mpv-config

My personal mpv config and user scripts :)

Nothing special, not even any fancy shaders or anything, since I only have an integrated GPU. This is mainly just for backup and keeping track of changes.

Fonts

• Open Sans (OSC)
• Manrope (Subtitles)
• Cascadia Code (Console)

Warning
Install my custom-made icon font modernx-osc-icon.ttf for the OSC icons.

User scripts

• auto-save-state.lua: Periodically saves "watch later" data during playback, rather than only saving on quit.

• crop.lua: Crop the video by defining the target rectangle with the cursor.

• file-browser.lua: Navigate through the file system entirely from within mpv and open/append files & folders.

• modernx.lua: My own spin on MordenX, with added support of po5's thumbfast.lua (see below) and upstream fixes ported from from mpv's osc.lua. You can view the differences between the upstream/forks here.

• playlistmanager.lua: Create and manage playlists intuitively. Uses playlistmanager-save-interactive.lua to manually name playlists on save.

• reload.lua: Provides automatic reloading of videos that didn't have buffering progress for some time, keeping the current time position.

• seek-to.lua: Seek to an absolute timestamp specified via keyboard input or pasted from clipboard.

• SmartCopyPaste.lua: Add the capability to copy and paste while being smart and customizable.

• thumbfast.lua: High-performance on-the-fly thumbnailer for mpv.

Note
Some of the scripts have been modified to suit my needs. You can see the exact changes by looking at the commit history for each individual script.
