Stopped working after update to 1.0.4

[plissken1138]

everything worked until I tried to update to 1.0.4

updated node to latest, mkv updated to latest, followed instructions, all seemed fine, but mkv does not connect (does not show "Remote Access..." when starting anymore).

troubleshooting only goes this far:

  Error: Cannot find module 'express'

It seems Express Node.JS module missing for you. Something went wrong with dependency managment (probably) Try to reinstall the package after opening a Powershell as administrator (on Windows) :

npm uninstall -g mpv-remote 
npm install -g mpv-remote
mpv-remote 

After running mpv-remote command follow instructions, 1.0.4 intruduced an automated installer which makes the whole process easier. Note: Don't worry, the watchlist database not gonna be deleted (if you've used it)

It's working now, yey!

At first I had run installation with cmd and when prompted to choose installer it pointed me to PowerShell but PS did not work because it apparently wasn't allowed to run script on the system... When I enabled it and all commands from PS it installed all fine. Cherry on top - the sliding thru timeline now works from the android app (it didn't before)!

Once again, thanks for this fine tool. Hope you'll find ways and time to improve it further. I'm only gonna hint at custom configurable buttons maybe :D to be able to tie to custom keybinds in input.conf if that sort of thing is possible... For example, I have a keybind to change three predetermined subtitle colors.

I didn't know about powershell behaviour, it's been a while since I've installed MPV-remote to my own Media player HTPC (also running on Windows 10). About seeking: it's interesting, it should've worked since the first release. When seeking online streamed videos with MPV can cause "problems" because of buffering, but with local file should work fine.

Still working on the project, I'd like to release the app on Google play, but still long way to go.

I don't know about handling of key bindings, but "file-local-options" property of MPV is changable. For example youtube-dl/youtube-dlp settings changable via by that option by file basis. My guess it's implementable, subtitle settings should be on "file-local-options". I've to investigate.

Thanks for your feedback! If you have any more suggestions/issues let me know!

Here's another thing of the top of my head... mpv can override volume and go up to 130% by default, I have volume override set to 150% in mpv.conf --volume-max=150 but can't raise the volume over 100 thru the app. So, maybe the app should be able to read volume override somehow.

Cheers!
