[Question] Seek distance and script request etc

[DesolatePsyche]

Hi, have few questions.

How change default seek distance? Right know left-right arrow skips by 10 seconds. I would like to reduce it to 5 seconds. I tried adding to input.cfg Shift+RIGHT seek 3 exact Shift+LEFT seek -3 exact But it didn't work.

2. Can we have subtitle search function with UI. Similar to MPC-HC D button that searched for subs. For MPV I see there is something called sublime, which I failed to set up. I attempted to set up sublime with this script " https://github.com/vayan/autosub-mpv/blob/master/autosub.lua " , but alas. Once again. It didn't work. It's useful feature to have if watching movies/series that don't have subs included. So would nice to have. Convenience feature to avoid dl'ing subs from web.

I know there are bunch of scripts for sub search, automatic sub search and dl(+ones that use sublime and ones that use other places) and sub search with GUI etc.. but somehow I keep failing at setting them up.

3. Playing YouTube stuff. Well, not even sure what to say here. I get this sort of screen/error when attempting to play anything from youtube. https://i.imgur.com/QOnkpW6.png

(4.) Just extra question. Is MVP interlace feature essentially SVP? (5.) Method of play-next-video in the folder? Without having to drag whole folder onto MPV to create playlist.

Hi there, sorry for the late reply to this...

1. The seek setting within the mpv_thumbnail_script_client_osc.lua script defines the seeking amounts. The easiest solution, use shift+left/right to seek by 1 second (hold the combination to seek faster but not in massive sections at a time).
2. Personally, I am against subtitle databases as they just seem to be a massive pool of what ever is around and matches the current videos title. Depending what you are watching, I would source the subtitles from somewhere like Animetosho and drop them into the same folder as the video you are watching. The mpv.conf is set to look for subtitles within the videos directory to use during playback. Also, did you have a look at this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/425cvn/how_to_run_subliminal_in_windows/
3. If you want the video to play in mpv, comment out this line: ytdl-format=bestaudio. The other thing I suggest is to always make sure youtube-dl is up to date by running the updater.bat script.
4. That I am not sure of to be honest, apologies!
5. Fixed with commit bcdde9a8f63531e87d3cba317fd5b03f3f1bc79f: It will autoload the files when you add them now OR if you alter the folder afterwards, then shift+p.
