Feature Request: Search Function

[24bit192kHz]

Hi, I really like your script, but there's one thing that would make it perfect. I have a large library, and scrolling through it is a bit annoying. Instead, I think a search function would be better. Like using ctrl+f, where I can type something like "The" and it removes anything that doesn't have "The" in it right away.

I've been thinking about this too, for exactly the reason you described. As a workaround I add everything I want to watch to a playlist.

This feature (and this project) is low priority for me right now, but your request makes it a little higher 🙂.

Let me know if there's an ideal way you would want it to work (keybindings etc.).

A simple ctrl+f would do the trick. Just type what you want, and it hides anything that doesn’t match. Also, making it case insensitive would be super handy.

I'd like to see a Continue Watching menu so I can continue watching where I left off.

Would this do what you want? https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#resuming-playback

I have a lua script with browsing history, and there is “save position before exit” but apparently it does not always remember where I left off, if I look at something else it goes astray.

and also probably the most important is to watch series after series, every time jump out of bed to switch the Simpsons series - not convenient(

@zaeboba Could you create a new issue for your requests, just so that they are kept separate from this one?

I've pushed a commit that has search working. You need to install this user script and then Ctrl+f will let you search your Jellyfin server.

how does it work? my library is not in English, i can't find what i need because the search doesn't work :(

This probably isn't a problem with this script, and is more likely related to Jellyfin API or this

I say this because all I do really is take input from one and pass it off to the other.

I mean this (maybe the translator got the meaning wrong)

Details

mpv_22.39.22.mp4.mov

Damn, I should have checked before I wrote..

Details

mpv_22.43.18.mp4.mov

but still, the search is only in English.

Hi. I have two things to add related to this topic:

1. mpv-user-input is not needed. mpv's Lua API exposes a way to request user input: https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#mp-input-functions
2. The problem that the user reported HERE is because of improper url encoding. The script doesn't encode non-English alphabets correctly at the moment. URL encoding is extremely complicated and I have discovered that it is best to offload this responsibility to curl. Instead of encoding it ourselves, we can take advantage of curl's --url-query parameter.
