Can you use tables with script-opts?

[Rabcor]

I have a script, e.g.

options = {
	-- Exclude these directories
	excluded_paths = { },
}

local utils = require "mp.utils"
mp.options = require "mp.options"

and script opts:

excluded_paths={"/home/", "/media/"}

But that doesn't work. Is there a way to make it work? Or do I have to format it as a string?

My current workaround is to use string formatting, then translating it to a table...

script-opts:

# Different values separated by | bars
excluded_paths=/home/|/media/

script:

options = {
	excluded_paths = "",
}

mp.options = require "mp.options"
mp.options.read_options(options)

-- Parse excluded paths
local excluded_paths = {}
for str in string.gmatch(options.excluded_paths, "([^|]+)") do
    excluded_paths[#excluded_paths + 1] = str
end

It works pretty well. I'd prefer to use tables directly though.

You need to use a string with separators or JSON.
