Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

It would be great if you could have a loop button in the video player controls.
A shuffle button would also be great.
Mpv supports these functions (at least with the mpris plugin).
Exposing these buttons in the ui seems like a nice thing.

If there is a plugin for these buttons i did not find any.
If there is a way to have these buttons help is appreciated.

Alternative behavior of the wanted feature

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify whether loop and shuffle belong in mpv itself or an external UI or MPRIS plugin, then define the supported player-control behavior. Done requires an agreed scope and an implementation path for both requested controls.
