This -module is somewhat lenient as far as ``libmpv`` versions are concerned but since ``libmpv`` is changing quite frequently -you'll only get all the newest features when using an up-to-date version of this module. The unit tests for this module -do some basic automatic version compatibility checks. If you discover anything missing here, please open an `issue`_ or -submit a `pull request`_ on github. - -On Windows you can place libmpv anywhere in your ``%PATH%`` (e.g. next to ``python.exe``) or next to this module's -``mpv.py``. Before falling back to looking in the mpv module's directory, python-mpv uses the DLL search order built -into ctypes, which is different to the one Windows uses internally.

Most "`input commands <https://mpv.io/manual/master/#list-of-input-commands>`_" are mapped to methods of the MPV class. Check out these methods and their docstrings in `the source <https://github.com/jaseg/python-mpv/blob/main/mpv.py>`__ for things you can do. Additional controls and status information are exposed through `MPV properties <https://mpv.io/manual/master/#properties>`_. These can be accessed like ``player.metadata``, ``player.fullscreen`` and ``player.loop_playlist``. - -Threading -~~~~~~~~~ - -The ``mpv`` module starts one thread for event handling, since MPV sends events that must be processed quickly. The -event queue has a fixed maxmimum size and some operations can cause a large number of events to be sent. - -If you want to handle threading yourself, you can pass ``start_event_thread=False`` to the ``MPV`` constructor and -manually call the ``MPV`` object's ``_loop`` function. If you have some strong need to not use threads and use some -external event loop (such as asyncio) instead you can do that, too with some work. The API of the backend C ``libmpv`` -has a function for producing a sort of event file descriptor for a handle. You can use that to produce a file descriptor -that can be passed to an event loop to tell it to wake up the python-mpv event handler on every incoming event. - -All API functions are thread-safe. If one is not, please file an issue on github. - -Advanced Usage -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Logging, Properties, Python Key Bindings, Screenshots and youtube-dl -.................................................................... - -.. code:: python - - #!/usr/bin/env python3 - import mpv - - def my_log(loglevel, component, message): - print('[{}] {}: {}'.format(loglevel, component, message)) - - player = mpv.MPV(log_handler=my_log, ytdl=True, input_default_bindings=True, input_vo_keyboard=True) - - # Property access, these can be changed at runtime - @player.property_observer('time-pos') - def time_observer(_name, value): - # Here, _value is either None if nothing is playing or a float containing - # fractional seconds since the beginning of the file. - print('Now playing at {:.2f}s'.format(value)) - - player.fullscreen = True - player.loop_playlist = 'inf' - # Option access, in general these require the core to reinitialize - player['vo'] = 'gpu' - - @player.on_key_press('q') - def my_q_binding(): - print('THERE IS NO ESCAPE') - - @player.on_key_press('s') - def my_s_binding(): - pillow_img = player.screenshot_raw() - pillow_img.save('screenshot.png') - - player.play('https://youtu.be/DLzxrzFCyOs') - player.wait_for_playback() - - del player - -Skipping silence using libav filters -.................................... - -The following code uses the libav silencedetect filter to skip silence at the beginning of a file.
