An mpv plugin to read usernames and passwords from `~/.netrc`. This script only supports netrc

entries that are on a single line.

See _[The .netrc file](https://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/manual/html_node/The-_002enetrc-file.html)_.

## Installation

Place `netrc.lua` in a place where mpv will read for scripts, such as `~/.config/mpv/scripts` on Linux.

## Configuration

If reading from `~/.netrc` (the default), configuration is unnecessary.

To read from an alternative netrc file, do one of the following:

- Create a file named `${CONFIG_DIR}/script-opts/netrc.conf` and set the `netrc-path` key:

  ```plain

  netrc-path=PATH_TO_NETRC

  ```

- Run mpv with `--script-opts=netrc=PATH_TO_NETRC`.

A full path is recommended. Using `~` or `~~` may not work.
