Re: [Ranger-users] Shell script over multiple files

[G Chandramouli]

Thanks Hut,

                  Excellent hack. It works !!!

 I was expecting something like "mpvsubs.sh $1 $2" where 1 and 2 will be filenames selected, whose extensions will be sorted out inside the script and mpv playing over them from the same script.
Anyways above solution rocks.

Thanks again,

Mouli

Hey there,

Can't think of an elegant way to do it, but you could type `yy` on the
subtitle, then navigating to the movie and running

    shell mpv %f --sub-file=%c

This "abuses" the copy buffer as a second file selector.

You could finish with a `uy` to clear the copy buffer to avoid
accidently copying the subtitle.  The whole command would then be:

    map X chain shell mpv %f --sub-file=%c; uncut
