Unstable behaviour while catching thumbs (with mpv) about mpv_thumbnail_script

[TheAMM]

Hmm. This is because mpv is being called in the background.
I don't have a Mac to test on (and don't know much about the ecosystem), so this could get complicated.

So let's try the first thing I can come up with.
Please edit the mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua near line 417, adjust it as follows:

diff --git a/mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua b/new.lua
index 6a9686e..94e00ab 100644
--- a/mpv_thumbnail_script_server.lua
+++ b/new.lua
@@ -417,6 +417,7 @@ function create_thumbnail_mpv(file_path, timestamp, size, output_path)
         "mpv",
         -- Hide console output
         "--msg-level=all=no",
+        "--player-operation-mode=cplayer",
         file_path,
 
         -- Disable ytdl

(Add the "--player-operation-mode=cplayer", without the leading +)

This might fix it, so fingers crossed.

I'm afraid it did not... but got it a bit narrowed down; it only occurs when opening the files by double clicking them in the finder, from the terminal behaviour is ok, I disabled all other scripts, plugs and settings to be sure. OT but just thought it could be useful to have a settings to choose IF automatically delete thumbs from temp once video is closed.

this should be fixed with the next mpv release. the fix is currently only in mpv master.

Closing this in advance unless something new pops up.
