.be/AkwSAhq8EPs

`mpv-script` tag

For mpv scripts, the most common tag is mpv-script.

chapter-make-read.lua accepts chapter filenames with 2 or 3 letter language codes

Imagine this file structure

video.mp4           # Video file
video.chp           # Chapter file, language neutral
video.mp4.chp       # Chapter file, language neutral, video suffix included
video.chi.chp       # Chinese chapter file, 3-letter code (ISO 639‑3), 
video.en.chp        # English chapter file, 2-letter code (ISO 639‑1)
video.spa.chp       # Spanish chapter file, 3-letter code (ISO 639‑3)
video FR.chp        # French chapter file, 2-letter code (ISO 639‑1) at the end of the file name without a dot

Detection

• If we have #15 then the .chp file can also be associated to the video file without the video file suffix.
• The language code can be identified if immediately before the .chp, in lowercase, uppercase, prefixed by a non-alphanumeric character, so dot, space or also hyphen, etc. See mpv option --options-sub-auto

Utilization

• If there is only one chapter file, then use it right away, no questions asked.
• If there are chapter files available in different languages then
  • in v1 the script chooses according to the mpv Track Selection preferences:
    • Already offers --alang (audio) , --vlang (video), --slang (subtitles), so you could introduce --clang (chapters)
    • If no --clang is present it uses --slang: If you can read the subtitles in that language, you can also read the chapters in that language.
    • For some obscure reasons you may want the original language chapter names (e.g. for reference) but nevertheless watch in your preferred subtitle language.
  • in v2 the script may allows to switch languages interactively (like subtitles already can)
  • in v3 the script may allows to switch language interactively in tandem with the subtitle files if you have exactly the same set of chapter languages and subtitles languages in total (from the video file stream and/or loaded from sidecar files)

chapter-make-read.lua - manually importing _chapter.chp file

Thanks for the script.

It is easily and automatically imported.

I am just wondering how to manually import the chapter.chp file.
Can you guide me on this?

---

I have to repeat this twice for the most recently created chapter.
s script-message-to createchapter create_chapter; script-message-to chapter_make_read write_chapter

How to add a file title into the chapter file name, instead create_chapter.chp?

[open_dialog.lua] import_clipboard breaks the script if the pasted text is in quotes

I tried to paste some file paths I copied with Windows File Explorer context-menu, which comes in quotes, and the file fails to open; and yet more, this error makes the entire script to completely stop to work.

Additionally, it would be good if the script printed osd messages about its actions ("Opening file...", "Loading URL...", etc), errors, etc.

track-list.lua - "%20" showing instead of space.

If I drag and drop an external subtitle then "%20" is shown instead of space.

Automatically show ui when cursor is moved in uosc

Hy, I was wondering how can we modufy uosc script such that everything is shown when we move the cursor to any place on screen. Currently only things in relevantbarea as cursor only are shown

Chapter - Missing.

The first chapter is missing.
And needed to write the chapter name that doesn't save as I chose a name.

Support filename: chapters.txt

May be filename chapters.txt could be supported if it exist in the same folder as the video.

chapter-make-read.lua - Fails with realistic amount and names for chapters - Works with minimal chapter file

Reproduction

1. Installed chapter-make-read.lua by moving it into ~/.config/mpv/scripts/
2. Put sidecar chapter file next to video file:
   • EVM.m4v (49m 28s, no chapters in metadata)
   • EVM.m4v.chp (UTF-8, created with TextEdit)

Result: Chapter loading ✅ works from very minimal but unrealistic chapter file ❌ but fails with realistic chapter file.

✅ Very minimal but unrealistic chapter file

• 4 chapters
• 0:00:00 til 0:40:00
• Chapters max 3 words, ASCII [A-Za-z ] only, no punctuation whatsoever

❌ My realistic chapter file

• 32 chapters
• 0:00:00 til 0:31:37
• Longest line 92 characters (timestamp plus chapter text)
• Used characters: [A-Za-z ] (ASCII only!) and several punctuation characters such as ' " , . : … • & / ( )

Investigation

• Tried a lot of trial and error. Could not find the root cause.
• Performed several test rounds
  • 0. Start with original chapter file
  • 1. Reduce a certain character from the file (e.g. hyphen, dot, colon, ampersand, ...) by find/replace.
  • 2. Save file.
  • 3. Reopen mpv with that file.
  • 4. Quit mpv again
  • Go back to 1. Several times
• Then also tried to cut the maximum line length to e.g. 20 characters.
• Checked that my filestamps are a continuum (no timestamp earlier than the previous timestamp)
• All helped nothing. Was left clueless.

Environment

• macOS 11 Big Sur
• mpv 0.35.0 (installed via brew package manager)

Attachments

Notes

• The .txt extension was only added to be accepted as an attachment on Github
• During playback attempt the respective files were of course renamed to EVM.m4v.chp to act as the sidecar file to EVM.m4v.chp

Files

• EVM-mini-version-works.m4v.chp.txt
• EVM-original-with-punctuation.m4v.chp.txt

sub_export.lua sound notification after the end

what do I need to add so that an audio signal occurs at the end of the export? to play an audio file on a specific path in the system?
"E:\soft\eac3to\success.wav"

[Feature Request] Mediainfo add toggle keybind

At present the info stays on screen for 5 seconds. I would prefer if a toggle keybind can be added.

chapter-make-read.lua: Autodetection of sidecar file also for basename.chp

• Currently: The sidecar is the full file name including the video suffix + the .chp extension
• Proposed: It should also detect the file name without the video suffix + the .chp extension
  • Design rationale: That's common for subtitle files like .SRT, see mpv option --options-sub-auto
  • In the macOS Finder the handling of files with two file extension is a bit inconvenient when renaming files. Would prefer .chp as the sole extension for this reason too.
• Note: The current sidecar file detection pattern shall remain too.
  • That way per use case you can be either ultra specific or more tolerant/flexible with how you name your chapter files, e.g.
    • vid.mp4 + vid.mp4.chp + vid.avi + vid.avi.chp all matching uniquely
    • whereas vid.chp would be a sidecar file to both vid.mp4 and vid.avi

[Question] Is it possible for `chapter-make-read.lua` to load `.xml` chapters?

Either by having same name as video/audio file or inside .mks?
Is it possible or not?

chapter-make-read.lua: adding and writing chapters works, but loading fails at mpv start in command line.

Hi,
I just found your script collection and tried to use chapter-make-read.lua.
Creating chapters and writing the file works, but when I close and restart mpv, the chapters file isn't imported. I assume it's because I don't have 'mp.msg', 'mp.utils', and "mp.options" which are listed as "required" in your script (unless they're mpv builtins).
However, I could not found any info if they are mpv builtins and if not where to get them.

I think that for users who are not very experienced with lua scripts, it would be helpful to add a little bit of explanation in the README.

Thanks, Markus
