The keyboard option does work. I didn't know that. I have a speaker
icon that I can click on to mute/unmute but that's it. I'd like to have
a control that I can click on and adjust, or better yet, just show up
all the time. When I scroll the mouse wheel, it moves forward or
backward. I prefer that really. I'm bad to skip forward through bits I
don't want to watch. The arrow keys work but the mouse button is faster
for me.

I have to admit, I keep saying I want to build playlist files for mpv,
smplayer or any other player, and then instead of selecting a large list
of videos, I just click on the playlist file, right click and open with
preferred player would be a good option too if one file would work with
any player. I keep saying I want to do that but I just never get around
to finding the time info to do it. I've really wanted to do this for
two reasons. I have some videos that have parts in a foreign language.
For those, I have the subtitle files. If I go to a directory and just
do a CTRL + A and try to open with Smplayer, the subtitle file makes it
not want to open because it is not a video file. The file types are
mixed. That file, because it has the same name as the video, is buried
in there, somewhere. Then when I added Franks checksum tool, it adds a
file to but I named it so that it will always be at the top. I do a
CTRL + A then click that file while holding the CTRL key to deselect
it. Still, it's a extra step. Having a playlist file would avoid all
of that.
Another reason I haven't done this, I have well north of 600 directories
that I need to create playlists for. It would take a while but I could
create them as I go to them to watch the videos. I just need to find
out how this is done. I'm thinking just doing a ls and piping it to a
file should work. I may have to edit out any subtitle files but other
than that, might work. Then again, there may be some tool that does
this already.
As it is, I have a entry in my right click menu that adds videos to the
Smplayer playlist. I have one entry that doesn't but it will add to the
playlist if it is already playing a video since Smplayer is set to
single instance. For mpv, I just have to highlight all the videos I
want to play and then open as a group. It will then treat them as a
playlist. For my use, it works fine. A playlist would improve things
in a way tho.
One of these days. At least now I can play my videos and have a clean
emerge after updating. ;-) I wonder, does Frank have a nifty script
for creating playlist files????/ ROFL
