How to add a button in UI to toggle "autoload=yes/no", which is defined in script-opts/uosc.conf?

[rsyqvthv]

Most of the time, I am satisfied with autoload=no,
but sometimes, I would like to use autoload=yes when inspecting many video files.

I am a newbie at mpv scripting, I tried the following in input.conf, which doesn't work:

`F2 script-message cycle-cmd "script-message uosc/autoload yes" "script-message uosc/autoload no"

Any advice?

You can can use mpv's script-opts command. In your case that would be:

cycle-values script-opts uosc-autoload=yes uosc-autoload=no

I also just pushed a commit that adds support for using uosc options as cycle/toggle control property by setting its owner to uosc. Example:

controls=toggle:hdr_auto:autoload@uosc

Thank you! I am using the cycle-values option in uosc.conf, which is working great:

command:rotate_left:cycle-values script-opts uosc-autoload=yes uosc-autoload=no?autoload

It's nearly perfect, but this button doesn't show the status. I like that it has a solid white background when toggled on and cancels the background when toggled off, similar to how the "loop button" does.

How can I achieve this toggle button style?

That's exactly what my second example in the post above does. And to reiterate: this is only on main branch atm, not released yet, so if you want to use it, you have to update your uosc manually with files from the repo (src/uosc)

Thank you very much, I am not quite get how the controls work, I will try it later for the toggle style, you really help me a lot, thank you.
