Play an interval before or after the current position.
Video tutorial:
Options can be set either on the command line, or in a config file.
In both cases, this script's identifier – play_before_and_after – will be needed.
Use --script-opts=<identifier>-<option>=<value>,... to set options on the command line.
To set options in a config file, create the following file: ~/.config/mpv/script-opts/<identifier>.conf. Set options in the file, one per line, in the following fashion: <option>=<value>.
More information on mpv's script-opts command line and config file syntax can be found here (based on the example of the built-in osc.lua script).
NOTE: The table below shows values as they appear in the script's source code written in Lua. When passing script options on the command line, or setting them in a config file, in mpv you use the words yes and no instead of Lua's true and false, respectively.
The following options are available for this script:
| Option | Default value |
|---|---|
interval_short |
3 |
interval_medium |
5 |
interval_long |
10 |
Keybindings can be remapped in ~/.config/mpv/input.conf. Add a line in the following format to remap a keybinding: <key> script-binding <name>.
If you remap a keybinding, you will likely want to disable the default keybinding by adding <default key> ignore to ~/.config/mpv/input.conf. See the video tutorial linked to above for a demonstration and for information on how to see what a given key is currently mapped to in mpv.
The following keybindings are available for this script:
| Key | Name |
|---|---|
Ctrl+, |
play-before-short |
Ctrl+. |
play-after-short |
< |
play-before-medium |
> |
play-after-medium |
Ctrl+< |
play-before-long |
Ctrl+> |
play-after-long |
