A thin mpv wrapper for on-the-fly playlist editing

Pasteplayer

Pasteplayer is a (very) thin python wrapper around mpv to allow easy on-the-fly playlist editing (like pasting youtube URLs)

It's also available on pypi! Simply run pip install pasteplayer; after that, run the pasteplayer command from anywhere.

Usage

Upon startup, you will be asked for a valid URL or file name.

All usual mpv keyboard shortcuts still work, e.g.:

• space to play/pause
• > to skip to the next title in the playlist
• < to go to the previous title
• m to mute
• …

Additionaly, you can press a to add a new item to the playlist or c for more playlist editing commands:

• r NUMBER to remove item at position NUMBER
• m FROM TO to move an item

Command line arguments

usage: pasteplayer.py [-h] [-p KEY VALUE] [URL/PATH [URL/PATH ...]]

positional arguments:
  URL/PATH

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p KEY VALUE, --property KEY VALUE
                        set mpv property KEY to VALUE. See all available
                        properties with 'mpv --list-properties'
  -v, --video           Enable video. Shorthand for '-p video auto'

• mute: yes/no to mute audio (without disabling it)
• fullscreen: yes/no
• osc: yes/no to enable/disable on-screen-controller (the one that appears when you move the mouse)
