All UI elements hide and show based on their proximity to cursor. Click on the preview above to see it in action.
Installation
uosc is a replacement for the built in osc, so that has to be disabled first.
In your mpv.conf:
osc=no # required so that the 2 UIs don't fight each other
border=no # if you disable window border, uosc will draw
# its own pretty proximity based window controls
Download and save uosc.lua into scripts/ folder.
To configure uosc, create a script-opts/uosc.conf file, or download uosc.conf from this repository.
Options
All available options with their default values:
title=no # display window title (filename) in no-border mode
progressbar_size=4 # progressbar size in pixels, 0 to disable
progressbar_size_fullscreen=4 # same as ^ but when in fullscreen
seekbar_size=40 # seekbar size in pixels, 0 to disable
seekbar_size_fullscreen=40 # same as ^ but when in fullscreen
min_proximity=60 # proximity below which opacity equals 1
max_proximity=120 # proximity above which opacity equals 0
bar_opacity=0.8 # max opacity of progress and seek bars
bar_color_foreground=FFFFFF # BBGGRR - BLUE GREEN RED hex code
bar_color_background=000000 # BBGGRR - BLUE GREEN RED hex code
Progressbar: thin always visible discrete video progress bar. Seekbar: thick seeking bar with times that appears when mouse is near it.
Keybindings
By default, uosc doesn't create any keybinds, but provides commands to bind your preferred keys to. To add a keybind, open your input.conf file and add one on a new line.
For example, this will bind the p key to toggle progress bar:
p script-binding uosc/toggleprogressbar
Commands
Available commands uosc listens on:
toggleprogressbar
Toggle the thin discrete progress bar.
Tips
If the UI feels sluggish to you, it's probably because the rendering is chained to video frame rate. Add this to your mpv.conf file to enable interpolation and get a more responsive UI:
interpolation=yes
video-sync=display-resample
Though it does come at the cost of a higher CPU load.
