# mpvmenup

![screenshot](screenshot.jpg?raw=true)

Mpvmenu adds a pop-up menu to mpv, which can be bound to a key or button

(e.g. to mouse right-click). From this menu you can do things like loading

external subtitle files, dynamically adding/removing filters and so on.

## Installation

Copy the script *mpvmenu* anywhere convenient, if you want. Make

it executable (or you can run it via python 3).

You'll probably want to bind it to a key/button. To do that, bind action

*script_message popup_menu* (*popup_menu* can be replaced with another string,

with the right commandline argument). For example, to bind to right mouse

button, add the following to your *input.conf*:

``` MOUSE_BTN2 script_message popup_menu ```

## Running

To run this program, just execute the **mpvmenu** command.

Now when the script runs, and you trigger the action, a pop-up menu should

appear. If you want to stop it, you can kill it with *SIGKILL* or *SIGINT*

(e.g. press *Ctrl+C* in the console it's launched in).

After running, the script should continue to wait for connection with MPV and

react for events. If you want it always to run, set it to autostart (details

depend on DE).

## Requirements

* GNU/Linux (possibly other *NIX OSes), as JSON RPC is only supported on that.

* Python 3.

* Python 3 bindings for Gobject.

* Gtk 3.

* MPV (latest version from master to get all functionality to work).

* Subtitle download option requires subdownloader.

On Archlinux, the relevant packages are: **python-gobject**, **gtk3**,

**subdownloader** and **mpv** (or **mpv-git** from *AUR*).
