Pause Indicator Lite

pause-icon play-icon

A simple script that displays an indicator on pause, with options to adjust icon, color, height, width, opacity and whether to toggle pause with a keybind or not.

I only decided to write this because the ones I found were either too complicated or too simple. The alternatives are great, this one just meets my simple use case scenario.

Script: Pause Indicator Lite

Indicator Options

Below is the full list for indicator options and their default values. To adjust them, simply change their values in local opts within the script.

Option Value Description
indicator_icon "pause" Which icon to show as indicator pause, play
indicator_stay true Should the pause indicator stay visible during pause?
indicator_stay_timeout 0.6 If it doesn't stay, how long should it last? (seconds)
keybind_allow true Allow keybind to toggle pause
keybind_set "mbtn_left" The set keybind to toggle pause [reference]
keybind_mode "onpause" Mode to activate keybind.

Notes

  • I don't plan to focus many updates on this script, because ASS drawing and positioning pisses me off. 😝
  • Other alternatives can be found in the mpv user scripts wiki.
  • This isn't exclusive to be used on ModernZ OSC. Feel free to use it with whatever you want.
