More buttons :)

[haarp]

Hello,

I just made this work and it's working surprisingly well so far. Thanks for making this!

There are a couple of buttons I would like to request, which are useful:

• Info (which briefly shows OSD with progress, timers, etc.)
• Next/Previous chapter
• Next/Previous playlist item
• A-V delay +/- (next to audio track button?)
• Sub delay +/- (next to sub track button?)
• video-zoom maybe?

Thanks a lot!

PS: Maybe it's even a good idea to directly proxy mpv's ipc json format (with auth, and blacklist (for e.g. run command) added on top of course), instead of translating all commands on software? This way the Android software just needs to send the correct JSON, with no modifications to the server needed to add new commands.

Hey, glad you like it :)

Thanks for the suggestions, I always appreciate feedback! Can you elaborate more on video-zoom? Is that a feature of mpv?

This way the Android software just needs to send the correct JSON, with no modifications to the server needed to add new commands.

I originally avoided this for the security concerns associated with executing commands received from the network. Of course the server should only run on a local network where every device is trusted, presumably.

Python development is also faster than Android development (at least for me), so it was simpler to have the app send a single command that I can interpret however I want in the server.

I'll have to think more about it, but a proxy with a whitelist might be good. Feel free to contribute too :)

Yup. I have this in my input.conf:

Ctrl+=		add video-zoom 0.1
Ctrl+-		add video-zoom -0.1

Very useful when your content has hardcoded black bars for example.
