Playlist improvements about yewtube HOT 6 CLOSED

See https://github.com/np1/pms-youtube/issues/18 regarding going backward in playing items, basically, I don't know how to go about implementing it without interrupting continuous playback.

Scrolling through the list with vim keys (or even any keys) would be great, I think it would best be done using the pythons curses library, although that wouldn't work on Windows. It would be quite a lot of work right now (basically all the UI code would need to be rewritten). Maybe this is something I will do further down the line.

@gotbletu - Done, added to develop branch for next release - https://github.com/np1/mps-youtube/commit/129f7e7ff5ae8aa5460ec41e44ae217eda6cab99

Perhaps a lua script could be used with mpv.

function back_track()
  os.exit(42)
end

mp.add_key_binding('h', back_track)

Use mpv --lua scriptname.lua

This script causes mpv to exit returning 42 when h is pressed. That could then be interpreted as a signal to go a track back, and something similar could be used with l for going forward.

You can also try the python bindings for libmpv, and use slave mode with mplayer.

previous / next track is implemented with < and > keys in version 0.2.2

you can use j and k for next/prev by creating a file called mplayer-input.conf and/or mpv-input.conf with the following lines:

• mpv-input.conf:

j playlist_next
k playlist_prev

• mplayer-input.conf:

j pt_step 1
k pt_step -1

The file(s) must reside in the mps-youtube config dir (usually ~/.config/mps-youtube/ on Linux).
