-- autosave.lua
--
-- Periodically saves "watch later" data during playback, rather than only saving on quit.
-- This lets you easily recover your position in the case of an ungraceful shutdown of mpv (crash, power failure, etc.).
--
-- You can configure the save period by creating a "lua-settings" directory inside your mpv configuration directory.
-- Inside the "lua-settings" directory, create a file named "autosave.conf".
-- The save period can be set like so:
--
-- save_period=60
--
-- This will set the save period to once every 60 seconds of playback, time while paused is not counted towards the save period timer.
-- The default save period is 30 seconds.
local options = require 'mp.options'
local o = {
save_period = 30
}
options.read_options(o)
local mp = require 'mp'
local function save()
mp.command("write-watch-later-config")
end
local save_period_timer = mp.add_periodic_timer(o.save_period, save)
local function pause(name, paused)
if paused then
save_period_timer:stop()
else
save_period_timer:resume()
end
end
mp.observe_property("pause", "bool", pause)
