play-with-mpv opens the video twice (in separate mpv windows). #44

Note: I am on windows. Using python 3.9.

The first time I open a video using the extension, it opens the video only once. But after I close that window and open any other video via the extension, it opens the video twice. I have double and triple checked that there is only one instance of play-with-mpv.exe running. If i force quit the process, it always works correctly for the first video, but opens two instances of mpv for every video after that.

The issue you've described is about mpv directly. Two solutions can be here:

  1. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/4954#issuecomment-515701451
  2. Use SMplayer instead but a bit preconfigured in advance: Option -> Preference -> Interface -> Instances -> "Use only one running instance of SMplayer"

The code for changing mpv player to SMplayer can be found here: https://github.com/Thann/play-with-mpv/blob/07a9c1dd57d9e16538991b13fd3e2ed54d6e3a2d/play_with_mpv.py#L50

Works for me perfectly.
