"""
|
|
This script emulates "unique application" functionality on Linux. When starting
|
|
playback with this script, it will try to reuse an already running instance of
|
|
mpv (but only if that was started with umpv). Other mpv instances (not started
|
|
by umpv) are ignored, and the script doesn't know about them.
|
|
|
|
This only takes filenames as arguments. Custom options can't be used; the script
|
|
interprets them as filenames. If mpv is already running, the files passed to
|
|
umpv are appended to mpv's internal playlist. If a file does not exist or is
|
|
otherwise not playable, mpv will skip the playlist entry when attempting to
|
|
play it (from the GUI perspective, it's silently ignored).
|
|
|
|
If mpv isn't running yet, this script will start mpv and let it control the
|
|
current terminal. It will not write output to stdout/stderr, because this
|
|
will typically just fill ~/.xsession-errors with garbage.
|
|
|
|
mpv will terminate if there are no more files to play, and running the umpv
|
|
script after that will start a new mpv instance.
|
|
|
|
Note that you can control the mpv instance by writing to the command fifo:
|
|
|
|
echo "cycle fullscreen" > ~/.umpv_fifo
|
|
|
|
Note: you can supply custom mpv path and options with the MPV environment
|
|
variable. The environment variable will be split on whitespace, and the
|
|
first item is used as path to mpv binary and the rest is passed as options
|
|
_if_ the script starts mpv. If mpv is not started by the script (i.e. mpv
|
|
is already running), this will be ignored.
