Seek Bar Colors?

[luke-kaiser]

Hello! In the preview on the UOSC GitHub, the seek bar appears to shows colors and patterns depending on chapter and highlights the played duration blue.

I ran the installer and it appears to be working properly, but my entire seek bar is black regardless of time played or chapters discovered:

Is there a configuration line I need to change?

Ctrl+F chapter in the sample config file.

uosc/src/uosc.conf

Lines 203 to 218 in 28e9684

	# Adds chapter range indicators to some common chapter types.
	# Additionally to displaying the start of the chapter as a diamond icon on top of the timeline,
	# the portion of the timeline of that chapter range is also colored based on the config below.
	#
	# The syntax is a comma-delimited list of `{type}:{color}` pairs, where:
	# `{type}` => range type. Currently supported ones are:
	# - `openings`, `endings` => anime openings/endings
	# - `intros`, `outros` => video intros/outros
	# - `ads` => segments created by sponsor-block software like https://github.com/po5/mpv_sponsorblock
	# `{color}` => an RGB(A) HEX color code (`rrggbb`, or `rrggbbaa`)
	#
	# To exclude marking any of the range types, simply remove them from the list.
	chapter_ranges=openings:30abf964,endings:30abf964,ads:c54e4e80
	# Add alternative lua patterns to identify beginnings of simple chapter ranges (except for `ads`)
	# Syntax: `{type}:{pattern}[,{patternN}][;{type}:{pattern}[,{patternN}]]`
	chapter_range_patterns=openings:オープニング;endings:エンディング

I'm using the default configuration, so it's the same configuration file as the one you showed. Like the one you linked, it assigns colors to openings, endings, and ads. However, I still get the output shown in the original post. Do I need to change something for the colors to appear? It looks like the lines assigning colors (chapter_ranges, chapter_range_patterns) should execute, so I am expecting colors but see none.

It seems from your screenshot that your chapters do not have titles. But I can't know for sure. You have provided zero information.

[luke-kaiser]

I will try to find some content that follows a different title structure. It was not clear to me that proper labeling was required to get this feature to work; I thought perhaps it was some internal algorithm, as is present in some other media players. Thanks, though!

We just match chapter titles, looking for strings like op, ed, opening, ending, intro, outro, and sponsorblock signature titles and IDs.

If your video file has untitled chapters, there won't be any colored chapter ranges in the timeline, as there's no reliable way for us to identify them.

@tomasklaen
I have similar issue, specifically the "intros/outros" never get colored, the openings/endings works fine though, also if I add "Intro/s , intro/s" to the 'openings' custom pattern it does get colored.

You can see the current matching patterns here:

uosc/src/uosc/lib/utils.lua

Lines 651 to 654 in 6fa34c3

	patterns = {
	'^intro$', ' intro$',
	'^avant$', '^prologue$',
	},

If you have an idea how to improve them, PR welcome.
