# mpvipc-async
> **NOTE:** This is a fork of [gitlab.com/mpv-ipc/mpvipc](https://gitlab.com/mpv-ipc/mpvipc), which introduces a lot of changes to be able to use the library asynchronously with [tokio](https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio).
---
A small library which provides bindings to control existing mpv instances through sockets.
## Dependencies
- `mpv` (runtime dependency)
- `cargo-nextest` (optional test depencency)
- `grcov` (optional test depencency)
## Example
Make sure mpv is started with the following option:
```bash
$ 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.
```rust
use mpvipc_async::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), MpvError> {
let mpv = Mpv::connect("/tmp/mpv.sock").await?;
let paused: bool = mpv.get_property("pause").await?;
mpv.set_property("pause", !paused).await.expect("Error pausing");
}
```
