mpv.net media player

history.txt:
is there a minimum file size (or some other determining factor) for which history.txt
is not updated for particular file(s)?
- like if i throw (drag & drop) a directory of files into mpv.net, files ranging
in length between 0:10 to 1.34.23
no. it is not length or size alone?
is % of file played a factor?
or how the player is Quit? Or...?
- as it is, something ? either causes a file to turn up in history.txt, or not?

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...64#post1944164 (only answering a 3-year old post ;-).)

Not length, size, or %, or... simply the amount of time that the clip has been open (not necessarily playing or anything else, simply open) - with a minimum time needed before a file is logged of 60 seconds.

---

And in that respect...


history.lua

a minimum of 60 sec.

Is there any downside (as in extra polling or i/o or...)
to reducing that 60 to some other amount, say 18 seconds or whatever?

likewise, say you jump to the next file, never start playback,
& the player simply sits... for hours or days... any impact there?
or does it simply sit in a no-op state, & on the next Next File,
/then/ it checks time & writes to the .log ?

(I don't really know what I'm saying below, so I'll just carry on... heh.)

input.conf

> a cycle-values video-aspect 16:9 4:3 2.35:1 -1 #menu: Video > Cycle Aspect Ratio

so 'a' cycles aspect ratio
i suppose you can simply add any wanted value, say 16:10, to that "list", & they would then (also) cycle

what is the meaning of -1 ?
or does that mean something like, reset on close (of clip)?
oh "video-aspect-override"... & that means just what... ?
oh, oh. so -1 resets AR to "Default", & if set that way, /then/ subsequent clips open at Default - otherwise they'll open at whatever the last override was set to.

in that regard, could hitting -1 throw up a message, "video-aspect: #, Default", to make it more apparent that the DAR is being used instead of an override?
likewise, considering a/r carries forward unless reset, maybe an 'A' to manually reset it - without cycling, or can something like the be defined in input.conf ?

and 0 is "PAR", which is "native resolution" ? NO, must be "pixel aspect ration"... which means what, width/height ?
and -1 is "Default", which is what "DAR", display aspect ration ?

so if:
Width: 426
Height: 282
PAR is then: 1.5106 = ar = 0
DAR: 3:2, is 1.5000 = ar = -1

Do I kind of understand the above - kind of correctly?

7111.

- New default bindings and menu items for select.lua which is a new simple mpv built-in command palette script. In the context menu select.lua features can be found under `View > On Screen Menu`.

I'll just note that I'm not getting anything; F8, F1, F3...?

Win7 x64 (might matter).

No messages in Console.


If I download select.lua, I get:

I don't know if you can use select.lua with an old libmpv build, you can use command_palette.lua. It has new features:

- Command palette features
- Bindings
- Playlist
- Chapters
- Profiles
- All tracks
- Audio tracks
- Video tracks
- Subtitle tracks
- Secondary subtitle tracks
- Subtitle line
- Commands
- Properties
- Options
- Audio devices
- Blu-ray Titles

The command palette user script supports now stream quality and aspect ratio.

How is mpv-hero (which I've not looked at yet) different / related to mpv.net ?

[stax76]

They are both easy to learn and use mpv GUIs, mpv.net is easier to learn and use, and it will probably stay that way. I intend to improve both, it depends on the feedback I get.

# v7.1.1.2 Beta (2024-10-10)

- Polish translation fixed. German, Turkish and Japanese translation updated.
  French translation added! Thanks to the translation team!
- Support of relative folders from command line.
- Support for the mpv option `cursor-autohide`.
- A issue with the support of the mpv property `title-bar` has been fixed,
  at the moment this is most useful for users of the popular uosc user script,
  the mpv built-in OSC doesn't fully support it yet.
- `media-controls=yes` is now enabled by default, this enables play controls
  in the `KDE Connect` android app.
- The mpv.net option `auto-load-folder` by default is now disabled and the
  option is deprecated. The reason for this is mpv has new native support
  for it using `autocreate-playlist`, which mpv.net uses now instead by default.
- New zhongfly libmpv x64 build.
- New Andarwinux libmpv ARM64 build.
