MPRIS plugin for mpv

mpv-mpris's Issues

[Gnome] Media keys don't work after a while

First of all, thanks for your plugin!

Since I've started using it, I noticed the media keys stops working after a while in my Gnome (Fedora 29).

Not sure if it's a Gnome specific issue or something related to your plugin, maybe like missing to free a dbus lock (take this with a pinch of salt, I don't know how it works 😝 ).

I have not identified the exact steps exactly but I think it has to do with running multiple instances in parallel.

If you have any idea how I could gather more info for you let me know.

Crash in g_utf8_validate

[This is a copy of mpv-player/mpv/issues/6118].

mpv version and platform

v0.29.0
built on Jul 22 2018
ffmpeg library versions:
libavutil 56.14.100
libavcodec 58.18.100
libavformat 58.12.100
libswscale 5.1.100
libavfilter 7.16.100
libswresample 3.1.100
ffmpeg version: 4.0.2

Reproduction steps

Start a radio stream which reports "icy-title" (what's currently played) and have an invalid UTF-8 character in there. In my case it was, perhaps, in another encoding.

Expected behaviour

mpv skips the invalid character.

Actual behaviour

mpv crashes with the following message:

A: 01:09:21 / 01:09:37 (99%) Cache: 16s+498KB
File tags:
 icy-title: NEK - LAURA NON C�

(process:15290): GLib-CRITICAL **: 15:09:02.059: g_variant_new_string: assertion 'g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed
dbus[15290]: arguments to dbus_message_iter_append_basic() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_utf8 (*string_p)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 2754.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

They closed it with:

Looks like a problem in the mpris plugin, as mpv by itself does not use dbus.

At that time this bug happened I was on commit d741f7a.

mpv-mpris shows unexpected behaviour while mpris indicator button (Gnome Shell extension) is installed

Original issue: flathub/io.mpv.Mpv#23 (comment)

A lot of config parameters of mpv are reset to default while mpv-mpris and the mpris indicator button extension is enabled. See original issue for details.

test failed because not pass `--no-config `

Hi

when run make test, the test failed because mpv reads the user or systemwide config file. wich can cantains the entry wich enable the mpirs plugin installed by the user in other instance. this cause malfuction between the old plugin and the new builded version, because is loaded twice

adding the line '--no-config ' between

Still cannot install (enabled cplugins)

Hello, I would like to get any pieces of advice about how to install mpv-mpris. I'm working on script for gotubecast so I need this plugin.

I builded mpv 0.32.0-514-g502e798 succesfully on my pc with command ./scripts/mpv-build --enable-cplugins.

I got an error while installing mpris:

mpris.c: In function 'mpv_open_cplugin':
mpris.c:968:32: error: 'G_BUS_NAME_OWNER_FLAGS_DO_NOT_QUEUE' undeclared (first use in this function)
G_BUS_NAME_OWNER_FLAGS_DO_NOT_QUEUE,

Thank you for your replies

Play nicely with multiple `mpv` instances

I don't know exactly what the correct behaviour in general for this ought to be, but I observed the following behaviour that I would consider to be a bug:

• Pause music I was listening to in mpv
• Start watching a video with another instance of mpv
  • MPRIS now emits the track information from the video (good)
• Video runs until the end

Now, I can resume the music with MPRIS (good), but the track information emitted is that of the video I watched instead of the music.

Cue sheet support

I found that mpv treats cue sheet entries as chapters. If a cue sheet contains 4 entries (i.e. 4 songs / pieces of music), it means that there will be 4 chapters.

If I change this ... (Lines 378 - 386)

    } else if (g_strcmp0(method_name, "Next") == 0) {
        const char *cmd[] = {"playlist_next", NULL};
        mpv_command_async(ud->mpv, 0, cmd);
        g_dbus_method_invocation_return_value(invocation, NULL);

    } else if (g_strcmp0(method_name, "Previous") == 0) {
        const char *cmd[] = {"playlist_prev", NULL};
        mpv_command_async(ud->mpv, 0, cmd);
        g_dbus_method_invocation_return_value(invocation, NULL);

... into this,

    } else if (g_strcmp0(method_name, "Next") == 0) {
        const char *cmd[] = {"add", "chapter", "1", NULL};
        mpv_command_async(ud->mpv, 0, cmd);
        g_dbus_method_invocation_return_value(invocation, NULL);

    } else if (g_strcmp0(method_name, "Previous") == 0) {
        const char *cmd[] = {"add", "chapter", "-1", NULL};
        mpv_command_async(ud->mpv, 0, cmd);
        g_dbus_method_invocation_return_value(invocation, NULL);

Then "Media Next" and "Media Previous" keyboard keys, which are originally used to jump to the next / previous file in playlist, will be used to jump to the next / previous entry in cue sheet.

For VLC (which does not require additional mpris plugin), when a .cue file is played, the keys jump to the next / previous entry in cue sheet. (However, this behavior of VLC does not apply to video files with chapter markers.)

Will it be possible / suitable for the mpv-mpris plugin to detect whether a cue sheet file is being played, and switches the mode to work on cue sheet entries instead of playlist file entries?

add a configuration flag to mute rather than pause when pause command recived

I am thinking this feature would be useful for the auto profiles and also if people have profiles for streaming services where pausing should really be avoided and muting the content would be preferred

Crash when --loop-playlist is used

This was tested with mpv 0.31.0 from RPM Fusion and self-compiled
something must have changed because in mpv 0.29.0 it worked just fine

Could not load SO plugin

Compiled it fresh from git with gcc 7.1.1. mpv is also freshly compiled from git, with the same gcc version. All it does is spit a pointer into the terminal.

New compiled release?

Dear @hoyon,

I saw your latest commits.

Could you provide a newly compiled release version on the release page?

Could not load SO plugin

MPV is finding the file correctly, however cannot LOAD it.

The full log is below, however the "tl;dr" is:

• [mpris] Could not load SO plugin /tmp/mpv-mpris/mpris.so
• [mpris] Could not load SO plugin /home/james/.config/mpv/scripts/mpris.so

(This is a separate issue from #1, which was caused by the fact that MPV doesn't internally parse tildes to the value of HOME—in this situation, the file is being specified correctly fails to activate.)

mpris.so references gcc

Hi :)

I use your program daily, it's very useful. Thank you for creating it and maintaining it.

I'm using NixOS and our package manager (Nix) has a certain mechanism to detect why a package / file depends on a file from a different package. So for example, since your package depends on glib, glib is detected as a runtime dependency.

Unfortunately, it detects also gcc as a runtime dependency, which makes gcc being pulled and hence consume disk unnecessarily. Running strings on our build of mpris.so yields:

$ strings mpris.so | grep gcc
/nix/store/52x4908vr922dhnxz1i5rfnrsq244vzc-gcc-9.3.0/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/9.3.0/crtbeginS.o
/nix/store/52x4908vr922dhnxz1i5rfnrsq244vzc-gcc-9.3.0/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/9.3.0/crtendS.o

The hash in the beginning belongs to where gcc is "installed" (don't mind that).

Is there anything we could pass the Makefile perhaps to avoid that? If you are absolutely clueless regarding this feel free to close this. I'm just trying to investigate...

Doesn't build on Debian

I installed glib dev library which includes gio.h:

sudo apt install libglib2.0-de

It still fails though:

pris.c:1:10: fatal error: gio/gio.h: No such file or directory
    1 | #include <gio/gio.h>

Files went to:

/usr/include/glib-2.0/gio/gio.h
/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/giochannel.h

Spaming title, url and track id

I face the problem that whenever 'mpris:length' receives an update via MPRIS the title, the url and the track id get send two, even if they have not changed. This causes unneeded extra traffic on the MPRIS bus and may cause applications two act upon title updates even though there is no real update, which in turn causes unnecessary load.

EDIT: If you wonder why the length variable changes during playback: I tried watching livestreams via youtube-dl + mpv...

Works great, but causes a "critical" error to be output

This seems to be more of a mild annoyance than anything, but when mpv starts up I now get this error message:

GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 21:03:15.407: g_dbus_connection_emit_signal: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

It still works fine, and I'm kinda used to random glib spam now and then, but if possible it would still be nice to get rid of, if only to de-clutter the mpv cli.

please make a release

Since mpv now has --enable-cplugins by default, I decided to give this a try and it works perfectly with all MPRIS consumers around here that I tested. Thanks very much for this fine piece of software!

Can you please cut a release (don't care whether it's 0.1 or 1.0 or whatever) so that I can package this up for Arch Linux?

Compile problem on openSUSE

For me, on openSUSE, the compilation worked only when I added glib-2.0 to the CFLAGS pkgconfig list.

Could you please verify if, with this added component, nothing breaks on your system?

-CFLAGS=-std=c99 -Wall -Wextra -O2 `$(PKG_CONFIG) --cflags gio-2.0 gio-unix-2.0 mpv`
+CFLAGS=-std=c99 -Wall -Wextra -O2 `$(PKG_CONFIG) --cflags gio-2.0 gio-unix-2.0 glib-2.0 mpv`

Cover Image in notification

Hello, I'm not entirely sure how to format this request, and I'd PR it myself if I could figure out C 😅
But would it be possible to use the cover metadata as the notification icon?

Just a small thing, but would make it look nice :)

mpv mpris doesn't work correctly in flatpak

I'm currently trying to switch to the mpv flatpak, but mpris is currently not working correctly when using 3 or more instances of mpv.

The reason for this is that the process ids are in their own namespace and therefore start with 1 again.

The 1. mpv proccess takes the dbus identifier "mpv", the second and subsequent instances try to take "mpv.instance2", which causes a conflict from the third instance on.

Could this plugin include a check for further conflicts or otherwise circumvent this problem (appending a random number maybe)?

Thank you! :)

Does not send an event on exit

I have statusbar scripts which constantly poll the following command to show currently playing media.

dbus-monitor "path=/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2,member=PropertiesChanged"

However, I've noticed the mpv doesn't send an event when it exists, which leaves my statusbar stale. Would it be possible to achieve this?

Setting or defining seek distance

I am using this plugin so that I can control MPV through the KDE Connect application. However, default seek distance is 10 seconds and I usually like to lower it to 5 seconds.

After some trial and error over the past few weeks I managed to make the seek button in KDE Connect seek by 5 seconds instead of 10 by modifying this line: (I tried to half the 10 seconds seek time)

--- mpris.c     2022-02-02 02:34:48.414593201 +0100
+++ m.c 2022-02-02 02:37:00.937265047 +0100
@@ -544,7 +544,7 @@
         int64_t offset_us; // in microseconds
         char *offset_str;
         g_variant_get(parameters, "(x)", &offset_us);
-        double offset_s = offset_us / 1000000.0;
+        double offset_s = 0.5 * offset_us / 1000000.0;
         offset_str = g_strdup_printf("%f", offset_s);
 
         const char *cmd[] = {"seek", offset_str, NULL};

This works great, but today I noticed that seeking with the slider inside of KDE Connect wrongly sets the new position. In fact, if I add a 0.5 multiplier like above, seeking with the slider by an amount x away from the current position, will only make it seek by 0.5 * x. In other words, if I am currently at 10'00" in the video, and slide to 0'00", then the new position will be 5'00". Similarly going from 2'00" to 3'00" will put me at 2'30".

I therefore reckon that this offset_s is also used for seeking via the slider, which explains why seeking distance is off by the factor that I specified (here 0.5, but adding a factor of 2 makes it go too far). I tried adding a factor of 0.5 or 2 to other mentions of 1000000 in the code in an attempt to counter the factor of 0.5 that I added for the offset but it ended up doing more harm than good.

I am slowly getting the impression that seek distance should actually be specified in KDE Connect instead of mpv-mpris (especially thanks to issue 36) but I am creating this issue in case it can actually be done properly through mpv-mpris. Also, I wouldn't know where to go to make this modification to KDE Connect I was imagining a sort of input.conf like you have for MPV, where you can specify the distance but this further makes me believe the modification should rather happen inside of KDE Connect.

Apologies for this simple inquiry end up in such a long post. I wanted to properly highlight the issue with the slider in KDE Connect. Sliding inside of MPV properly sets the slider in KDE Connect. It does not work the other way around though after adding a factor to the offset of mpv-mpris (like mentioned above).

Installation instructions to README?

Dear @hoyon,

Thank you! I would love to try your plugin and control mpv from my media keys.

But how do I do it?

Can we add installation instructions to your README?

I am on Linux Mint 18.3.

Thank you!

mpris.so installed but kde-connect cannot find it

I think I followed the installation correctly - download the mpris.so file and copy it to the .config/mpv/scripts directory. Kde-connect has a multimedia control screen within which is a drop down menu where you can select the the player, for me only vlc appears. If I start mpv with the scripts option from the CLI then mpv appears on the drop down list. How to make kde-connect see mpv without having to start mpv from the CLI first?

[FR] Thumbnail support

Some mpris clients make use of album art, most notably KDE Connect. When I listen to music on MPD with the MPDris plugin, KDE Connect gets the album art from the mpris protocol and displays it on my phone. Example data with playerctl:

$ playerctl metadata | grep artUrl
playerctld mpris:artUrl              file:///home/frodo/Music/Eminem/Relapse/cover.jpg

It would be very nice to do the same thing when I watch a youtube video with mpv and mpv-mpris. Local files obviously wouldn't have a thumbnail.

At least on the command line, you can get the thumbnail URL like this:

$ youtube-dl --list-thumbnails "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaMjPs66cTs"
[info] Thumbnails for HaMjPs66cTs:
ID  width    height  URL
0   unknown  unknown https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HaMjPs66cTs/maxresdefault.jpg

So in the end it would just involve getting the thumbnail URL and publishing it as artUrl. What do you think, is this something that is worth it to implement in this plugin?

Add support for mpris:artUrl

Would be nice to have album art displayed by software that supports it. I guess for embedded art, a temp file would have to be created for this to work.

no expose length information when play videos

when play videos, and try to see the length of the video file:

└───╼  qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.mpv /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Metadata 
mpris:trackid: 
xesam:title: Arietty's Song.mp4

but when play audio, the length is exposed:

└───╼  qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.mpv /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Metadata 
mpris:length: 348000000
mpris:trackid: 
xesam:album: A Type   (WEB)
xesam:artist: Arkitech
xesam:genre: Hardcore

please add support for expose length when play video files

Cover image in opus file is not shown in KDE media control in system tray

When playing an opus file which contains a cover image with mpv, it's not propagating through mpris.

I think it's a problem with mpv-mpris, since mpv shows the image in the window itself and reports using a cover art when run from the terminal. And when playing it with vlc, it shows up there fine.

If you think it's an issue with mpv itself, I can open a bug there too.

Plugin doesn't work inside terminal.

The plugin works when using it in MPV, but stops working when I'm inside terminal (Windows terminal).
I get an error:

Can't load unknown script: HereIsThePath/mpris.so

BTW I'm using Windows with PowerShell which I suppose is causing this problem. Am I right?
MPV version: 0.34.0

sound volume support

It would be nice to implement it. For example, https://github.com/dodo/lua-mpris supports it.

Can you add fullscreen status signals (true/false)?

Manjaro 21.3 (Arch linux) - Gnome 42.2 with Wayland
mpv 0.34.1-dirty mpv --version
mpv-mpris 0.7.1

Please, can you add fullscreen status signals (true/false) ? Like with vlc or celluloid :

dbus-monitor "type='signal',interface='org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties'" with celluloid :

signal time=1655305733.087620 sender=:1.155 -> destination=(null destination) serial=43 
path=/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties; member=PropertiesChanged
   string "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2"
   array [
      dict entry(
         string "Fullscreen"
         variant             boolean true
      )
   ]
   array [
   ]

I get other signals, play, pause,.. but not this one.
I don't know if this is a mistake or if it has not been added.

Thank you for your work.
Yours sincerely.

(I'm attaching source code for a minimal example to illustrate the behavior: mpv_simple.c.txt)

I'm not familiar with GLib, but it seems the mpv people themselves go on taking some extra measures when using it for a plugin. Indeed their example doesn't cause segfaults.

Would it be possible to make mpv-mpris be able to be loaded multiple times for multiple mpv contexts without error? It is a pattern I have encountered while developing an application embedding mpv via libmpv.

Seeking mpv using arrow keys / seek commands does not update seek position in mpris

repro steps:
play media
hit the left arrow button a bunch of times to move the seek position

observe seek position in a mpris compatible tool (KDE's media player, for example)

notice that the seek position and actual seek location are different

Would it make sense to send a PlaybackStatus Stopped on quit?

Not sure if this is against the spec but it would be useful when used with gpodder.

g_dbus_connection_register_object: assertion 'error == NULL || *error == NULL' failed

I'm seeing this every time mpv runs with this plugin:

Nothing seems to be broken yet, but I'm pointing this out because I'm not sure if something will break in upcoming gio releases due to this.

Stops working after waking up from standby

Often, the play controls in KDE Connect Android stop working. I think it happens after Ubuntu waking up from standby, the play controls in the Ubuntu notification area still work after waking up, does that mean that my problem is caused by Ubuntu or GSConnect? I use GSConnect v50 because a newer version isn't supported on Ubuntu 22.04.

Position provided by Seeked signal inaccuracies

Sometimes when seeking close to the beginning, the position returned by the Seeked signal returns a negative number.
This seems to happen much more often if it's seeked back to the beginning due to the file looping.

[error] mpris: C plugin error: '$PATH/.config/mpv/scripts/mpris.so: undefined symbol: mpv_get_property' [error] mpris: Could not load SO plugin

Hi there,

Thanks for this work!

I'm trying to load it from a python script in which I'm using the python-mpv ctypes bindings.
Here's my sample code:

import mpv

def debug_print(loglevel, component, message):
    print(f"[{loglevel}] {component}: {message}")

player = mpv.MPV(config=True, log_handler=debug_print)
url = "https://somafm.com/defcon130.pls"
player.play(url)

Here's the error I'm getting:

[error] mpris: C plugin error: '/home/berger/.config/mpv/scripts/mpris.so: undefined symbol: mpv_get_property'
[error] mpris: Could not load SO plugin /home/berger/.config/mpv/scripts/mpris.so

However, when I'm running mpv, and the extension is loaded automatically since it is in my scripts path, it is loaded successfully and it sends the song metadata as expected via dbus-send.

Here's my version of the mpv binary (this loads mpris.so successfully):

On the other hand, I've built libmpv.so from source using the latest tree and using the mpv-build repo.

Any hints as to what's causing this?
Thanks

Feature Request: show Youtube "artist" with Playerctl

There is no artist info for youtube videos when calling playerctl metadata. I can see artist info when I am using playerctl with Chromium-based browsers on youtube, but not in mpv.

mpv won't respond to PlayPause

Hello. Thank you for this awesome library of awesomeness. Did I mention that this awesome library of awesomeness is awesome?

I have noticed an annoying bug. If you pause mpv, and rewind the current file to the beginning, mpv will ignore the org.mpris.MediaPlayer.Player.PlayPause command/signal/whatever. If I send org.mpris.MediaPlayer.Player.Play, the player responds as expected. Also, if I don't rewind to the beginning, there's no problem.

I can still send the Next and Previous signal-thinggies, and they work as expected. I haven't tested any other dbus/mpris signal-thinngies.

I'm running version git-2018-05-17-05b392b on Ubuntu 18.04. I only compiled mpv-mpris a few days ago, so I'm assuming it's still the newest version.

Also, as you may have already guessed, I don't really know much about dbus, hence my constant use of the term "thinggies".

Can I use without MPV

I have debian 11, installed Radio ++ applet, it asks to install mpv. So is it possible without mpv, because I don't want to play for the sake of radio

Multiple delimiters for splitting artist field

Currently, the artists fields are only split by , . This is unsuitable for files using Vorbis comments with multiple Artist tags, as mpv will concatenate them together using a semicolon as a delimiter, like so: Artist 1;Artist 2;Artist 3.
Some MP3s may also use a slash as a delimiter, like so: Artist 1/Artist 2.
As mpv-mpris only handles a comma with a trailing space as a delimiter, none of these are split and programs using MPRIS could treat this as one huge artist field.
Unfortunately from the looks of things, libmpv doesn't provide a method of returning this as an array, and there's the possibility that some artist fields will have multiple sequences (possible situation: Tyler, The Creator;Artist 2) which will make this even more of a pain.
Perhaps different file types could have a delimiter priority.

Shell script as a "remote"

I've been using this with a script I wrote that works as my remote for controlling playback of all my open mpv windows. please check it out and do with it as you please :-)

Usage: $ mpv_remote COMMAND [all | PID[,PID]]
Example:  mpv_remote play all
          mpv_remote next
          mpv_remote pause 845
          mpv_remote pause 845,846

mpv_remote.sh

Metadata handling in README

I think you should note in the README that metadata handling isn't fully implemented. In particular, there's no way to get the URL of the currently playing file.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, once the TrackList interface is added you will be able to get the URL by calling TrackList.GetTracksMetadata.

This is useful info for people who want to communicate with multiple instances of mpv playing videos.

Loop property doesn't 'update' in 0.33.0

I updated to version 0.33.0 and now changing the loop status work, but fetching it doesn't return the correct value.

Running playerctl -p mpv loop Track && playerctl -p mpv loop the output is None, but it actually loops the track.

Negative seek seems not to work

To reproduce open anything in mpv with this plugin installed and run this command a couple of times

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.mpv /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Seek int64:-5

You'll see what I mean, it just seems to be stuck at one point and never go back past that.
Positive seek works as expected.
