mpv-scripts VS mpv-file-browser

Mpv+scripts make the key frame cutting via ffmpeg light and simple. Ffmpeg still requires to do work on joining clips but at least can work away in the background, can be run overnight without X11 or video editor running for max resources.

With copyTime.lua and seek-to.lua you can copy current time with ctrl+c then paste it in the next video with ctrl+v to seek to the same position.

encode.lua: make various .conf files to cut/encode videos with ffmpeg.

acompressor.lua: compressor. blur-edges.lua: fills the black bars on the side of a video with a blurred copy of its edges. createchapter.lua: self-explanatory. crop.lua: crop video in a visual manner. encode.lua: make an extract of the video currently playing using ffmpeg. reload.lua: reloads videos if an online video stops caching. seek-to.lua: go to timestamp. simplehistory.lua: stores whatever you open in a history file. skiptosilence.lua: skip past "previously on...". smartcopypaste_ii.lua: copy/paste links sponsorblock.lua: skip sponsors in yt videos. streamsave.lua: save looped section to a separate file. subit.lua: download subtitles to playing video. uosc.lua: feature-rich minimalist proximity-based ui (my fav!). webm.lua: similar to encode.lua but with more features and no external dependencies. webtorrent-mpv-hook: enable mpv to stream torrents using webtorrent. youtube-quality.lua: change quality of currently playing yt video.

encode.lua

I like mpv with these scripts which use ffmpeg.

Bring up the webm menu and press o to change encoding settings. There's also encode.lua.

You are in luck! mpv-file-browser supports addons - the find addon allows you to search the contents of a directory (not recursively though). Setting it up might be more involved though, read the README.md for the installation process.

So my main idea is to have a black MPV window sitting there until I select the video I want to play using https://github.com/CogentRedTester/mpv-file-browser. But when I launch it with --idle --force-window, I get a big message that has MPV's logo and says "Drop files or URLs to play here." which gets on the way of the addon.

Use https://github.com/CogentRedTester/mpv-file-browser/ instead, it has a function to load a whole directory as a playlist on a keypress, Alt+Enter by default, plus much more.

File Browser with Favourites addon

As the title says, I want to setup the mpv-file-browser script. The github page doesn't say anything about how to set it up. I tried putting the .lua .json and .conf file inside my scripts folder but it didn't work. It also says something about a 'script-opts' folder, so I tried that and it didn't work either. Can anybody help me set it up?
