you can add that series from a folder or music by hot buttons like shift+enter will play as the whole playlist, but just enter will play 1 file like now. watching anime or the simpsons isn't comfortable.

I've added a new option that will set your playlist to be the current list of videos in the menu (so the current season for tv shows). Let me know if that works for you.

🤔 Sorry, I don't really understand how it works, I'm not a programmer. I need to create playlists myself, or what?

[EmperorPenguin18]

1. Install the script again from the latest commit
2. Set the use_playlist option to on in the config file
3. What should happen when you play a video, is mpv's internal playlist gets populated. You can confirm by pressing F8. There are all sorts of things you can do with this, but obviously what you are interested in is auto-play.
4. When the video is over, mpv should (at least it does for me) start the next one right away automatically. If you look in the manual, there is even an (experimental) option to prefetch the video.

Let me know if any of these steps were unclear 🙂

Got it now, thanks. It worked. What does f8 mean? what should be the default, I have this:

I'd like to auto-detect the system so that the os.execute("mkdir -p ”..options.image_path) command is not used for linux and does not create a folder 😂

This is just the default mpv binding to show the current playlist. In this case, the playlist is all Jellyfin urls so it doesn't look great in the UI.

Do you mean for OSs other than Linux? If so, you make a good point, don't know why I didn't think of that.

YEAH! I thought it was a virus at first 🤣 because on Windows it looked like a cmd window appeared for a second when starting mpv.

so I just comment on the line, that way the window doesn't seem to pop up. https://github.com/zaeboba/portable_config/blob/f19d6905127885dd2556f5b9ce559620ff368451/scripts/jellyfin.lua#L322

Okay try the latest commit and let me know

[zaeboba]

the console appears.

I meant that for Windows this command is not necessary at all, because the player is able to create it itself (I don't know if the linux program lacks the rights)

[EmperorPenguin18]

Okay I just did what you did, and commented it out.
