uosc VS mpv-settings

Most of those features are available in OSS tools as well. And for those that are not, there are alternative solutions that might take a bit of work to implement.

I'm not claiming that the OSS tools have feature parity with 1st party frontends, or that they won't require some sacrifices, or effort adjusting. I just think that the trade-off of losing some of the convenience in return for not being tracked and manipulated is well worth it to me, though I can see how it might not be worth it for others.

I do actually think that OSS tools provide a better UX. I can download the media and consume it offline, using any player of choice, on any device, at any time. I find YouTube's recommendations a nuisance, and I can turn those off in Invidious and Piped. Scrubbing in mpv is instantaneous for me for local files and even those served on the LAN, though there is a slight delay when playing directly from YT. There is also a solution for generating thumbnails[1], though I had some issues with it, and didn't end up using it.

At the end of the day, it's a personal choice depending on what you value most, and I'm not trying to convince anyone my choice is inherently better. Thanks for providing your perspective.

Check out uosc, it has a button for the next file.

uosc adds a customisable ui, making mpv more accessible to beginners.

Then another great starting point imo is to just install this script actually. Its a ui script and is really customisable and nice. https://github.com/tomasklaen/uosc

so recently I am using a UI called uosc and I want to add a play/pause button to the control bar, i asked the UI Developer and he said what's shown in the picture: -Can someone show me how to do it correctly ?

You have to use a ui like uosc. https://github.com/tomasklaen/uosc

This one is pretty neat.

Not a gradient but you can change the colour if you use the uosc gui which comes with a bunch of other features.

For beginner, I always suggest them to install uosc because it lowers the learning curves: https://github.com/tomasklaen/uosc

I'm using https://github.com/Tsubajashi/mpv-settings and I was wondering if it was possible to have the playback time displayed with millisecond precision?

if someone could walk me through a few good config settings to use it would be nice,i have just copied shaders and config from here GitHub - Tsubajashi/mpv-settings: basically my settings for MPV

I just used this premade config from this post. It initially had no config or input file, so i downloaded both files from the post i linked.

If you want to have it easy, there are many premade configs out there. This one is a pretty good one, but I prefer to check through the documentation and configure everything by myself (my config, if that's of your interest). A Google search should find you a lot of them anyways.

have a look at this mpv.conf and see how he does it, it has examples for changing screenshot formats and many subtitles settings too

Heya! My config should be fully compatible with your setup and needs. https://github.com/Tsubajashi/mpv-settings should be plug and play.
