autosave.lua

-- 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 }
