mfpbar-drag

This is a motherfucking progress bar with support for dragging.

Differences:

• The seek now occurs when the left mouse button is pressed, not when it's released.
• When the left mouse button is pressed, an exact seek is used. Then, any seeks triggered by dragging are keyframe seeks by default. No seek is performed when releasing the button.
• The script message 'exact-drag-seek yes' can be used to enable exact seeks when dragging, and 'exact-drag-seek no' to use keyframes again. You could for example observe the hr-seek property for changes in another script and change drag seeking behaviour according to the value of hr-seek.
• --input-builtin-dragging is disabled while the progress bar is active (i.e. when the mouse is in the proximity range).
• --cursor-autohide is disabled while the progress bar is active.
• MBTN_LEFT_DBL is ignored while the progress bar is active because I use that as an alternate fullscreen toggle.
• The hover_lock_to_chapter_time option controls whether hovering over a chapter diamond should lock the preview to displaying the chapter time (middle of the diamond).
• The OSC margins are disabled while the bar is hidden and reduced to the height of the minimized bar when minimized.
• The script message 'inhibit yes' can be used to prevent the bar from becoming visible, and 'inhibit no' undoes this. You could for example disable the bar while your image detection script detects an image. The script counts the number of inhibits ('inhibit yes' increments by one, 'inhibit no' decrements by one) and uninhibits when the count is zero. This allows multiple scripts to control bar visibility at the same time while ensuring the bar becomes visible only when all scripts have restored visibility.
• If all chapter titles are empty strings, space isn't allocated for the chapter title line.
• The bar is hidden immediately when the player goes idle.

The original script can be found at https://codeberg.org/NRK/mpv-toolbox/src/branch/master/mfpbar and the original README is copied verbatim below.

Features

The goal of this project is to be a progress-bar with minimal visual-clutter, features, as well as code-size.

• Basic progress-bar functionality.
• Cached indicator (can be disabled).
• Chapter markers (can be disabled).
• Basic hover-preview via thumbfast.

Installation

• Put mfpbar.lua inside your ~~/scripts directory, where ~~ is your mpv config dir.

• Put osc=no in your mpv.conf.

• Optionally install thumbfast for preview support.

• It is also recommended (but not required) to set osd-bar=no in your mpv.conf.

NOTE that mfpbar requires mpv version 0.33.0 or above.

Configuration

mfpbar can be configured by creating a mfpbar.conf file inside ~~/script-opts directory. All the available options and their defaults are documented in the example mfpbar.conf file.

Additionally, mfpbar registers a maximize key binding which you can bind in your input.conf. For example, the following binds Space to pause and simultaneously maximize the bar:

Space cycle pause; script-binding mfpbar/maximize

You can also specify a non-default timeout (in seconds) via using script message. The following will maximize the bar for 2.4 seconds when pressing TAB.

TAB  script-message-to  mfpbar maximize 2.4

Motivation

After uosc went full bloat in version 4, I decided that I'd write my own which contains only the functionality that I need. Needless to say, this mimics the older uosc's progress-bar quite a lot in terms of visuals.

The name of this project is a homage to the motherfucking website, which seemed quite appropriate since my goal was to just get a minimal clutter-free progress-bar.
