Compact Mode: OSC Elements

[Samillion]

I've been focused a lot on the compact mode layout for ModernZ, requested by @houssemko and discussed previously with @Xurdejl and @Keith94 in #209 (comment)

I'm liking it a lot the more I apply it. I don't have previews ready yet, but I might make it default (with both options available).

Compact OSC Sketch:

[title]
[time] ==================[seekbar]================== [time]
[play control+volume]                 [track+extra buttons]

Additionally, @guidocella has been doing great work with console/select, and show-properties is tempting me so much.

In essence, global menu for playlist, chapters, tracks, edition:

Which would be great for compact mode, combining Playlist, Audio Track and Subtitle Track into a single button.

Proposed changes:

• Place timestamps in the same line as seekbar (to reduce deadspace)
• Remove "jump buttons" from compact mode completely
• Combine all menus into a single button (Playlist, chapters, subtitle tracks, audio tracks..etc)
• [Hesitant] Add chapter buttons on far right or left in [title] line
  • [chapter buttons] [title] or [title]-----------[chapter buttons]

Place timestamps in the same line as seekbar (to reduce deadspace)

It should probably handle dynamic times and milliseconds too, otherwise it can overlap the seekbar (as seen in this fork)

Remove "jump buttons" from compact mode completely

Fine with that since it can be achieved with keybinds anyway.

Combine all menus into a single button (Playlist, chapters, subtitle tracks, audio tracks..etc)

Would be nice to have or even as a context menu.

[Hesitant] Add chapter buttons on far right or left in [title] line

How would that work if you have the title disabled.. use the window title instead? Hmm.

I have an old branch in my config with inline timestamps, https://github.com/Xurdejl/mpv-config/tree/feat/timecode-seekbar-inline in case it helps.

Personally, I never use them, only the hotkeys

Combine all menus into a single button (Playlist, chapters, subtitle tracks, audio tracks..etc)

This is a cool feature, even for the regular version.

Fully agreed. Thank you guys very much for the references, it helps a lot. In a few days I'll post a working version for testing and adjustment.

Check this out: mpv-player/mpv#15441

Now that's another reason that makes the "one button" menu even more awesome.
