Replace autoload.lua with Play Next File In Dir on Media End

[Pentaphon]

Can we have this function built in to tethys? It seems natural to include a feature like skipping to the next file in the folder like https://github.com/tomasklaen/uosc does but some people may not want that osc and prefer yours.

I don't quite understand the need to bundle the official autoload.lua script inside tethys.lua. Is there a change that is necessary or something? Or GUI toggle? Or is this just to make the install easier?

Does uosc do the autoload differently?

Seems like instead of loading the entire folder as a playlist at load time, it dynamically goes to the next file when the media ends. This way it'll play the next video even if the next few videos is still downloading.

It just makes the whole install easier and more cohesive by having it built-in to the Tethys UI, you know? Tethys seems to emulate the classic media player design like Bomi, mpc-hc, smplayer, etc which all have the abilty to play the next video in a folder if the user turns on that playback option so it should just include the ability to play the next video in a folder without relying on another script that wasn't meant for Tethys.

And yes, dynamically going to the next file, as well as letting users press a button to go to the next file early (to skip end credits) is essentially what I want. uosc also lists all the files in that folder in a menu on the player Ui so you can open any one of them as well but that might be asking for too much. It's a handy feature to have, especially considering how many TV episodes people watch these days.
