Re: [emms-help] [PATCH] mpv player

[Petteri Hintsanen]

Hello all,

Regarding the mpv patch, I don't think it makes sense to pursue it any
further.  Namely, there is already a quite solid implementation
available at

  https://github.com/momomo5717/emms-player-simple-mpv

It is also available from MELPA via package.el.

I've been using it for some time now, and it works very well.  Besides
having tons of features, it has a particularly nice property of reusing
the same mpv process, while my patch kills mpv when switching between
playlist entries.  This causes irritating clicks on playback, at least
on my system.

The code is licensed under GPL3.  I have no idea how difficult it would
be to incorporate emms-player-simple-mpv to EMMS proper, though.

Thanks,
Petteri.
