Videoscreen
===========
Listens on a TCP port for incoming media urls.
The url is opened with mpv and played.
Another url terminates the previous link.
Optionally, `mpd` can be paused during playback when using `-m`.
Dependencies
------------
* Python3
* [`mpv` player](https://mpv.io/)
* [`mpc` client](http://www.musicpd.org/clients/mpc/) (optional)
Invocation
----------
Try invoking with `python3 -m videoscreen --help` to see usage and configuration information.
```
python3 -m videoscreen -- --fs --quiet
```
All options after the `--` are passed to mpv.
systemd user service
--------------------
* Copy or symlink the `etc/videoscreen.service` to `~/.config/systemd/user/`
* Activate and launch it `systemctl --user enable --now videoscreen.service`
Usage
-----
The following commands can be issued to the host:
Command | What
--------|-----
`help` | show usage help
`$video_url` | play video url
`vol [+-=]$number` | change the system volume
`exit` | terminate connection
### Examples
Invoke the commands by sending to port `60601` of the host:
``` shell
# play a video
echo "$video_url" | nc $host $port
# change volume
echo "vol +13" | nc $host $port
echo "vol 33" | nc $host $port
echo "vol -37" | nc $host $port
```
