  • mpv-android

    #mpv-android @ libera.chat

  • Did some more work on it, and found this https://github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android/pull/58

  • listenbrainz-mpv

    Scrobbles Music files properly using MPV

  • Today I found out that mpv on Android supports C Plugins. For the uninitiated, C Plugins are similar to lua scripts but they're written in C and can do things that lua can't, like make network requests. For me, I wanted to use my own mpv C Plugin from my phone.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • libmpv-rs

    A libmpv abstraction written in rust that's easy to use and provides the ability to read next to all video and audio codecs. (by StratusFearMe21)

  • Rust is a little more complex to get working, first I recommend using the libmpv crate from my github. Then you'll want to add Android support to Rust, with these commands

  • NewPipe

    A libre lightweight streaming front-end for Android.

  • Yeah, you'd definitely need root to get this to work. In the meantime tho, I use NewPipe with mpv for YouTube

  • findroid

    Third-party native Jellyfin Android app

  • Not exactly what you are looking for but the unofficial Jellyfin client Findroid includes mpv and ExoPlayer as options. It doesn't have local file playback but stream or download to phone and play from your Jellyfin server.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
