Pause Indicator Lite

pause-icon play-icon

A simple script that displays an indicator on pause, with options to adjust icon type, color, height, width, opacity and whether to toggle pause with a keybind or not.

I only decided to write this because the ones I found were either too complicated or too simple. The alternatives are great, this one just meets my simple use case scenario.

Script: Pause Indicator Lite

Indicator Options

Below is the full list for indicator options and their default values.

To adjust them you can either:

  • Place pause_indicator_lite.conf in script-opts and change the values in it [recommended]
  • Simply change their values in local options within the script itself
Option Value Description
indicator_icon pause indicator icon type. pause, play
indicator_stay yes keep indicator visibile during pause
indicator_timeout 0.6 timeout (seconds) if indicator doesn't stay
keybind_allow yes allow keybind to toggle pause
keybind_set mbtn_left the used keybind to toggle pause [reference]
keybind_mode onpause mode to activate keybind.
onpause: only active when paused, to unpause
always: always active to toggle pause/unpause
keybind_eof_disable yes disable keybind on eof (end of file) [reference]

Notes

  • I don't plan to focus many updates on this script, because ASS drawing and positioning pisses me off. 😝
  • Other alternatives can be found in the mpv user scripts wiki.
  • This isn't exclusive to be used on ModernZ OSC. Feel free to use it with whatever you want.
