10 months ago This would be nice option. As example, another tool feh (image viewer) has option --start-at [filename] which allows opening any file from filemanager and then navigate through files inside feh (as now whole directory is playlist).
UPD: https://github.com/derf/feh/issues/502#issuecomment-577554998 says that there is mpv script that can automatically load other files from directory and add them to playlist: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/TOOLS/lua/autoload.lua

Expected behavior of the wanted feature
--playlist-startonly supportsindexandauto, but when I open a playlist, I need the playlist to be sorted by mtime. I can usels -t | mpv --playlist=-to do that, but I need to start from the specific file instead of the first one if not providing index for--playlist-start, fetching the index is not easy, passing the file to it is easier.Most of the time I use mpv to open a file inside ranger using
EnterorRightkey on a video file, the files list in the directory are sorted by mtime, and I hope to open a video file and the playlist is sorted by mtime like my ranger does.Changing the line in
~/.config/ranger/rifle.conf:to
is ok for playlist to be sorted my mtime, but mpv won't play the video file when I hit
EnterorRightkey, and--playlist-start=10doesn't seem to work.If anyone can get an easy solution instead implementing filename for
--playlist-start, it would be also OK.Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
Log file
Even if you think it's not necessary at first, it might help us later to find possible issues. Make a log file made with -v -v or --log-file=output.txt, paste it to https://0x0.st/ or attach it to the github issue, and replace this text with a link to it.
