Bind pipe-viewer to the initial desktop? #154

TheChymera · 2022-12-12T07:17:56Z

So if I start playing a series of videos, once a video finishes and a new one starts, I get am mpv window popping up in whatever desctop is focused. Can I make it just use whatever desktop it was started on, i.e. start subsequent mpv windows in place of the original one?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

To get mpv to start in a workspace check the geometry option. And to use the same window and not create another check the umpv script.

@sun95n thanks for the suggestion, I tried setting the following in my pipe-viewer config file:

...
  video_player_selected         => "umpv",
  video_players                 => {
                                     umpv => {
                                              arg => "--really-quiet --force-media-title=*TITLE* --no-ytdl *VIDEO*",
                                              audio => "--audio-file=*AUDIO*",
                                              cmd => "/usr/bin/umpv",
                                              fs => "--fullscreen",
                                              novideo => "--no-video",
                                              srt => "--sub-file=*SUB*",
                                            },
...

But now the mpv window does not play any sound. This is weird since both umpv and mpv play fine when pointed to a downloaded video on my local storage.

I also checked and the player is unmuted and the volume is set to a decent level, so it didn't just inherit parameters from some past instance (not that I think it should).

sun95n · 2022-12-13T01:54:41Z

Yes that's because umpv is a python script (not a player). So you don't need to modify video_player_selected and video_players section just cmd.

TheChymera · 2022-12-14T04:50:14Z

@sun95n still no sound:

  video_player_selected         => "mpv",
  video_players                 => {
                                     mpv => {
                                              arg => "--really-quiet --force-media-title=*TITLE* --no-ytdl *VIDEO*",
                                              audio => "--audio-file=*AUDIO*",
                                              cmd => "umpv",
                                              fs => "--fullscreen",
                                              novideo => "--no-video",
                                              srt => "--sub-file=*SUB*",
                                            },

The umpv description within the script seems to indicate that it does not take command line arguments, maybe that's confusing it somehow? also tried to delete all the arguments from the video_players section, and no improvement. How did you get it to work?

sun95n · 2022-12-14T18:48:47Z

Hi. Maybe you are forgetting something. These are my settings:

video_player_selected       => "mpv",
video_players               => {
                                   mpv => {
                                            arg   => "--really-quiet --force-media-title=*TITLE* --no-terminal *URL*",
                                            audio => "--audio-file=*AUDIO*",
                                            cmd   => "/usr/local/bin/umpv",
                                            fs    => "--fullscreen",
                                            srt   => "--sub-file=*SUB*",
                                          },

sun95n · 2022-12-27T19:19:42Z

UPDATE: You need to pass the URL to mpv if you don't want to have problems with the *TITLE* string (I opened a new thread to deal with this problem). Please check my options again I modified arg to achieve what you want.

@sun95n with your settings it just won't play past the first video. (=mpv-0.35.0 and =pipe-viewer-0.4.4)

Your output points to umpv failing to recognize the arg and audio keys. Try the following:

video_player_selected       => "mpv",
video_players               => {
                                   mpv => {
                                            arg   => "*URL*",
                                            audio => "",
                                            cmd   => "/usr/bin/umpv",
                                            fs    => "--fullscreen",
                                            srt   => "--sub-file=*SUB*",
                                          },

If it fails again check that it is not a problem with umpv script or mpv otherwise this will not work in your case although for me the previous configuration and this one did.

It plays, but the window does not remain in place, and after the video is over re-spawns in the focused desktop and not in place of the original window, here's the output from pipe-viewer --debug:

I assume you mean mpv (video window) right?

Then review the options that deal with this behavior:
screen
geometry
autofit

Although if you mean the window generated by the GTK version of pipe-viewer then you should consider it a bug and report it. I can't deal with it because I don't work as a developer of this project. Sorry.
