Is there a proper way to restart playback at the end of a video?

[garoto]

When "keep-open" is set to "yes", at end of playback, the video will pause at the last frame and stay there. What If I want to restart playing the same video again?

Currently, I have this keybinding set up that somewhat solves the problem, but the player will still be in a paused state requiring a second key press to start playing:

BS seek 0 absolute-percent ; show_text "Seek to 0% - ${playback-time} / ${duration} (${percent-pos}%)" 2000 0

I tried adding a "; cycle pause" to the end of that binding line, and while it works when the video indeed reached its end, it will pause the video if used while playback is still running.

Is there a better approach to accomplish this?

You could just set pause no instead of cycling through it.

Adding ; set pause no to the BS keybinding seems to resolve my issue. Thanks a lot haasn, I'd need years to figure that one out on my own 😊

I want to set b (for 'beginning') to do this, in this context.

But both b seek 0 absolute-percent; set pause no and b seek 0 absolute-percent; cycle pause still require the b to be pressed a second time to resume playback after going back to beginning.

Is there a different unpause we should use these days?

I believe this commit fixes the behavior you describe: fcf0b80

You're correct, I updated to the current build on macOS using brew install --HEAD mpv and it's all good, thank you!

I'm using the latest build and getting the behavior @mindfulsource described. No matter whether I put set pause no before or after seek, it doesn't unpause.

You can use my script to do that.

In input.conf: Space script-binding control/cycle-pause

This is a great solution. How the play button can be changed to replay (reload) button (both visually and functionally) after the video is finished.
