ratings-based-shuffle
=====================
Simple mpv script to easily customize random playlist song selection.
Usage
-----
Every file initially has a 'rating' of `1`. Using the upvote/downvote keybindings, the rating of the currently playing file can be multiplied by 1.1 or 0.9. In RBS mode (activated by another keybinding), a new file is randomly chosen (chance [rating]/[files in playlist]) after playback of any file is completed.
Installation and configuration
------------------------------
Place `ratings-based-shuffle.lua` in your `~/.config/mpv/scripts`.
Copy `ratings-based-shuffle.conf` into `~/.config/mpv/script-opts` and adjust the option values: set `directory` to the location of the files you want to play. Ratings will be saved in the file specified by `ratings_file`. Example:
```
directory=/home/username/Music/BigPlaylist
ratings_file=/home/username/.config/mpv/rbs-ratings.txt
```
Set up the keybindings in your `input.conf` (usually located in `~/.config/mpv`):
```
Alt+r script-message RBS-init
Alt+UP script-message RBS-upvote
Alt+DOWN script-message RBS-downvote
```
Technical details
-----------------
Only absolute paths are stored in the `ratings_file`:
```json
{
"/home/username/Music/BigPlaylist/Topic/Directory/Song Name.mp3":1.100000,
"/home/username/Music/BigPlaylist/Another topic/LoremIpsum.mp3":0.810000
}
```
