+--[[
+    An addon that loads root items from a `~~/script-opts/file-browser-root.json` file.
+    The contents of this file will override the root script-opt.
+
+    The json file takes the form of a list array as defined by the addon API:
+    https://github.com/CogentRedTester/mpv-file-browser/blob/master/addons/addons.md#the-list-array
+
+    The main purpose of this addon is to allow for users to customise the appearance of their root items
+    using the label or ass fields:
+
+    [
+        { "name": "Favourites/" },
+        { "label": "~/", "name": "C:/Users/User/" },
+        { "label": "1TB HDD", "name": "D:/" },
+        { "ass": "{\\c&H007700&}Green Text", "name": "E:/" },
+        { "label": "FTP Server", name: "ftp://user:password@server.com/" }
+    ]
+
+    Make sure local directories always end with `/`.
+    `path` and `name` behave the same in the root but either name or label should have a value.
