Could not get it working in Linux: dial unix /tmp/mpvsocket: connect: connection refused #19

Hi there

I could not get it working in my Linux machine. I did everything according to instructions, but it doesn't seem to work. The log is like:

[discord] mpv-discord v1.6.0 by tnychn
[discord] (mpv-ipc): /tmp/mpvsocket
[discord] launched subprocess
[discord] dial unix /tmp/mpvsocket: connect: connection refused
.....
[discord] aborted subprocess

The problem probably occurs when connection is refused. I couldn't find when you log this, but I thikn this is from mpv-discord module(the backend). My configurations and stuff is all fine. Please tell me if you need any other information.

The socket file wasn't created properly, that's why the connection is refused.

Try setting another socket path where you have read/write permissions in config (e.g. socket_path=/path/to/mpvsocket). If it still doesn't work, try setting use_static_socket_path=no in config.

I have read/write permissions in /tmp. Altough, I changed it to ~/.local/share/mpv/socket, It still says connection refused.

Changing use_static_socket_path to no, resulted(i just changed socket_path too)

dial unix /home/murad/.cache/mpv/socket/mpv-discord-2998: connect: no such file or directory

If I don't change the socket_path and point it to existing static socket it will say connect: not a directory
