#linux #ubuntu #mpv #cli #socket

Starting MPV to be controlled by JSON IPC:

mpv --input-ipc-server='/tmp/mpvsocket' video.mp4

#https://mpv.io/manual/master/#json-ipc
#commands: https://mpv.io/manual/master/#list-of-input-commands
#properties: https://mpv.io/manual/master/#properties
#events: https://mpv.io/manual/master/#list-of-events

#nc can also be used instead of socat
