how do I combine the repeat playlist button?

[zaeboba]

I fight over this question for the third day and already managed to break my brain, nothing works, only everything breaks down I want to combine the two buttons into one button, making three modes. repeat off (repeat) - playlist repeat enabled (repeat_on) - single file repeat enabled (repeat_one_on) what's in parentheses is a google font.

That would be nice, but the way it's implemented in mpv, loop-playlist and loop-file are two different properties, so there's no way to combine them into one button in our controls config.

if I have a lua script to switch these modes, can I make a button with display as well? even with this I can't figure it out to be honest, and the documentation doesn't help me in any way (it's very complicated, at least for me).

function cycle_repeat_mode()
    local loop_file = mp.get_property("loop-file")
    local loop_playlist = mp.get_property("loop-playlist")

    mp.msg.info("Current loop-file: " .. loop_file)
    mp.msg.info("Current loop-playlist: " .. loop_playlist)

    if loop_file == "inf" then
        mp.set_property("loop-file", "no")
        mp.set_property("loop-playlist", "inf")
        mp.osd_message("Повтор плейлиста включен")
        mp.msg.info("Switched to loop-playlist")
    elseif loop_playlist == "inf" then
        mp.set_property("loop-playlist", "no")
        mp.osd_message("Повтор отключен")
        mp.msg.info("Switched to no-repeat")
    else
        mp.set_property("loop-file", "inf")
        mp.osd_message("Повтор файла включен")
        mp.msg.info("Switched to loop-file")
    end
end

mp.register_script_message("cycle-repeat-mode", cycle_repeat_mode)

loop-playlist and loop-file are two different properties

Yes and it's reasonable in a player. loop-file and loop-playlist enabled at same time is also a common use case (Play every item X times). When you play the last item, loop-playlist decides what next would do.

There's currently no way for a script to change a control button icon. But this should be an easy feature to add. I'll do it after #936 is merged.

A description of how I imagine it working so I wont forget:

On script's side:

-- Add or update a custom script managed button
mp.commandv('script-message-to', 'uosc', 'set-button', 'button-name', utils.format_json({
  icon = 'icon_name',
  active = true,
  badge = '0',
  tooltip = 'Button tooltip',
  command = 'command to send on click',
}))

And add into controls in uosc.conf with:

controls=button:button-name
