How should I handle MPV screenshot numbering?

[NeuroLine]

MPV by default will start screenshotting in a location starting with "mpv-shot0001" onwards; because I don't have my first 235 screenshots in my dedicated MPV screenshot folder, MPV will start from screenshot no. 1 and go up until it reaches 235, but I'm all the way up to 2,956 screenshots.
What do I input in the mpv.conf file to get MPV to go up from mpv-shot2956 onwards without changing the screenshot naming scheme?

For reference, this is what my mpv.conf file currently contains
screenshot-directory=C:\Users\USERNAME\Pictures\MPV_Test screenshot-template=mpv-shot%04n screenshot-format=jpg msg-level=screenshot=debug

The major issue is that screenshot-template=mpv-shot%04n does not work for starting from the highest numbered screenshot in the directory, as MPV instead starts over from mpv-shot0001 onwards until it reaches the higher numbered screenshot.
