Specifying command line options to mpv-player

[wturrell]

(I suppose this is a feature request, or maybe just a "how do I" that might be impossible…)

For a while now, in the latest curveball the BBC have thrown at direct stream listeners, the BBC HLS streams keep cutting out after a few minutes - MPV exits with a "terminated abnormally" message.

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/13428 https://www.reddit.com/r/mpv/comments/181yu2z/problem_streaming_radio/

There is a fix for this, which is to use mpv-player with the --loop-playlist=forceor (better, I suspect) --demuxer-lavf-o=max_reload=1000 options - is there anyway we you could enable specifying extra playback options per playlist item?

Or switch a particular station to a different player (e.g. someone in that thread suggested ffplay instead..)
