Move config path to "script-opts"

[snowman]

Now mpv uses directory "script-opts/" as config path, which we should follow.

Are the scripts working for you with mpv 0.33+ ?

[snowman]

yes, but i don't want to maintain two different options folder.

[elig0n]

I think this repo's maintainer is long unresponsive.

Anyway I could not get Blackbox.js or other scripts from this repo even with your patch to run on the newer mpv.
It's also too bad there is no Issues page around.

[snowman]

emm, I thought you were a maintainer, anyway, this is going to be off-topic.

Try add following script into your MPV_CONFIG_DIR/.init.js:

// deprecated directory
mp.module_paths.unshift("~~/scripts/modules.js");

Below to reproduce:

$ mpv --version
mpv 0.33.1-dirty Copyright © 2000-2020 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects

$ git clone https://github.com/VideoPlayerCode/mpv-tools /tmp/mpv-tools

$ cd /tmp/mpv-tools

$ cat <<EOF > .init.js
// deprecated directory
mp.module_paths.unshift("~~/scripts/modules.js");
EOF

$ cat <<EOF > input.conf
ctrl+b script-binding Blackbox
ctrl+f script-binding Blackbox_Favorites
EOF

$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=10:size=1280x720:rate=30 sample.mp4

$ mpv --config-dir=. sample.mp4
// press "ctrl+b" open Blackbox menu

That got it working for me again thanks! I didn't know ~/scripts/modules.js was deprecated. So what does the unshift do to that path ?
Meanwhile I've merged your commit to my fork. I also put there some small usability tweaks you are welcome to check.

Is it a problem to keep script and script-opts...
Will it give any problem??

[Arghadatta]

And what is the updated fork that i can use??
Dev purposes...

First time trying to get MPV working with Colorbox.
mpv v0.34.1 built from Homebrew on Mac OS 11.6.8

Downloaded your commits for new folder name (script-opts), and following VideoPlayerCode Install-Notes instructions here for renaming Colorbox.js to main.js etc. results in broken functionality of video tools. Following errors in log:

Any ideas please? Thanks.
