Failed to connect to mpv

AtomicNess123 commented 3 years ago

When I do (mpv-start "--no-video" "--idle=yes" "--keep-open=yes")

I get this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Failed to connect to mpv")
  signal(error ("Failed to connect to mpv"))

I got this in IELM. I guess I need to set up some default option...

kljohann commented 3 years ago

You have to provide mpv-start with some argument, else mpv will quit because it has nothing to do. For example

(mpv-start "--idle=once")
(mpv-run-command "loadfile" "something")

That said, unfortunately I cannot reproduce the original issue right now (which seemed to include --idle).

ZGFabian commented 3 years ago

Thank you.

(require 'mpv)
(mpv-start "--idle")
(mpv-play "/PATH/TO/MEDIAFILE.EXT")

This error message still on windows, how to fix?

kljohann commented 2 years ago

There also is a separate issue for Windows support (#12). Unfortunately I cannot help there, as I don't use Windows.

nowislewis commented 2 years ago

I met the same problem in macOS when using "brew install mpv". And problems are fixed when I remove mpv and use "brew install --cask mpv". So this problem may due to a wrong installation of the application "mpv".

AtomicNess123 commented 2 years ago

Still getting the same problem.

This worked- thanks @nowislewis !
