Switch between mpv playlist entries using fzf and see the current programs using XMLTV

[wpdevelopment11]

Here is my little project: mpv-fzf-playlist that allows you to switch playlist entries using fzf in your terminal.

My use case is that I have mpv opened in fullscreen mode on TV and I don't want interact with OSC directly. Additionally, when I am watching IPTV I would like to see what is currently running on each channel, so I added support for XMLTV.

Comments are welcome.

mpv has a terminal playlist fuzzy selector builtin.

My mpv is old so I tried the latest version using snap. When I press g-p in a terminal, it draws the playlist selector on top of the main window, which is not quite the same. Sorry, if I don't understand something.

Updated the fzf script.
Fixed initial limitation with timezone handling of XMLTV files.

Updated my fzf script that allows you to switch mpv playlist entries and shows EPG.

Changes:

• Preserve the original order of playlist entries as in a m3u8 file.
  Before this change playlists entries where lexicographically sorted by title.
• Added an option to allow skip redownload of an EPG file.
  Useful for a large EPG that updates often.
• Mark the playlist item that is current right now.
  Some trickery was needed as fzf doesn't allow you to modify its buffer without reloading.
