Doing IPC with mpv with JSON, sockets and partially undocumented values is a bit of a pain. Not sure that you should care though.

That's definitely worth keeping an eye on, but actually its not that bad. Take this with a grain of salt, as I only have a user view, not mpv developer. I consider the JSON IPC API quite stable, well documented through mpv(1) and https://mpv.io/manual/stable/. Almost every command-line option documented in mpv(1) is mapped 1:1 to the JSON IPC, so mpv(1) documents both the command-line, and, the JSON IPC.

This looks very neat. Thanks for sharing! mpv has been my favorite media player for years, and one of my favorite pieces of software, period. It's simple, gets out of my way, works beautifully across platforms, has some of the best documentation I've ever seen[1], and is very extensible. I wasn't even aware of mpvc, and your fork has some nice additions. Currently I'm using plain M3U playlists for both video and audi…

Just came here to chime that I've been playing with mpv + fzf + notify-send, and as a result mpvc-tui has got now some cool fuzzy search + desktop notifications. I've included a bunch of screenshots showing the updates at: https://gmt4.github.io/mpvc/
