Playlist OSD
Search OSD
Search is case-insensitive and uses lua search patterns. For basics it is like regular expressions '.' matches any character, and '*' is zero or more repetitions. So '.*' and substrings gets you pretty far.
Installation
Clone repo into your mpv scripts directory or clone anywhere and symlink it there if your operating system supports it.
