OS_Shutdown

Shutdown controller for mpv that allows shutdown after a set number of media files.

Info

This script was created to allow automatic shutdown of the system after a specific number of files played in mpv.
It supports both playlist-based playback and automatic folder loading (autoload), even when the playlist is not populated (like in uosc).

The shutdown can be triggered either:

• after a given number of files (nfiles)
• at the end of the playlist
• on mpv closing, depending on configuration

Features

• set the number of files to trigger shutdown (nfiles)
• automatic folder scanning for detecting current position (with extensions filter)
• handles idle states like --keep-open and --idle with optional timer
• support for scripts like autoload.lua or uosc
• optional shutdown at playlist end
• optional shutdown on mpv exit (closing)
• manual info on remaining items
• configurable extensions and behavior via .conf file
• keybinds to interactively set file count and check remaining

Usage

Place the OS_Shutdown.lua file into mpv’s scripts folder and the OS_Shutdown.conf file into the script-opts folder.

Keybinds

These can be customized via config.

Ctrl+ì - Set the number of files to shutdown after (or disable shutdown with any non-numeric entry)
Ctrl+^ - Show info on remaining files (dynamic display)
