This works for me.

from mpv.js.

@Kagami Works for me too 👍 :

$('embed')[0].postMessage({"type": "set_property", "data": {"name": "loop-file", "value": true }});

Why does this work when set true? MPV docs indicate it's an option --loop-file=<N|inf|no>.

from mpv.js.

set_property uses mpv_set_property so it needs correct value type (which is autodetected in HandleMessage in index.cc). We can introduce set_property_string message which will use mpv_set_property_string instead if needed.

from mpv.js.

@Kagami I think the mpv_set_property_string would be very useful and unsure how to go about it.

I'm currently trying to figure out how to issue the following command via mpv.js to create temporary thumbnail images:

mpv --really-quiet --vo=image --vo-image-format=jpg --aid=no --sid=no --start=1% --frames=1 video.avi

I'm assuming it is not possible without a mpv_set_property_string?

EDIT:

Currently trying to post the following set of messages causes Electron to crash:

var embed = $('embed')[0];
embed.postMessage({"type": "set_property", "data": {"name": "really-quiet", "value": null }});
embed.postMessage({"type": "set_property", "data": {"name": "frames", "value": 1 }});
embed.postMessage({"type": "set_property", "data": {"name": "vo", "value": "image" }});
embed.postMessage({"type": "set_property", "data": {"name": "vo-image-format", "value": "jpg" }});
embed.postMessage({"type": "set_property", "data": {"name": "aid", "value": "no" }});
embed.postMessage({"type": "set_property", "data": {"name": "sid", "value": "no" }});
embed.postMessage({"type": "set_property", "data": {"name": "start", "value": "1%" }});
embed.postMessage({"type": "command", "data": ["loadfile", "video.avi", "replace"]});

from mpv.js.

You shouldn't use mpv.js for creating thumbnails, it's a video player library.
