Show clock on the screen.
Video tutorial:
Options can be set either on the command line, or in a config file.
In both cases, this script's identifier – clock – will be needed.
Use --script-opts=<identifier>-<option>=<value>,... to set options on the command line.
To set options in a config file, create the following file: ~/.config/mpv/script-opts/<identifier>.conf. Set options in the file, one per line, in the following fashion: <option>=<value>.
More information on mpv's script-opts command line and config file syntax can be found here (based on the example of the built-in osc.lua script).
NOTE: The table below shows values as they appear in the script's source code written in Lua. When passing script options on the command line, or setting them in a config file, in mpv you use the words yes and no instead of Lua's true and false, respectively.
The following options are available for this script:
| Option | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
font |
'VCR OSD Mono' |
The VCR OSD Mono font can be downloaded here: https://www.dafont.com/vcr-osd-mono.font |
font_size |
50 |
|
clock_position_x |
-327 |
Negative values indicate offset from the right. |
clock_position_y |
100 |
Negative values indicate offset from the bottom. |
datetime_format |
'%H:%M:%S' |
For a list of special character sequences, see https://www.lua.org/pil/22.1.html, or run man strftime in your terminal. |
update_timeout |
1 |
|
show_on_start |
false |
Keybindings can be remapped in ~/.config/mpv/input.conf. Add a line in the following format to remap a keybinding: <key> script-binding <name>.
If you remap a keybinding, you will likely want to disable the default keybinding by adding <default key> ignore to ~/.config/mpv/input.conf. See the video tutorial linked to above for a demonstration and for information on how to see what a given key is currently mapped to in mpv.
The following keybindings are available for this script:
| Key | Name |
|---|---|
? |
clock-show-hide |
