A high-performance Lua script for the mpv media player that generates on-the-fly seekbar thumbnails without background CPU usage. It acts as a backend that UI scripts like uosc or ModernX call to display preview thumbnails when hovering over the timeline.
Use cases
- show video preview thumbnails when hovering over the mpv seekbar
- add timeline thumbnail previews to a custom mpv UI script
- generate thumbnails on demand without background thumbnail generation hogging CPU
- preview YouTube and web videos in mpv while scrubbing the timeline
- use thumbnail previews with mpv frontends like mpv.net or ImPlay
When to choose
- you use mpv and want seekbar thumbnail previews with no dependencies and minimal CPU overhead
- you maintain or use a custom mpv UI (uosc, ModernX, progressbar, etc.) and want to integrate thumbnail support
- you need thumbnails that respect applied video filters and mixed aspect ratio videos
When to avoid
- you want a standalone thumbnail generator or a GUI that displays thumbnails on its own - this script requires a separate UI script to render them
- you do not use mpv or an mpv-based frontend
- you need pre-generated thumbnail galleries or background thumbnail caching
