# Bookmarker Menu for mpv v1.3.1



A bookmarker menu to manage all your bookmarks in MPV. This script is based on [mpv-bookmarker](https://github.com/nimatrueway/mpv-bookmark-lua-script) and has been rewritten to include a bookmarker menu. All of the code has been written from scratch, aside from the general file/JSON management utilities.



**Notice:** Bookmarks created with [mpv-bookmarker](https://github.com/nimatrueway/mpv-bookmark-lua-script) can be loaded by this script and will be automatically converted. However, the bookmarks created with this script are not compatible with those created with [mpv-bookmarker](https://github.com/nimatrueway/mpv-bookmark-lua-script).



## New in version 1.3.1



* `DEL` button now deletes the character after the cursor instead of clearing the whole string

* Styling added for certain lines

* Currently selected line is now bold and yellow

* Typer cursor changed from `;` to a bold and yellow `|`



## Planned features



* Allow custom tags for bookmark styling

* Undo function

* Redo function



## Installation



Copy `bookmarker-menu.lua` to the scripts folder for mpv then add the following lines to `input.conf`:



```

B script_message bookmarker-menu

b script_message bookmarker-quick-save

ctrl+b script_message bookmarker-quick-load

```



The keys are only a suggestion, and can be changed to something else.



Open `bookmarker-menu.lua` in a text editor, and you can easily change these settings:



```lua

-- Maximum number of characters for bookmark name

local maxChar = 100

-- Number of bookmarks to be displayed per page

local bookmarksPerPage = 10

-- Whether to close the Bookmarker menu after loading a bookmark

local closeAfterLoad = true

-- Whether to close the Bookmarker menu after replacing a bookmark

local closeAfterReplace = true

-- Whether to ask for confirmation to replace a bookmark (Uses the Typer for confirmation)

local confirmReplace = false

-- Whether to ask for confirmation to delete a bookmark (Uses the Typer for confirmation)

local confirmDelete = false

-- The rate (in seconds) at which the bookmarker needs to refresh its interface; lower is more frequent

local rate = 1.5

-- The filename for the bookmarks file

local bookmarkerName = "bookmarker.json"

```



It's recommended not to touch `bookmarkerName` but it's there to be changed in case you already have a file called `bookmarker.json` and don't want that to be overwritten, or to change it to `bookmarks.json` to convert bookmarks created by [mpv-bookmarker](https://github.com/nimatrueway/mpv-bookmark-lua-script).



## Usage



#### When the Bookmarker menu is closed



* *`B` or whichever key you configured in `input.conf`*: Pull up the Bookmarker menu

* *`b` or whichever key you configured in `input.conf`*: Quickly add a new bookmark

* *`ctrl+b` or whichever key you configured in `input.conf`*: Quickly load the latest bookmark



#### When the Bookmarker menu is open



* *`B` or whichever key you configured in `input.conf`*: Close the Bookmarker menu

* `ESC`: Close the Bookmarker menu

* `UP/DOWN`: Navigate through the bookmarks on the current page (Hold to quickly scroll)

* `LEFT/RIGHT`: Navigate through pages of bookmarks (Hold to quickly scroll)

* `ENTER`: Load the currently selected bookmark

* `DELETE`: Delete the currently selected bookmark

* `s`: Save a bookmark of the current media file and position

* `shift+s`: Save a bookmark of the current media file and position (shows a text input, allowing you to type)

* `p`: Replace the currently selected bookmark with the current media file and position

* `r`: Rename the currently selected bookmark (shows a text input, allowing you to type)

* `f`: Change the filepath of the currently selected bookmark (shows a text input, allowing you to type)

* `m`: Move the currently selected bookmark



Replacing a bookmark is intended for when you have a bookmark for your current progress in a TV series. When you've finished a new episode, you can select this bookmark and press `p` to instantly rewrite that bookmark with your current progress, leaving the name and its position in the list of bookmarks intact.

Changing the filepath of a bookmark is intended to quickly change a bookmark in case you moved the media file to a different folder, or perhaps the drive letter of your external drive changed.



#### When allowing text input



The Typer (as I named it) allows you to type text for various ends, like renaming a bookmark or changing its filepath.



* `ESC`: Cancel text input and return to the Bookmarker menu

* `ENTER`: Confirm text input and save/rename the bookmark

* `LEFT/RIGHT`: Move the cursor through the text, allowing you to input text in different places (Hold to quickly scroll)

* `BACKSPACE`: Remove the character preceding the cursor (Hold to rapidly remove multiple)

* `DELETE`: Remove the character after the cursor (Hold to rapidly remove multiple)

* `Any text character`: Type for the text input. Allows special characters, spaces, numbers. Does not allow letters with accents (Hold to rapidly add characters)



During text input for a bookmark's name, you can write `%t` or `%p` to input a timestamp in the name. (Note: This does not work for a bookmark's filepath.)



* `%t` is a timestamp in the format of hh:mm:ss.mmm

* `%p` is a timestamp in the format of S.mmm



For example, `Awesome moment @ %t` will show up as `Awesome moment @ 00:13:41.673` in the menu



#### When moving bookmarks



* `ESC`: Cancel moving and return to the Bookmarker menu

* `ENTER`: Confirm moving the bookmark

* `m`: Confirm moving the bookmark

* `s`: Save a bookmark of the current file and position

* `UP/DOWN`: Navigate through the bookmarks on the current page (Hold to quickly scroll)

* `LEFT/RIGHT`: Navigate through pages of bookmarks (Hold to quickly scroll)



## Testing



This has been tested on Windows. In theory, it should also work for Unix systems, but it hasn't been tested on those.
