mpv_thumbnail_script VS mpv

https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script gimme a sec and ill write a guide for u to install it tryin get back to you in like 30min

I followed all the instructions, from https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script And actually no error is being displayed, just that the thumbnails are not loading

Link to the script page: https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script

Hi! Are there anyone here who uses this script? I tried to do everything according to the guide written in the readme, but it never worked for me. To be more precise, for example, the folder for scripts I did not have at all, and I tried to create it in different places and add these two .lua scripts. That didn't make them work either. There was no preview and still no preview. Maybe someone can tell me how to fix it (preferably in detail, because I just recently started my acquaintance with mpv), or offer another solution to my request (although I myself have not found anything else, except this github) Thank you in advance for your help!

Earlier i used this lua script for thumbnail preview that didnt worked link. neither did it worked by hovering over timeline nor by shift+t and reported 'Thumbnailing unavailable'

This is the script i have tried link i stream youtube videos using mpv

The latest release of mpv_thumbnail_script doesn't have the bugfix. Grab my copy of it which I've patched with the upstream fix.

I've only managed to run thumbnails from local files with this lua script. However, I am struggling to make it work with youtube streams.

from https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script/releases to ~/.config/mpv/scripts

The versions in my post are from a fork with a fix for this issue. I'm not sure if the new version on the wiki contain these patches.

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

See https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/9053

I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Author of ripgrep here.

Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?

Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.

Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.

Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.

ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:

* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)

* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.

Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
