Mpv: Ability to reload input.conf

[NightMachinary]

I like to be able to assign a keybinding to reload input.conf. It can have two modes, one loading the file on top of the current config, another one on top of the default config.

you should probably tell us your use-case, maybe your problem can be solved differently.

I add hotkeys the first time I need them, and I appreciate if I don’t have
to restart the app.

we could probably use mpv_load_config_file, though it will just load a new config and keeps everything that was loaded before. so it doesn't reset anything.

i am not sure if this is a desired behaviour?

As a workaround: you can quit-watch-later, then mpv will resume where it left (within a file and playlist)

This solves my use case. I don’t need to reset things.
