mpv Syndicate

A proof-of-concept for a new kind of plumbing.

The mpv_syndicate program starts an idle mpv instance and waits for assertions that enqueue videos. When this program is renamed (symlinked to mpv_syndicate) then it will enqueue each URI passed as command arguments.

Requires a local Syndicate server and is hardcoded to open a UNIX socket at /run/syndicate/ds.

nimble build # probably won't work, nimble is deprecated (unofficially)
ln -s mpv_syndicate enque_video

./enque_video file:///tmp/foo.mkv &
  # exits when all videos are enqueue

./mpv_syndicate
