Summary:
A request for the official ArchLinux build of mpv to include more documentation provided by the upstream release, to be installed under /usr/share/doc/mpv or /usr/share/mpv/scripts Description: MPV includes in its official releases lots of usefull documentation and additional scripts under the "TOOLS" folder, https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/TOOLS The current ArchLinux PKGBUILD, https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/packages/mpv/trunk/PKGBUILD does include some, but not the entire content of this folder. Example, the "lua" folder containing lua scripts: install -m0644 TOOLS/lua/* \ -D -t "$pkgdir"/usr/share/mpv/scripts However there are many other extremely usefull scripts for a generic Arch audience under "TOOLS" They are left out. An important example is the python "upmv" script. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/TOOLS/umpv It's even recommended and an almost indispesible companion for watching videos with Qutebrowser. These other scripts could also be included to install in /usr/share/mpv/scripts, or in alternative, /usr/share/doc/mpv/ PS: An extension for this request would be to include the contents of the wiki, https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki to be installed under /usr/share/mpv/docs/wiki This is a well curated wiki, with an immense ammount of usefull information. These are mere markdown.md pages, so no additional processing is needed. |

I think there are only four files in TOOLS that could be used by users. The first two are 'umpv' and 'mpv_identify.sh' (the last is used by mc if mplayer is not installed to display meta-information about video or audio files when one presses F3 to "view" a file). The last two are 'stats-conv.py' and 'idet.sh'. According to documentation in comments the first produces statistics from a file written by mpv. As for last one, I'm not sure if it is very helpfull for most users but it would be good to have (it is about detecting 'interlaced' files, I'm not understand that stuff at all).
It would be a nice addition, I've just run into this. mc looks for it on the $PATH though (`which mpv_identify.sh`), so putting it under /usr/share/mpv/scripts won't solve this issue oob.
The most important example is the python "upmv" script.

It is still not shipped by the Arch official mpv package.
