On the latest 2025 mpv the non third party playlist is so cool. Before that I used mpcqt for the playlist
just type g then p to activate it or click on the 3 horizontal lines hamburger button then playlist. Here is my configs with a png image of the mpv logo that always appears (cover.png) vid=1 makes sure its selected if there is no video. I figured this out myself without Grok.
--shuffle
--volume=84
--gapless-audio=yes
--audio-file-auto=no
--cover-art-auto=no
--cover-art-files=~/.config/mpv/cover.png
--vid=1
Additional configs for my default mpv wrapper on a 1920x1080 monitor. I wrote all of it myself except for the demuxer part, that was Grok for youtube buffering.
--geometry=50%:50% --autofit=500 --autofit-smaller=360x800 --force-window --loop-playlist \
--cache=yes --cache-secs=60 --demuxer-seekable-cache=yes --demuxer-max-bytes=200M "$@" &
additional mpv wrappers that make auto nightcore/daycore music. Also made myself (not with Grok)
Daycore (slow low pitch music)
--volume=81 --geometry=50%:50% --autofit=500 --autofit-smaller=360x800 --force-window --loop-playlist \
--cache=yes --cache-secs=60 --demuxer-seekable-cache=yes --demuxer-max-bytes=200M --audio-pitch-correction=no --speed=0.60 "$@" &
Nightcore (fast high pitch music)
--volume=81 --geometry=50%:50% --autofit=500 --autofit-smaller=360x800 --force-window --loop-playlist \
--cache=yes --cache-secs=60 --demuxer-seekable-cache=yes --demuxer-max-bytes=200M --audio-pitch-correction=no --speed=1.35 "$@" &
