# 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/mpvsocket --idle ...
|
||
|
|
`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Dependencies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `mpv`
|
||
|
|
- `cargo` (makedep)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [Cargo](https://crates.io/crates/mpvipc)
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
You can use this package with cargo.
|

|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure mpv is started with the following option:
|
||
|
|
`
|
||
|
|
$ mpv --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket --idle
|
||
|
|
`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is a small code example which connects to the socket /tmp/mpvsocket and toggles playback.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
use mpvipc::*;
|
||
|
|
use std::sync::mpsc::channel;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fn main() {
|
||
|
|
let mpv = Mpv::connect("/tmp/mpvsocket").unwrap();
|
||
|
|
let paused: bool = mpv.get_property("pause").unwrap();
|
||
|
|
mpv.set_property("pause", !paused).expect("Error pausing");
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
