sub-fonts-dir-auto.lua

Automatically look for a fonts directory to use with sub-fonts-dir.

This mpv Lua script will automatically use the sub-fonts-dir option (to override the default ~~/fonts location) if it find a Fonts directory alongside the currently playing file. (The name of the directory is matched case-insensitively.)

NOTE: The sub-fonts-dir option has been submitted as part of PR #9856. Until it is merged upstream, you will have to download and compile the mpv source yourself.

USAGE

Simply drop this script in your scripts configuration directory (usually ~/.config/mpv/scripts/).

REQUIREMENTS

This script requires a version of mpv that includes the sub-fonts-dir option.

NOTES

• Any --sub-fonts-dir option passed on the command-line will override this script.

• When going through a playlist, sub-fonts-dir will be dynamically updated for each individual file.

• This script will output some additional information on higher verbosity levels (-v). To increase the verbosity for this script only, use --msg-level=sub_fonts_dir_auto=v (or =debug for more output).
