Make "keep-open" only continue playing similar-named files

Open BlepBlep opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Funnily enough, "auto play next files" is a rare setting in video players. I like that this has it, but I do find it a bit annoying how it will ignore whether or not files have a similar name. I used to use Potplayer before moving to this, and it would only auto-play the next file if it had a similar name. ex: "[filename] 01, [filename] 02". This helps when you have small series of files inside of a bigger folder, so it doesn't just start playing random stuff willy-nilly. It also helps if you have image files in the same folder and it just starts going through all of them unexpectedly haha.

It's not keep-open 's func. https://github.com/stax76/mpv.net/blob/master/docs/Manual.md#--auto-load-folderyesno

Ah... So it isn't. The wording around it is pretty confusing so my mistake. My point stands but with "auto-load-folder" instead then. Sorry bout that!

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately I'm not very good with scripting or any of that. I really like MPV, and it doesn't have too many things that I miss from other players. This isn't 1000% necessary of a feature to add, it's more of a convenience thing. If you ever get around to it, it'd be great! But I'm sure there's better stuff to work on. Thanks again!
