# mrc
|
|
|
|
[mpv video player]: https://mpv.io/
|
|
|
|
Fast, robust and experimental JSON IPC wrapper for the [mpv video player]; comes
|
|
with a wrapper library, a CLI and a server for remote control.
|
|
|
|
## Hacking
|
|
|
|
mrc does not handle TLS certificates for you. To run the remote control server,
|
|
you must create your own PKCS#12 certificates using OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365
|
|
openssl pkcs12 -export -out identity.pfx -inkey key.pem -in cert.pem
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
mrc then read the `TLS_PFX_PATH` and `TLS_PASSWORD` environment variables to
|
|
load them. You should also set `AUTH_TOKEN` for making authenticated requests to
|
|
the server remotely. Running without an auth token is "supported", but the
|
|
server will not fully function.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export TLS_PFX_PATH=/path/to/identity.pfx
|
|
export TLS_PASSWORD="your_identity_passphrase"
|
|
export AUTH_TOKEN="your_auth_token"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then start the server with `cargo run --bin=server`.
|
|
|
|
How you handle environment is up to you, Systemd makes it somewhat easy if
|
|
running mrc as a service.
