mpv

lua-mpris comes with the file mpv.lua which is a plugin for mpv.

Install that file into ~/.config/mpv/scripts by simply doing:

ln -s /path/to/lua-mpris/mpv.lua ~/.config/mpv/scripts/dbus.lua # cp works as well

# when using mpv with lua5.2 under debian best you add the dependencies direclty:

cd ~/.config/mpv/scripts
git clone https://github.com/dodo/lua-dbus
git clone https://github.com/dodo/lua-mpris mpris
git clone https://github.com/dodo/ldbus

cd ldbus
luarocks make --local ldbus-scm-0.rockspec LUA_INCDIR=/usr/include/lua5.2 DBUS_INCDIR=/usr/include/dbus-1.0/ DBUS_ARCH_INCDIR=/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include
#                                                                                                    or x64: DBUS_ARCH_INCDIR=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include
cd ..
