Put a "Previous" and "Next" button

[sheesh3178]

There's no button for it, so I can't do it. I tried putting one with autoload.lua just like I do with MPV, but it didn't work for some reason.

My action:

• Install app
• Play video
• Notice that it has no "Previous" and "Next" button, just like with MPV
• Put autoload.lua on a folder
• Link with mpv.conf
• Doesn't work

Okie dokie. I must ask though, what is the mpv.conf/input.conf even for now? I know it's used to add additional features for the lacking mpv, but it doesn't even work in this app, and also is somewhat useless now because the dev is now putting all the necessary features for a proper video player - features that mpv lacked, making custom scripting pretty much useless.

I am pretty sure it does... can you tell me what exactly isn't working?

well having the options to use custom scripts and configurations is nice since i can't possibly cover all use cases

@abdallahmehiz we also need the previous and next button for any autoplay since many people hate making playlists and prefer to just play all of the video files in a folder by default such as episode packs, etc.

@sheesh3178 its for people who want total control of mpv like they do on the desktop. The developer is just adding features that should "just work" on a touchscreen player without having to edit .conf files on their phone or tablet but he's also not going to cover every single thing that most people will never fiddle with.

the autoload.lua script

I tried everything to make it work. I set it up just like with mpv:

mpv.conf: script="/sdcard/path/to/autoload.lua" which in this case is sdcard/Movies/mpvKt/autoload.lua

But this time I set up the "pick mpv configuration storage location" to said path (in all honesty, I don't even know what is this setting for. I don't think this exists in mpv-android)

And surprise surprise, it doesn't work. I tried changing the mpv.conf like:
script="/Movies/mpvKt/autoload.lua",
script="/storage/0/emulated/Movies/mpvKt/autoload.lua"

tried removing the quotations here
script=/sdcard/Movies/mpvKt/autoload.lua,
script=/Movies/mpvKt/autoload.lua,
script=/storage/emulated/0/Movies/mpvKt/autoload.lua

removed the "script=" here
/sdcard/Movies/mpvKt/autoload.lua,
/Movies/mpvKt/autoload.lua,
/storage/emulated/0/Movies/mpvKt/autoload.lua

Still doesn't work.

I guess I'll have to wait for the playlist feature.
