standardize messaging protocol #1

Open mcastorina opened 5 years ago

mcastorina commented 5 years ago

currently I am simply passing whitelisted commands straight to the IPC server, but it would be a good idea to use a standard messaging protocol

either document the messaging protocol or adhere to a current standard

This plugin (available in AUR) adds mpris capability to mpv

With the server refactored, the messages are now abstracted from the player.

The messaging protocol is being documented in DESIGN.md.

At this point, it is still not using a standardized protocol, and I'm not sure if I will ever migrate to one.
