## What it is
uosc is a Lua script that adds a feature-rich, minimalist proximity-based user interface to the MPV media player. UI elements appear based on cursor proximity and include timeline, menus, track selection, subtitle downloading, and a plugin API for third-party scripts.

## Use cases
- add a modern UI to mpv player
- hide mpv controls until the mouse is near them
- download subtitles from Open Subtitles inside mpv
- build a custom context menu in mpv
- seek and control playback with the scroll wheel
- show video thumbnails on the seekbar
- select audio and subtitle tracks from a searchable menu

## When to choose
- you use mpv and want a polished, minimal on-screen interface
- you want fine-grained control over when player UI is visible
- you want menus, subtitle downloading, and thumbnails without switching players

## When to avoid
- you don't use mpv as your media player
- you prefer mpv's default OSC or a purely keyboard-driven workflow
- you need a full standalone video player application

## Facets
