Crate mrc

MRC A library for interacting with the MPV media player using its JSON IPC (Inter-Process Communication) protocol.

This crate provides a set of utilities to communicate with MPV’s IPC socket, enabling you to send commands and retrieve responses in a structured format.

Features

• Send commands to MPV’s IPC socket
• Retrieve responses in JSON format
• Supports common MPV commands like set_property, seek, and playlist-next
• Flexible socket path configuration

Example Usage

use serde_json::json;
use tokio;
use mrc::{send_ipc_command, playlist_next, set_property};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let result = playlist_next(None).await;
    match result {
        Ok(response) => println!("Playlist moved to next: {:?}", response),
        Err(err) => eprintln!("Error: {:?}", err),
    }

    let property_result = set_property("volume", &json!(50), None).await;
    match property_result {
        Ok(response) => println!("Volume set: {:?}", response),
        Err(err) => eprintln!("Error: {:?}", err),
    }
}
