Media Progress

Dmitriy Pshonko has an interesting project for those of us who like to (a) stay in Emacs and (b) use the mpv media player. The idea is that you can list your media files with dired and it will tell you where you left off in the file if you started but did not complete it. Files that you’ve completed are marked done and the rest are simply listed.

I almost always consume these files in one sitting but sometimes I get interrupted and it would be nice to have a way of picking up where I left off. I don’t use mpv so I haven’t installed this package but if I did use mpv, I certainly would. It’s in MELPA so installation is simple and configuration consisted of setting a hook. The README explains how to do this directly or with use-package and is in any event a one liner.

If you’re an Emacs and mpv user, this package seems like a very nice addition.
