Simple media logger Lua script for mpv

mpvhistory.lua

-- Not my code: originally from https://redd.it/3t6s7k (author deleted; failed to ask for permission).
-- Only tested on Windows. Date is set to dd/mmm/yy and time to machine-wide format.
-- Save as "mpvhistory.lua" in your mpv scripts dir. Log will be saved to mpv default config directory.
-- Make sure to leave a comment if you make any improvements/changes to the script!

local HISTFILE = (os.getenv("APPDATA") or os.getenv("HOME").."/.config").."/mpv/mpvhistory.log";

mp.register_event("file-loaded", function()
    local title, logfile;

    title = mp.get_property("media-title");
    title = (title == mp.get_property("filename") and "" or ("(%s)"):format(title));

    logfile = io.open(HISTFILE, "a+");
    logfile:write(("[%s] %s %s\n"):format(os.date("%d/%b/%y %X"), mp.get_property("path"), title));
    logfile:close();
