Feature proposal: optional right-side playlist panel with search and persistent state

[airevolu]

Hi, I have been experimenting with an optional right-side playlist panel for mpv.net in my fork.

Release build:
https://github.com/airevolu/mpvnet/releases/tag/v7.1.3.0

Caption: Right-side playlist panel with search, scrollable file list, current item highlight, and preserved video area.

What changed

This prototype adds a real side playlist panel without replacing the original mpv.net playlist overlay.

Main behavior:

• F8 toggles the new right-side playlist panel.
• Ctrl+F8 keeps access to the original mpv.net playlist overlay.
• The panel is shown as a right-side owned window so it is not covered by video rendering.
• Playlist items can be clicked to switch playback.
• The panel has a search box.
• Search supports Chinese input method usage.
• Up/Down keys can move selection in search results.
• The playlist has its own vertical scrollbar.
• Panel width can be resized and saved.
• Playlist state and panel visibility can be saved/restored.
• Existing player behavior was kept as much as possible.

Also included in this fork release

• A small Settings window entry from the context menu.
• Shortcut editor access.
• Language selector support.
• Generated language files for Debug/portable usage.

Compatibility goal

The implementation tries not to disturb the existing player core, video area mouse behavior, window dragging, double-click fullscreen, right-click menu, and original playlist overlay.

Manual smoke tests done

I tested the following locally:

• Open file
• Play/pause
• Seek bar drag
• Window drag
• Double-click fullscreen
• Right-click menu
• F8 new playlist panel
• Ctrl+F8 original playlist overlay
• Click playlist item to switch playback
• Search with Chinese input
• Close and reopen app

Notes

This is currently a fork/prototype release, not an official mpv.net release.

Portable x64 build only, no installer:

I wanted to share the idea and ask whether this kind of optional right-side playlist panel would be interesting for upstream mpv.net.

已经下载试用。功能正常好用，我可能没什么要求，两种列表对我来说没什么区别，毕竟我按F8时已经对当前视频内容不关注了，反而字变小了，还要侧着头去看。是否可能在mpvnet.conf里面增加个开关，在配置管理器里面可以选择F8是哪种列表？
有没有可能把配置管理器内容都做成多语言？
期待您的更新

还有，咱网络不好，既然没有打包.net，有没有可能打包的版本增加一个update版本，把mediainfo.dll/libmpv-2.dll，还有对普通用户没用的.pdb这些文件也排除？
