My local video mpv frontend

I finished refactoring the script today.

It leverages fzf as a local video selection frontend for mpv. Additionally the script uses ffprobe and the kitty protocol to grab and display preview information and thumbnail.

The script also has an alternative mode, that instead lists local playlists for quick access.

Sorry for the dumb question, but how I am supposed to launch it?

wesker@lemmy.sdf.org · 3 pts · 1y

sh fzf_mpv.sh search_videos

or

sh fzf_mpv.sh search_playlists

It assumes your movies are stored in ~/Videos but that path can be changed by editing line 3 of the script.
