In8a7614a0fbfiles that start with a '.' were blacklisted from autoload.lua. Since then35e8710b86was introduced and explicitly whitelisted file extensions. With this change, there is no longer a reason to blacklist all files starting with '.', because it is valid to have a file called '.hidden.mkv', and there is no chance of hidden files such as '.bashrc', '.DS_STORE', '.gitignore', etc. being autoloaded by mpv. This commit tries to keep the same behavior as before, which is to by default not load hidden files, but allows the user to optionally allow hidden files to be autoloaded.
mpv lua scripts
The lua scripts in this folder can be loaded on a one-time basis by adding the option
--script=/path/to/script.lua
to mpv's command line.
Where appropriate, they may also be placed in ~/.config/mpv/scripts/ from where they will be automatically loaded when mpv starts.
This is only a small selection of internally maintained scripts. Some of them are just for testing mpv internals, or serve as examples. An extensive user-edited list of 3rd party scripts is available here:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/User-Scripts
(Anyone can add their own scripts to that list.)
