Set start and end points of an A/B loop.
Video tutorial:
Options can be set either on the command line, or in a config file.
In both cases, this script's identifier – ab_loop_set_points – 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 |
|---|---|
toggle_seek_back |
true |
toggle_seek_forward |
false |
console_message |
false |
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 |
|---|---|
: |
ab-loop-set-a |
" |
ab-loop-set-b |
Alt+L |
ab-loop-set-sub |
Alt+: |
ab-loop-set-a-sub |
Alt+" |
ab-loop-set-b-sub |
| |
ab-loop-show |
Alt+| |
ab-loop-clear |
L |
ab-loop-toggle |
