A simple playback control UI in the web browser for mpv. Supports playback, seeking, and limited playlist editing. Once the page is served to the client communication is handled by a web socket. This allows for multiple remote devices to connect to the same client while all having control and displaying consistent information.
Clone the repository into your mpv configuration scripts directory
git clone https://github.com/spaghettijeff/mpvRemote "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpv/scripts/mpv-remote"On startup a qr code will be displayed that can be used to connect to the client via the local network (this can be disabled in the settings).
Make sure to start mpv with mpv --idle so that mpv does not close immediately if you wish to start playback from a remote device.
An example configuration is provided in script-opts/mpv-remote.conf. You can copy this into your mpv configurations script-opts directory
mkdir -p "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpv/script-opts/"
cp "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpv/scripts/mpv-remote/script-opts/mpv-remote.conf" "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpv/script-opts/"
