just_audio_mpv 0.1.3

Use the installed MPV as a backend for playing audio.

just_audio with MPV

This platform interface allows you to use just_audio on Linux with the user's installed MPV.

This uses mpv_dart, which uses a local socket to communicate with mpv over JSON IPC. mpv takes care of all the file loading, shuffling, looping, pretty much everything.

Installation

Users with software that uses just_audio_mpv have to install mpv. A recent version is highly recommended. The mpv binary must be present in the PATH. One of the following commands should do this for you:

For Debian and Ubuntu, add this repository and run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mpv

For Arch, get https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mpv-git/ via AUR and install it. This can be done with something like:

yay -S mpv-git

For Fedora:

sudo yum install mpv

If your app is to be packaged as a Flatpak, you can add io.mpv.Mpv as a dependency (don't ask me how, I've never built for it).

For other distributions, you might want to look into https://mpv.io/installation/.

Currently it is not possible to tell just_audio_mpv to use a bundled mpv.
