Script Overlaps with mpv logo

[Cananbolt]

Thank you for the great script. It is very useful, but one thing I would like is to be able to hide the mpv logo when script is active and deactivate it when its inactive.

Reference that may help:
CogentRedTester/mpv-file-browser#55

I simply hide the OSC altogether before I show the menu, which I hope and believe is sufficient for my use case, it's certainly a very simple solution.

F1 script-message osc-visibility never no_osd; script-binding M-x

Thank you for the suggestion, this works great, however, the problem is I want the osd or osc to return back once I am finished using the script. Do you have any ideas on how this may be done?

I think for that, it's necessary to modify the menu script.

In my osm.lua script, I only invoke the input command script-message osc-idlescreen no no_osd, so it only hides the logo, and the logo does not return when the osm menu closes, for me that is sufficient as long as not many users request an improvement.

mpv-file-browser has a solution, not the best possible in my opinion, CogentRedTester prefers it, and it works.

There are two ways:

1. How it is done by mpv-file-browser:
   CogentRedTester/mpv-file-browser@b90c5a9
   CogentRedTester/mpv-file-browser@cd90c1b
2. I would try the following, read the state of the OSC, it's saved in shared-script-properties as osc-visibility. Before showing the menu, I would hide the OSC: script-message osc-visibility never no_osd, after the menu closes, the OSC state can be restored.

I hope Seme4eg will find some time and work on feedback users provide, or people help with pull request. I find the script incredibly useful, and it's designed very well.

I was actually able to find a temporary fix with my configuration of mpv. This may not work for everyone, but since it somehow worked for me, I wanted to share it and hope that it works for someone else as well.

Here are the Steps

1. Install cycle-commands.lua from CogentRedTeset
2. Open input.conf
3. Type in <keybind> script-message cycle-commands "script-message osc-visibility auto ; script-binding M-x" "script-message osc-visibility never"
4. Open mpv
5. Press the keybind (you made on step 3) twice to have osc-visibility on never
6. Once you finished using M-x press ESC to close M-x (or whatever keybind you assigned to close M-x)
7. Then the mpv logo should just reappear, along with the osc-visibility

In the future, there may be a better fix than this, but, for now, hopefully, this does work for everyone else.
