Magnet Link as Title

[smhmd]

Vanilla peerflix does a much worse job at providing a title for some magnets (I don't know what criteria for that happening) and more often than not, the title is http://localhost:8888. peerflix-hook on the other hand, always names the file with its magnet link. which makes it impossible to use subtitle solutions within mpv. I couldn't find a flag in the manual to change the file name (which would be helpful, tbh, with some streamed files named in Russian), but, hopefully, the Lua API has something.

Sometimes I get a title with certain links (but it's never right). Do you want it to show the actual title or just not the magnet link? Peerflix doesn't provide any good way for me to get the title, but I can probably add a hack to figure out which video file is streaming and set the title to the video name.

[smhmd]

Yes, the currently played media file's title, not just not the magnet link, in order to let autosub search for subs automatically.

[noctuid]

I figured out how to get the video name/path, but it doesn't seem possible to change these properties. I opened an issue on the mpv tracker.

[smhmd]

@noctuid I must have overlooked it --force-media-title. it does the job, but autosub does not use the forced media title. maybe that's an issue with mpv itself. I'll see to the devs with this.

[noctuid]

Well I went ahead and added my changes to set force-media-title to the name of the playing file. Let me know if I need to do anything else.

[smhmd]

Let me know if I need to do anything else.

I'm very thankful.
I have but three points:

• The scripts outputs bash: line 11: 0 * 0.2 : syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".2 ")
• The script does not force title if you have opened it before you update the script (--no-resume-playback makes it work). Ex: fallback to the old version, run mpv 'magnet-link', update script, run mpv 'magnet-link' again, it'll have the magnet link as a title. This is unnecessary to fix as it is but I thought to let you know.
• partial path in the name. Ex:
                        dir ↓ ↓ file
  
  which would prove either useless (to user and scripts) or problematic.

The scripts outputs bash: line 11: 0 * 0.2 : syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".2 ")

Fixed.

partial path in the name

Could you give me the full path of that file or some file that has this isuse (/tmp/torrent-stream/...)?

[smhmd]

I tested with three torrents, btw.
Path:

/tmp/torrent-stream/d1e62f966ec76222e14ca180e8d12381b2949f80/Nameless Gangster Rules Of The Time (2012) [BluRay] [1080p] [YTS.LT]/Nameless.Gangster.Rules.Of.The.Time.2012.1080p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.LT].mp4

Command:

$  mpv 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:D1E62F966EC76222E14CA180E8D12381B2949F80&dn=Nameless+Gangster%3A+Rules+of+the+Time+%282012%29+%5BBluRay%5D+%5B1080p%5D+%5BYTS%5D+%5BYIFY%5D&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2F9.rarbg.com%3A2710%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fp4p.arenabg.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.internetwarriors.net%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.zer0day.to%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fcoppersurfer.tk%3A6969%2Fannounce'

Should work now.

[smhmd]

very sorry for not making myself clear, but what I had in mind is having the filename as the title only. I think that would make the most sense for the user and the scripts since the file path is http://localhost: at the end of the day, and the absolute path can be retrieved but, otherwise, not very useful.

Nameless.Gangster.Rules.Of.The.Time.2012.1080p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.LT].mp4 #subliminal would have a field day with a filename like this.

as opposed to

If you have a reason to believe the absolute path is more useful, know that the path has an n/ thing in front of it.

[noctuid]

My bad. Don't have time right now to properly check all cases. Updated the script with something that may work, but I'll look at it later when I get a chance.

[noctuid]

I added some fixes for compatibility with lua 5.2. Everything is now working for me as expected. Let me know if you have any issues.
