Sample Files

No response

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:

• I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
• I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
• I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
• I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
• I attached the full, untruncated log file.
• I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

This may be a duplicate of #2595

The functionality of autoload.lua already exists with the --autocreate-playlist option.

Not quite sure why this is at demuxer section

--directory-filter-types=video

I am happy that I asked in GitHub. I did plow through the documentation and man file for hours and came back with nothing.
