That'd be how you'd probably interact with such thing, but what'd you run on e.g. windows instead of mkfifo + cat (neither of which is I think available on these) to get same effect? I.e. something like `shell-quote-argument' that does fifos in cross-platform way instead of quoting. Though now that I think about it, not sure if mpv even supports --input-file on windows (as it has no fifos), so maybe there's no point looking for universal solution to this particular concept. Besides, --input-ipc-server should work over tcp sockets there with newer mpv binaries, and --input-file isn't really the only option. So probably not worth looking deeper into this anyway, sorry for rambling :) -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net _______________________________________________ Emms-help mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emms-help
