mpvipc

A Go implementation of mpv's IPC interface

Sample usage

• Run mpv

  $ mpv some_file.mkv --input-unix-socket=/tmp/mpv_socket
  

• Do things to it!

  package main
  
  import (
      "fmt"
      "log"
  
      "github.com/DexterLB/mpvipc"
  )
  
  func main() {
      conn := mpvipc.NewConnection("/tmp/mpv_rpc")
      err := conn.Open()
      if err != nil {
          log.Fatal(err)
      }
      defer conn.Close()
  
      events, stopListening := conn.NewEventListener()
  
      path, err := conn.Get("path")
      if err != nil {
          log.Fatal(err)
      }
      log.Printf("current file playing: %s", path)
  
      err = conn.Set("pause", true)
      if err != nil {
          log.Fatal(err)
      }
      log.Printf("paused!")
  
      _, err = conn.Call("observe_property", 42, "volume")
      if err != nil {
          fmt.Print(err)
      }
  
      go func() {
          conn.WaitUntilClosed()
          stopListening <- struct{}{}
      }()
  
      for event := range events {
          if event.ID == 42 {
              log.Printf("volume now is %f", event.Data.(float64))
          } else {
              log.Printf("received event: %s", event.Name)
          }
      }
  
      log.Printf("mpv closed socket")
  }
