npm

npm i @mpv-easy/play-with

import { sendToMpv, encodeToBase64 } from '@mpv-easy/play-with';
import type { PlayItem, PlayWith } from '@mpv-easy/play-with';

const list: PlayItem[] = [
  url: 'http://hello.mp4',
  title: 'mpv-easy'
];
const playWith: PlayWith= { playlist:{ list }, start: 0 } ;

const base64 = encodeToBase64(playWith);
sendToMpv(base64);

chunk

When the data length exceeds 2048, you can use chunks to pass the data. You only need to concatenate the current chunk id and the total number of chunks after base64. To prevent errors in the order of chunk merging, it is recommended to wait 100ms after each chunk is sent to allow the program enough time to write the file.

base64?chunkId&chunkCount
