Lag when using tumbnails

[ang3lo-azevedo]

Hello, I have a problem.
When watching anything on mpv the tumbnails from osc tethys lag all the interface and even make it freeze.

Could you help me?

Thanks

Atm, the thumbnail generation is blocking. I added a debounce delay to generate the thumbnail if you stop moving the mouse for 200ms, but it's not working very well.

I was hoping to keep this as a single script to make it easier to install, but it seems there's a reason that https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script/releases is two different lua scripts.

I've tested a quick refactor using mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua and it seems to work well. I've just gotta polish it and remove my old thumbnail code before releasing it.

Try the thumbserver branch:

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zren/mpv-osc-tethys/thumbserver/osc_tethys.lua
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zren/mpv-osc-tethys/thumbserver/mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua

Thank you!

And how can I make the tumbnails work on remote files?
