The high-level properties are a few chosen ones that I suspect might be useful for most people, with catch-all enum variants for the less common ones.		2024-05-02 21:08:02 +02:00

mpvipc

A small library which provides bindings to control existing mpv instances through sockets.

To make use of this library, please make sure mpv is started with the following option: $ mpv --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpv.sock --idle ...

Dependencies

mpv
cargo (makedep)

Install

Cargo

You can use this package with cargo.

Example

Make sure mpv is started with the following option: $ mpv --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpv.sock --idle

Here is a small code example which connects to the socket /tmp/mpv.sock and toggles playback.

extern crate mpvipc;

use mpvipc::*;
use std::sync::mpsc::channel;

fn main() {
    let mpv = Mpv::connect("/tmp/mpv.sock").unwrap();
    let paused: bool = mpv.get_property("pause").unwrap();
    mpv.set_property("pause", !paused).expect("Error pausing");
}

For a more extensive example and proof of concept, see project mpvc.
