mpvipc-async

Note

This is a fork of gitlab.com/mpv-ipc/mpvipc. The fork adds support for use in asynchronous contexts.

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:

$ 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.

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");
}
