Manage playlists that mpv reads either online or from local files/directories, yt-dlp is used to download videos or just audio and in that case if we choose webm links, ffmpeg will (if you want to) convert them in five different formats: aac, flac, mp3, ogg, or wav. You can switch encoders by editing the config file (mpmrc), and many more options to control mpv, ffmpeg, yt-dlp and download/playlists directories etc...
Please read it before first run and change settings to your likings.
For installation, configuration and more please see the wiki page
Follow these steps described in this issue thread regarding yt-dlp failing to get all available formats on YouTube particularly
- Install yt-dlp-ejs from the Arch Linux repositories.
- or build from sources
When upgrading mpm, a ~/.config/mpm/mpmrc.diff will be created and merged with your mpmrc file, of course a backup will be generated under mpmrc.orig. Remember some of the changes are crucial...
- Added the same awk block from _RemoveCrap function in _EditListTitles function and fixed bug when renaming titles is done in temporary files.
- Updated doc/{mpmrc,themerc}
- Added an awk block to rename duplicate titles in _RemoveCrap function.
- Added few more themes in the themerc file.
-
Mpv terminal user interface can be used to pick & choose playlist items while mpv is running.
Such as:
- mpvc (available in the AUR)
- ncmpvc (available in the AUR) (cheatsheet)
as usual set it in your mpmrc file.
# experimental
# can be yes (mpvc tui) no (control mpv using shortcuts, press B for details),
# or empty (mpv infos in the terminal).
use_mpvc="no"
# change your mpv Terminal User Interface here
# mpvc_tui="ncmpvc"
mpvc_tui="<your_mpv_tui_here>"- Or...
# Colors can be change in ~/.config/mpm/themerc.
mpvc_tui="native"
- I also provide a new script (somabox) to listen to somafm.com radio stations through option 5). Place it in your $PATH, and change mpmrc setting to 'yes'
use_somabox="yes"
- As mentioned above mpv command line tools and terminal interface.
- ffmpeg, mpv, ytfzf & yt-dlp options can be set in your mpmrc through their respective bash arrays.
- Audio & Videos directories are defined in your mpmrc file (change them according to your locales).
- A themerc file is available to insert as many as you want "themes" instead of bloating up your mpmrc.
default theme will use your ~/.Xresources colors or your terminal preferences.

(it can be any terminal file manager) Because we are terminal users so we can navigate across our local media files. You will also need some dependencies to make it functional, for example displaying image/video thumbnails preview with ffmpegthumbnailer. Make sure $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ranger/scope.sh is executable.

Requests and contributions? Why not, have fun.
I would like to thanks all the devs that put their great work in the softwares I use and that I have implemented in this project and especially mister Brian Jhan Fox the father of the Bourne-Again SHell, even if I don't always use it the right way.
