commit 1: console.lua: close with right click

Useful to close the console after it was opened with the mouse.

Also fix the spacing of the previous line.

commit 2: select.lua: print selection circles before playlist entries

Requested in
#14087 (comment) and
#15031 (comment)

This is mainly useful to keep highlighting the current playlist entry after moving the mouse.

I would prefer to have color/shadow/border highlight for current item, instead of bloating everything with ● and ○. Note that if we are not in terminal, we can use ASS, else we can use circles.

I went with styles.warn because it's similar to the yellow of the selected item, better suggestions are welcome. The terminal style is just bold.

Changed to the same color as the selected item but not bold.

Little bit similar looking. I was thinking something more subtle like "hidden items" color. But it is fine, I'm not so much into colors, I can get used to it.

What do you mean? I'm talking about playlists shown with g-p which don't have circles. Tracks shown with g-a etc do have.

Why two completely separate views has to have the same representation?

I mean that g-t has multiple selected tracks and also g-s and g-S with secondary subtitles (also audio and video with --lavfi-complex but changing aid and vid doesn't work in that case anyway), so highlighting the default item is not enough. Actually with this change you can differentiate whether a selected subtitle is primary or secondary depending on whether you pressed g-s or g-S which is nice.

Why two completely separate views has to have the same representation?

They are the same for the "native" playlist and track list properties. I don't see how adding circles in the playlist is an issue, but the current solution can stay if you insist.

I added circles only to tracks precisely because multiple tracks can be selected but not multiple playlist entries or anything else, it is not to arbitrarily make separate views different or whatever.

Would it be viable to add a user_opt to control output direction?

For example: top, bottom (bottom being default, as is now).

Where top just simply adjusts the margin so it would act like a regular terminal output (downwards instead of upwards).

guidocella · 2024-10-10T13:30:20Z

Shells also output above the input line, I think that what you mean is to start from the top of the screen and descend as text is outputted, something like this:

     mp.set_osd_ass(screenx, screeny, ass.text)
 end

It is no longer possible to position the redrawn cursor correctly from a new ASS event but it's not noticeable anyway (I actually had to ask rossy what it's for 2 years ago - it's because the previous cursor is drawn below the text when they overlap). The order of completions would have to be completely changed so probably not worth maintaining both as an option. I don't know if we should change this.

Samillion · 2024-10-10T13:36:10Z

Nah, definitely not worth the hassle. It was merely a thought to throw out there for the sole purpose of "osc is bottom too".

I think select being mainstream just got me too excited and thinking of "they'll ask for this, I know it". But why bother, maybe it'll never be requested. xD

guidocella · 2024-10-10T14:10:11Z

Oh you actually meant to anchor the input line to the top for select. This does it:

This is more usable for select since the selected match is near the input line but I don't know if we want to deal with having 2 versions.

but I don't know if we want to deal with having 2 versions.

Agreed, it will introduce redundancy very quickly, not worth it.

We are not sure about the color, but it can be adjusted. The rest of the improvements work well.

Make the console easier to read because the current default is too small. See for example mpv-player#14903 (reply in thread) or mpv-player#15036 (comment) or mpv-player#15145 (comment) or mpv-player#15031 (comment). This also prevents libass from decreasing performance by printing many lines.
