won't create video clip + change in slashes with preferences?

[mooniehilton]

no matter what i do, i cannot create a video clip and it'll just be stuck at "Please wait...". i don't know if this is an issue with my preferences of output being too high or what but i've tried messing with those and it still has the same result?

there's also a problem with my preferences not saving within mpv and the slashes being messed up halfway through. (note that i don't have a -master folder so i don't know if i have to create that to fix the issue)

The second problem is most likely a result of some incorrect path transforming.

The first one is hard to reason about. Does it take forever even with the default settings?

videoclip/videoclip.lua

Line 449 in 498a4d0

local mpv_dirpath = string.gsub(mp.get_script_directory(), "scripts[\\/]%w+", "")

apparently, %w doesn't include the minus sign which is present in your path.

I had the same first problem.
I updated my videoclip.conf file save paths from default to what I wanted. video_folder_path=D:\Videos

On Windows 10 and this mpv version,

videoclip.conf don't work when I write liked:

video_folder_path = C:\\Users\\User\\Videos
audio_folder_path = C:\\Users\\User\\Music
...

Until I noticed the errors say:

[videoclip] script-opts/videoclip.conf:1 unknown key 'video_folder_path ', ignoring
[videoclip] script-opts/videoclip.conf:2 unknown key 'audio_folder_path ', ignoring

It's weird that it work when write liked:

video_folder_path=C:\\Users\\User\\Videos
audio_folder_path=C:\\Users\\User\\Music
...

I habitually used Space in .conf files and I always thought it was just a difference in writing style😦.

mpv doesn't like spaces around =. This is a quirk in the config parser implementation.
