Show chapter name when hovering the seekbar

[1Naim]

as the title, show chapter name when hovering the seekbar, just like the default osc

Hmm, I'd definitely be up for showing the chapter in a tooltip above the prev/next chapter buttons.

As for the seekbar, would it be okay to only show them as a tooltip over the "chapter tickmarks" if I turn them into buttons?

If not, then I guess I can make it a "subtitle" above or below the timestamp tooltip.

Whether thumbnails can be displayed on the timeline.

[Zren]

I've a work in progress thumbnail support with the chapter title underneath which looks like YouTube.

• https://github.com/Zren/mpv-osc-tethys/blob/thumb/osc_tethys.lua
• master...thumb

Once I've polished the Thumbnail generation (based on mpv_thumbnail_script) to always work (currently assumes linux + ffmpeg), I'll merge it.

[lyturn]

You're good job. but I have a question, how do I set it up.

[Zren]

I assume you're on Windows? I forgot to add the Windows "create directory" command, so it was failing to create %TEMP%\mpv_thethys\, which meant that it would error when trying to generate %TEMP%\mpv_thethys\thumb.bgra.

I've tested Windows in a VM and it seems to work now.

On windows, the image still doesn't show. the cache folder "mpv_tethys" is empty.

Ah, I just noticed the thumb path is C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\mpv_tethys/thumb.bgra. Maybe that's it? It's weird that my Win7 VM works fine though.

I've added a bunch of mpv_thumbnail_script's error handling. Press the `/~ key to open the console and view the logs.

[lyturn]

I still don't work here.

"mpv.exe" version can display thumbnails normally
However, the "mpvnet.exe" version cannot display thumbnails properly.

@lyturn Thanks for the update!

Does changing preferMpv = true, to preferMpv = false, here in the script (in MPV.net) work?
https://github.com/Zren/mpv-osc-tethys/blob/thumb/osc_tethys.lua#L341

Does removing osc_tethys.lua and adding mpv_thumbnail_script.lua (in MPV.net) work?

[lyturn]

Now it works Change preferMpv "true" to "false" , you are awesome.

[Zren]

... Of course. That makes sense, because the executable is mpvnet.exe not mpv.exe.

https://github.com/Zren/mpv-osc-tethys/blob/thumb/osc_tethys.lua#L737-L740

Looks like to get preferMpv = true working, I'd need to change

    local mpvCommand = {
        "mpv",
        "--msg-level=all=error",
        "--hwdec=no",
...

to

    local mpvCommand = {
        "mpvnet",
        "--msg-level=all=error",
        "--hwdec=no",
...

It seems I'll need to copy mpv_thumbnail_script's ExectuableFinder code to check if mpv exists, and if not, fallback to mpvnet. It's odd that mpv_thumbnail_script only checks if ffmpeg exists though.

[Zren]

Glad you got it working! Once I've finished the mpv/mpvnet check, I'll merge this into master.

[lyturn]

I found that changing preferMpv=true to preferMpvnet=true also works.

Chapter titles when hovering seekbar is in now merged into the master branch along with the thumbnails.
