 +==== Tips
 +
 +  * [[https://github.com/po5/thumbfast|thumbfast]] can generate thumbnails live, for instance when hovering over a seek bar, which can help find the start and end of a talk faster. (Note: it needs to be used with a UI script, and supports most MPV UIs)
 +  * [[https://github.com/po5/evafast|evafast]] gives fast-forward and seeking on the same key, which is rather convenient.
 +  * [[https://github.com/CounterPillow/mpv-quack|quack]] reduces the volume when seeking, to avoid torturing one's ears during cutting
 +
 +
 +For nix users: those are all packaged, and can be added with
 +
 +<code>
 +programs.mpv.scripts = with pkgs.mpvScripts; [
 +  evafast
 +  quack
 +  thumbfast # NOTE: useless on its own, combine with its builtin osc.lua, or with alt. OSCs like uosc
 +];
 +</code>
