i tried to install this extension and it kinda works.

it launches the mpv process via mpv-start but i get this after launching it

Taskmgr_cKWbPUk6I5

after that is unable to detect the mpv process and manipulate it

yt search works. as you detailed in your config to set the invidious instance url. emacs_c4XTRSrY5q

you can troubleshoot it via firing up a quickemu virt machine. and using scoop package manager to install all applications quickly

This is probably because empv uses unix sockets to interact with mpv. I'll check if there is an easy way to make it work on Windows.

isamert commented 1 year ago

Unfortunately mpv does not support sockets on Windows and I don't have a Windows machine. I am going to close this issue but I am more than happy to support Windows, so PRs are welcome.
