embedding node-mpv #83

Not exactly an issue, more can it be done. Is it possible to embed the player window within the application eg rendering to an html canvas etc. I am using nwjs. Thanks

I don't think so. What this node module does, is simply starting the mpv binary on your machine and offering control through an *inter-process-communication socket. This means the mpv player is running on the local machine.

If you find some way to stream this over the web into a browser, that maybe yes. If you do, let me know, I'd love to integrate this into node-mpv directly.

Thanks I didn't think so, I think it is more likely to succeed using the libmpv library rather than the exec , there do seem to be a few attempts using it with react and electron, but I haven't yet managed to translate this for nwjs

If you want to display it in a HTML window you can't via mpv and thus node-mpv.

You can bundle your app with a mpv binary though, but it'll open another window you won't have total control over

I'll close this issue for now, since the answer seems to be no. Feel free to re-open it at any time you deem appropriate.
