MPVDemo-macOS

This is a Xamarin macOS Project to example how to Use MPV to play video.

Basic flow

1. Finding MPV dylibs
2. Using DllImport to bind dylibs
3. Play video

Finding MPV Dylibs

The most easiest way is grabbing it from Here and all these libs were modified from IINA project.

IINA's original dylibs were using @rpath to solve the Search Path which will cause System.DllNotFoundException.

You can fix it by install_name_tool thanks to brendanzagaeski.

Quick Example:

otool -L libavfilter.6.dylib

install_name_tool -change @rpath/libavutil.55.dylib  @loader_path/libavutil.55.dylib  libavfilter.6.dylib

DllImport

DllImport is C# way to do dlopen.

You can find the instruction from Xamarin Website.

Quick Example:

[DllImport("libmpv.1.25.0.dylib", EntryPoint = "mpv_create")]
private static extern IntPtr MpvCreate();

Play

MPV has made a great example of how to interaction mpv with C# at mpv-exmaples and mpvnet.

Cocoa platform's specific can also be found at cocoa-example

var windowId = VideoView.Handle.ToInt64();

MpvInitialize(_mpvHandle);

DoMpvCommand("loadfile", _mediaFilePath);

Play();
