The current focus is on UNIX/Linux OSes, supporting Windows is out of scope ATM. Your best aim for using mpvc under Windows is to follow mpv documentation: https://mpv.io/manual/master/#command-prompt-example
- First, step should be installing Cygwin/MSYS2 and mpv.
- Second, step should be getting mpvc.
- Third, should be getting a socat (see socat.ps1) replacement command under windows to perform read/write on the
MPVC_SOCKET
named pipe used by mpv/mpvc. - Last, AFAIK nobody has got to this point, so if somebody gets mpvc working on windows, report back, and update this.
Check mpv-mpris instruction, below is a quick setup:
mkdir -p ~/.config/mpv/scripts
curl -o ~/.config/mpv/scripts/mpris.so https://github.com/hoyon/mpv-mpris/releases/download/1.0/mpris.so
Then, once mpv speaks MPRIS, if your WM does not speak MPRIS, get playerctl.
