comp - Curses Omni Media Player
===============================
**comp** is a `mpv <https://mpv.io/>`_ front-end using curses. It has basic
media player functions and can to extract playlists from multiple sources such
as media sites supported by `youtube-dl <https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/>`_,
local and direct URL to video/audio and its own JSON playlist format.

Installation
------------
**comp** requires Python 3.5+ with ``curses`` module (only available on
Unix-like OSes such as GNU/Linux and the BSDs) and ``libmpv`` (available as
``libmpv1`` in Debian/Ubuntu, openSUSE; and as ``mpv`` in Arch Linux, Gentoo,
macOS Homebrew repository). It also depends on ``python-mpv`` and
``youtube-dl`` but the setup program will automatically install them if they
are missing.
As ``setuptools`` will `install in an egg and cause breakage
<https://github.com/McSinyx/comp/issues/5>`_, using ``pip`` (Python 3 version)
is a must. After `installing it <https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing/>`_,
run ``pip3 install comp`` (you might want to add ``--user`` flag to use the
`User Scheme <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#user-installs>`_).
For developers, clone the `Github repo <https://github.com/McSinyx/comp>`_ then
simply run the ``comp`` executable to test the program. If you insist on
installing it, still use ``pip3``: ``pip3 install .``. Note that **comp** is
distibuted in a ``wheel`` created via ``./setup.py bdist_wheel``.

Keyboard control
----------------
Bindings inherited from mpv
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For convenience purpose, I try to mimic **mpv** default keybindings, but many
are slightly different from **mpv** exact behaviour (mainly because of the lack
of keys which are unsupported by ``curses``). So I will list all of them here
for you to `compare <https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/mpv.rst#keyboard-control>`_:
Left and Right
Seek backward/forward 5 seconds. Shifted arrow does a 1 second seek.
Up and Down
Seek backward/forward 1 minute.
``[`` and ``]``
Decrease/increase current playback speed by 10%.
``{`` and ``}``
Halve/double current playback speed.
Backspace
Reset playback speed to normal.
``<`` and ``>``
Go backward/forward in the playlist.
Return
Start playing.
Space / ``p``
Pause (pressing again unpauses).
``.``
Step forward. Pressing once will pause, every consecutive press will play
one frame and then go into pause mode again.
``,``
Step backward. Pressing once will pause, every consecutive press will play
one frame in reverse and then go into pause mode again.

overriding them almost completely with the normal subtitle style.
``V``
Toggle subtitle VSFilter aspect compatibility mode.
``r`` and ``t``

Movements and selections

The following keybindings are Emacs-like since most characters are taken by
**mpv**.
Ctrl-``p`` and Ctrl-``n``
Move a single line up/down.
Alt-``v`` and Ctrl-``v``
Move a single page up/down.
Home / Ctrl-``<`` and End / Ctrl-``>``

Ctrl-``i``
Insert playlist.
Ctrl-``f`` and Alt-``f``

Configuration files
-------------------
If not specified by the ``--config``, (user-specific) configuration file is
``~/.config/comp/settings.ini``. Default configurations
are listed below::
[comp]
# Initial playing mode, which can be one of these 8 modes: play-current,
# play-all, play-selected, repeat-current, repeat-all, repeat-selected,
# shuffle-all and shuffle-selected.
play-mode = play-current
[mpv]
# Options to be parsed to mpv. See OPTIONS section on mpv(1) man pages for
# its complete list of available options.
# For example:
#vo = xv
#ontop = yes
#border = no
#force-window = yes
#autofit = 500x280
#geometry = -15-50
[youtube-dl]
# Video format/quality to be passed to youtube-dl. See FORMAT SELECTION in
# youtube-dl(1) man page for more details and descriptions.
format = bestvideo+bestaudio
Bugs
----
Media durations are not extracted from online playlists as
``youtube-dl.YoutubeDL`` option ``extract_flat`` is set to ``'in_playlist'``.
This is rather a feature to save up bandwidth than a bug because a track's
duration is updated when it's played.
