Updated, upstream(iwalton3) is on hiatus, so i temporarily forked and created a 1.11.1 release, Which upstream was preparing todo ( See Commit:aaccfca ) in Mar.2023, but apparently went on hiatus shortly after.

Ill do my best to maintain this, but im accepting Contributors/co-maintainers for here (and the github fork till iwalton3 returns).

Thank you all.

The package is broken after last system update. Trying to actually play anything results in the following error:

polyzen, python-mpv 1.0.6 indeed fixes the issue. thank you for the heads up

polyzen commented on 2024-05-01 17:58 (UTC)

mfcmquintela, should be fixed with python-mpv 1.0.6 in testing.

Package recently broke for me (see https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim/issues/112). Issue appears to be related to a system update, possibly mpv.

If you want to fix the missing tray icon, Set GDK_BACKEND=x11 before launching the script.

Might be worth creating a desktop file for DE integration and making some kind of wrapper script to make sure that's set.

polyzen, it seems the issue is serversided(1) It is easily circumvented with a userscript called MPV Shim Local Connection(2)

1: https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim/issues/87 2: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/398049-mpv-shim-local-connection

polyzen commented on 2023-02-04 17:01 (UTC)

vodka, I haven't seen that issue, but normally if I try to connect just after launching plex-mpv-shim, it won't be able to connect the first time but will connect after.

vodka commented on 2023-01-27 16:21 (UTC)

Is this broken for anyone else? I get no errors at all and everything seems fine, but as soon as I try and select the mpv-shim as a player in Plex, it instantly goes "do you want to continue playback here?", there is 0 information as to what went wrong from Plex nor plex-mpv-shim. I tried on a fresh install of arch, and with all dependencies included with the same issue.
