690
691This method registers a callback to be invoked for a specific
692event. Whenever the event occurs, it calls the coderef with the C<$mpv>
693object, the C<$event> name and the event object, just like the C<on_event>
694method.
695
696For a lst of events, see L<the mpv
697documentation|https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#list-of-events>. Any
698underscore in the event name is replaced by a minus sign, so you can
699specify event names using underscores for easier quoting in Perl.
700
701In void context, the handler stays registered until C<stop> is called. In
702any other context, it returns a guard object that, when destroyed, will
703unregister the handler.
704
705You can register multiple handlers for the same event, and this method
706does not interfere with the C<on_event> mechanism. That is, you can
707completely ignore this method and handle events in a C<on_event> handler,
708or mix both approaches as you see fit.
709
710Note that unlike commands, event handlers are registered immediately, that
711is, you can issue a command, then register an event handler and then get
712an event for this handler I<before> the command is even sent to F<mpv>. If
713this kind of race is an issue, you can issue a dummy command such as
714C<get_version> and register the handler when the reply is received.

837=head1 EXAMPLES
838
839Here are some real-world code snippets, thrown in here mainly to give you
840some example code to copy.
841
842=head2 doomfrontend
843
844At one point I replaced mythtv-frontend by my own terminal-based video
845player (based on rxvt-unicode). I toyed with the diea of using F<mpv>'s
846subtitle engine to create the user interface, but that is hard to use
847since you don't know how big your letters are. It is also where most of
848this modules code has originally been developed in.
849
850It uses a unified input queue to handle various remote controls, so its
851event handling needs are very simple - it simply feeds all events into the
852input queue:
853
854 my $mpv = AnyEvent::MPV->new (
855 mpv => $MPV,
856 args => \@MPV_ARGS,
857 on_event => sub {
858 input_feed "mpv/$_[1]", $_[2];
859 },
860 on_key => sub {
861 input_feed $_[1];
862 },
863 on_eof => sub {
864 input_feed "mpv/quit";
865 },
866 );
867
868 ...
869
870 $mpv->start ("--idle=yes", "--pause", "--force-window=no");
871
872It also doesn't use complicated command line arguments - the file search
873options have the most impact, as they prevent F<mpv> from scanning
874directories with tens of thousands of files for subtitles and more:
875
876 --audio-client-name=doomfrontend
877 --osd-on-seek=msg-bar --osd-bar-align-y=-0.85 --osd-bar-w=95
878 --sub-auto=exact --audio-file-auto=exact
879
880Since it runs on a TV without a desktop environemnt, it tries to keep complications such as dbus
881away and the screensaver happy:
882
883 # prevent xscreensaver from doing something stupid, such as starting dbus
884 $ENV{DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS} = "/"; # prevent dbus autostart for sure
885 $ENV{XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP} = "generic";
886
887It does bind a number of keys to internal (to doomfrontend) commands:
888
889 for (
890 List::Util::pairs qw(
891 ESC return
892 q return
893 ENTER enter
894 SPACE pause
895 [ steprev
896 ] stepfwd

913
914It also reacts to sponsorblock chapters, so it needs to know when vidoe
915chapters change. Preadting C<AnyEvent::MPV>, it handles observers
916manually:
917
918 $mpv->cmd (observe_property => 1, "chapter-metadata");
919
920It also tries to apply an F<mpv> profile, if it exists:
921
922 eval {
923 # the profile is optional
924 $mpv->cmd ("apply-profile" => "doomfrontend");
925 };
926
927Most of the complicated parts deal with saving and restoring per-video
928data, such as bookmarks, playing position, selected audio and subtitle
929tracks and so on. However, since it uses L<Coro>, it can conveniently
930block and wait for replies, which is n ot possible in purely event based
931programs, as you are not allowed to block inside event callbacks in most
932event loops. This simplifies the code quite a bit.
933
934When the file to be played is a Tv recording done by mythtv, it uses the
935C<appending> protocol and deinterlacing:
936
937 if (is_myth $mpv_path) {
938 $mpv_path = "appending://$mpv_path";
939 $initial_deinterlace = 1;
940 }
941
942Otherwise, it sets some defaults and loads the file (I forgot what the
943C<dummy> argument is for, but I am sure it is needed by some F<mpv>
944version):
945
946 $mpv->cmd ("script-message", "osc-visibility", "never", "dummy");
947 $mpv->cmd ("set", "vid", "auto");
948 $mpv->cmd ("set", "aid", "auto");
949 $mpv->cmd ("set", "sid", "no");
950 $mpv->cmd ("set", "file-local-options/chapters-file", $mpv->escape_binary ("$mpv_path.chapters"));
951 $mpv->cmd ("loadfile", $mpv->escape_binary ($mpv_path));
952 $mpv->cmd ("script-message", "osc-visibility", "auto", "dummy");
953
954Handling events makes the main bulk of video playback code. For example,
955various ways of ending playback:
956
957 if ($INPUT eq "mpv/quit") { # should not happen, but allows user to kill etc. without consequence
958 $status = 1;
959 mpv_init; # try reinit
960 last;
961
962 } elsif ($INPUT eq "mpv/idle") { # normal end-of-file
963 last;
964
965 } elsif ($INPUT eq "return") {
966 $status = 1;
967 last;
968
969Or the code that actually starts playback, once the file is loaded:
970
971 our %SAVE_PROPERTY = (aid => 1, sid => 1, "audio-delay" => 1);
972
973 ...
974
975 my $oid = 100;
976
977 } elsif ($INPUT eq "mpv/file-loaded") { # start playing, configure video
978 $mpv->cmd ("seek", $playback_start, "absolute+exact") if $playback_start > 0;
979
980 my $target_fps = eval { $mpv->cmd_recv ("get_property", "container-fps") } || 60;
981 $target_fps *= play_video_speed_mult;
982 set_fps $target_fps;
983
984 unless (eval { $mpv->cmd_recv ("get_property", "video-format") }) {
985 $mpv->cmd ("set", "file-local-options/lavfi-complex", "[aid1] asplit [ao], showcqt=..., format=yuv420p [vo]");
986 };
987
988 for my $prop (keys %SAVE_PROPERTY) {
989 if (exists $PLAYING_STATE->{"mpv_$prop"}) {
990 $mpv->cmd ("set", "$prop", $PLAYING_STATE->{"mpv_$prop"} . "");
991 }
992
993 $mpv->cmd ("observe_property", ++$oid, $prop);
994 }
995
996 play_video_set_speed;
997 $mpv->cmd ("set", "osd-level", "$OSD_LEVEL");
998 $mpv->cmd ("observe_property", ++$oid, "osd-level");
999 $mpv->cmd ("set", "pause", "no");
1000
1001 $mpv->cmd ("set_property", "deinterlace", "yes")
1002 if $initial_deinterlace;
1003
1004There is a lot going on here. First it seeks to the actual playback
1005position, if it is not at the start of the file (it would probaby be more
1006efficient to set the starting position before loading the file, though,
1007but this is good enough).
1008
1009Then it plays with the display fps, to set it to something harmonious
1010w.r.t. the video framerate.
1011
1012If the file does not have a video part, it assumes it is an audio file and
1013sets a visualizer.
1014
1015Also, a number of properties are not global, but per-file. At the moment,
1016this is C<audio-delay>, and the current audio/subtitle track, which it
1017sets, and also creates an observer. Again, this doesn'T use the observe
1018functionality of this module, but handles it itself, assigning obsevrer
1019ids 100+ to temporary/per-file observers.
1020
1021Lastly, it sets some global (or per-youtube-uploader) parameters, such as
1022speed, and unpauses. Property changes are handled like other input events:
1023
1024 } elsif ($INPUT eq "mpv/property-change") {
1025 my $prop = $INPUT_DATA->{name};
1026
1027 if ($prop eq "chapter-metadata") {
1028 if ($INPUT_DATA->{data}{TITLE} =~ /^\[SponsorBlock\]: (.*)/) {
1029 my $section = $1;
1030 my $skip;
1031
1032 $skip ||= $SPONSOR_SKIP{$_}
1033 for split /\s*,\s*/, $section;
1034
1035 if (defined $skip) {
1036 if ($skip) {
1037 # delay a bit, in case we get two metadata changes in quick succession, e.g.
1038 # because we have a skip at file load time.
1039 $skip_delay = AE::timer 2/50, 0, sub {
1040 $mpv->cmd ("no-osd", "add", "chapter", 1);
1041 $mpv->cmd ("show-text", "skipped sponsorblock section \"$section\"", 3000);
1042 };
1043 } else {
1044 undef $skip_delay;
1045 $mpv->cmd ("show-text", "NOT skipping sponsorblock section \"$section\"", 3000);
1046 }
1047 } else {
1048 $mpv->cmd ("show-text", "UNRECOGNIZED sponsorblock section \"$section\"", 60000);
1049 }
1050 } else {
1051 # cancel a queued skip
1052 undef $skip_delay;
1053 }
1054
1055 } elsif (exists $SAVE_PROPERTY{$prop}) {
1056 $PLAYING_STATE->{"mpv_$prop"} = $INPUT_DATA->{data};
1057 ::state_save;
1058 }
1059
1060This saves back the per-file properties, and also handles chapter changes
1061in a hacky way.
1062
1063Most of the handlers are very simple, though. For example:
1064
1065 } elsif ($INPUT eq "pause") {
1066 $mpv->cmd ("cycle", "pause");
1067 $PLAYING_STATE->{curpos} = $mpv->cmd_recv ("get_property", "playback-time");
1068 } elsif ($INPUT eq "right") {
1069 $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar", "seek", 30, "relative+exact");
1070 } elsif ($INPUT eq "left") {
1071 $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar", "seek", -5, "relative+exact");
1072 } elsif ($INPUT eq "up") {
1073 $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar", "seek", +600, "relative+exact");
1074 } elsif ($INPUT eq "down") {
1075 $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar", "seek", -600, "relative+exact");
1076 } elsif ($INPUT eq "select") {
1077 $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar", "add", "audio-delay", "-0.100");
1078 } elsif ($INPUT eq "start") {
1079 $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar", "add", "audio-delay", "0.100");
1080 } elsif ($INPUT eq "intfwd") {
1081 $mpv->cmd ("no-osd", "frame-step");
1082 } elsif ($INPUT eq "audio") {
1083 $mpv->cmd ("osd-auto", "cycle", "audio");
1084 } elsif ($INPUT eq "subtitle") {
1085 $mpv->cmd ("osd-auto", "cycle", "sub");
1086 } elsif ($INPUT eq "triangle") {
1087 $mpv->cmd ("osd-auto", "cycle", "deinterlace");
1088
1089Once a file has finished playing (or the user strops playback), it pauses,
1090unobserves the per-file observers, and saves the current position for to
1091be able to resume:
1092
1093 $mpv->cmd ("set", "pause", "yes");
1094
1095 while ($oid > 100) {
1096 $mpv->cmd ("unobserve_property", $oid--);
1097 }
1098
1099 $PLAYING_STATE->{curpos} = $mpv->cmd_recv ("get_property", "playback-time");
1100
1101And thats most of the F<mpv>-related code.
1102
1103=head2 F<Gtk2::CV>
1104
1105F<Gtk2::CV> is low-feature image viewer that I use many times daily
1106because it can handle directories with millions of files without falling
1107over. It also had the ability to play videos for ages, but it used an
1108older, crappier protocol to talk to F<mpv> and used F<ffprobe> before
1109playing each file instead of letting F<mpv> handle format/size detection.
1110
1111After writing this module, I decided to upgprade Gtk2::CV by making use
1112of it, with the goal of getting rid of F<ffprobe> and being ablew to
1113reuse F<mpv> processes, which would have a multitude of speed benefits
1114(for example, fork+exec of F<mpv> caused the kernel to close all file
1115descriptors, which could take minutes if a large file was being copied via
1116NFS, as the kernel waited for thr buffers to be flushed on close - not
1117having to start F<mpv> gets rid of this issue).
1118
1119Setting up is only complicated by the fact that F<mpv> needs to be
1120embedded into an existing window. To keep control of all inputs,
1121F<Gtk2::CV> puts an eventbox in front of F<mpv>, so F<mpv> receives no
1122input events:
1123
1124 $self->{mpv} = AnyEvent::MPV->new (
1125 trace => $ENV{CV_MPV_TRACE},
1126 );
1127
1128 # create an eventbox, so we receive all input events
1129 my $box = $self->{mpv_eventbox} = new Gtk2::EventBox;
1130 $box->set_above_child (1);
1131 $box->set_visible_window (0);
1132 $box->set_events ([]);
1133 $box->can_focus (0);
1134
1135 # create a drawingarea that mpv can display into
1136 my $window = $self->{mpv_window} = new Gtk2::DrawingArea;
1137 $box->add ($window);
1138
1139 # put the drawingarea intot he eventbox, and the eventbox into our display window
1140 $self->add ($box);
1141
1142 # we need to pass the window id to F<mpv>, which means we need to realise
1143 # the drawingarea, so an X window is allocated for it.
1144 $self->show_all;
1145 $window->realize;
1146 my $xid = $window->window->get_xid;
1147
1148Then it starts F<mpv> using this setup:
1149
1150 local $ENV{LC_ALL} = "POSIX";
1151 $self->{mpv}->start (
1152 "--no-terminal",
1153 "--no-input-terminal",
1154 "--no-input-default-bindings",
1155 "--no-input-cursor",
1156 "--input-conf=/dev/null",
1157 "--input-vo-keyboard=no",
1158
1159 "--loop-file=inf",
1160 "--force-window=yes",
1161 "--idle=yes",
1162
1163 "--audio-client-name=CV",
1164
1165 "--osc=yes", # --osc=no displays fading play/pause buttons instead
1166
1167 "--wid=$xid",
1168 );
1169
1170 $self->{mpv}->cmd ("script-message" => "osc-visibility" => "never", "dummy");
1171 $self->{mpv}->cmd ("osc-idlescreen" => "no");
1172
1173It also prepares a hack to force a ConfigureNotify event on every vidoe
1174reconfig:
1175
1176 # force a configurenotify on every video-reconfig
1177 $self->{mpv_reconfig} = $self->{mpv}->register_event (video_reconfig => sub {
1178 my ($mpv, $event, $data) = @_;
1179
1180 $self->mpv_window_update;
1181 });
1182
1183The way this is done is by doing a "dummy" resize to 1x1 and back:
1184
1185 $self->{mpv_window}->window->resize (1, 1),
1186 $self->{mpv_window}->window->resize ($self->{w}, $self->{h});
1187
1188Without this, F<mpv> often doesn't "get" the correct window size. Doing
1189it this way is not nice, but I didn't fine a nicer way to do it.
1190
1191When no file is being played, F<mpv> is hidden and prepared:
1192
1193 $self->{mpv_eventbox}->hide;
1194
1195 $self->{mpv}->cmd (set_property => "pause" => "yes");
1196 $self->{mpv}->cmd ("playlist_remove", "current");
1197 $self->{mpv}->cmd (set_property => "video-rotate" => 0);
1198 $self->{mpv}->cmd (set_property => "lavfi-complex" => "");
1199
1200Loading a file is a bit more complicated, as bluray and DVD rips are
1201supported:
1202
1203 if ($moviedir) {
1204 if ($moviedir eq "br") {
1205 $mpv->cmd (set => "bluray-device" => $path);
1206 $mpv->cmd (loadfile => "bd://");
1207 } elsif ($moviedir eq "dvd") {
1208 $mpv->cmd (set => "dvd-device" => $path);
1209 $mpv->cmd (loadfile => "dvd://");
1210 }
1211 } elsif ($type eq "video/iso-bluray") {
1212 $mpv->cmd (set => "bluray-device" => $path);
1213 $mpv->cmd (loadfile => "bd://");
1214 } else {
1215 $mpv->cmd (loadfile => $mpv->escape_binary ($path));
1216 }
1217
1218After this, C<Gtk2::CV> waits for the file to be loaded, video to be
1219configured, and then queries the video size (to resize its own window)
1220and video format (to decide whether an audio visualizer is needed for
1221audio playback). The problematic word here is "wait", as this needs to be
1222imploemented using callbacks.
1223
1224This made the code much harder to write, as the whole setup is very
1225asynchronous (C<Gtk2::CV> talks to the command interface in F<mpv>, which
1226talks to the decode and playback parts, all of which run asynchronously
1227w.r.t. each other. In practise, this can mean that C<Gtk2::CV> waits for
1228a file to be loaded by F<mpv> while the command interface of F<mpv> still
1229deals with the previous file and the decoder still handles an even older
1230file). Adding to this fact is that Gtk2::CV is bound by the glib event
1231loop, which means we cannot wait for replies form F<mpv> anywhere, so
1232everything has to be chained callbacks.
1233
1234The way this is handled is by creating a new empty hash ref that is unique
1235for each loaded file, and use it to detect whether the event is old or
1236not, and also store C<AnyEvent::MPV> guard objects in it:
1237
1238 # every time we loaded a file, we create a new hash
1239 my $guards = $self->{mpv_guards} = { };
1240
1241Then, when we wait for an event to occur, delete the handler, and, if the
1242C<mpv_guards> object has changed, we ignore it. Something like this:
1243
1244 $guards->{file_loaded} = $mpv->register_event (file_loaded => sub {
1245 delete $guards->{file_loaded};
1246 return if $guards != $self->{mpv_guards};
1247
1248Commands do not have guards since they cnanot be cancelled, so we don't
1249have to do this for commands. But what prevents us form misinterpreting
1250an old event? Since F<mpv> (by default) handles commands synchronously,
1251we can queue a dummy command, whose only purpose is to tell us when all
1252previous commands are done. We use C<get_version> for this.
1253
1254The simplified code looks like this:
1255
1256 Scalar::Util::weaken $self;
1257
1258 $mpv->cmd ("get_version")->cb (sub {
1259
1260 $guards->{file_loaded} = $mpv->register_event (file_loaded => sub {
1261 delete $guards->{file_loaded};
1262 return if $guards != $self->{mpv_guards};
1263
1264 $mpv->cmd (get_property => "video-format")->cb (sub {
1265 return if $guards != $self->{mpv_guards};
1266
1267 # video-format handling
1268 return if eval { $_[0]->recv; 1 };
1269
1270 # no video? assume audio and visualize, cpu usage be damned
1271 $mpv->cmd (set => "lavfi-complex" => ...");
1272 });
1273
1274 $guards->{show} = $mpv->register_event (video_reconfig => sub {
1275 delete $guards->{show};
1276 return if $guards != $self->{mpv_guards};
1277
1278 $self->{mpv_eventbox}->show_all;
1279
1280 $w = $mpv->cmd (get_property => "dwidth");
1281 $h = $mpv->cmd (get_property => "dheight");
1282
1283 $h->cb (sub {
1284 $w = eval { $w->recv };
1285 $h = eval { $h->recv };
1286
1287 $mpv->cmd (set_property => "pause" => "no");
1288
1289 if ($w && $h) {
1290 # resize our window
1291 }
1292
1293 });
1294 });
1295
1296 });
1297
1298 });
1299
1300Most of the rest of the code is much simpler and just deals with forwarding user commands:
1301
1302 } elsif ($key == $Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms{Right}) { $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar" => seek => "+10");
1303 } elsif ($key == $Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms{Left} ) { $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar" => seek => "-10");
1304 } elsif ($key == $Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms{Up} ) { $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar" => seek => "+60");
1305 } elsif ($key == $Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms{Down} ) { $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar" => seek => "-60");
1306 } elsif ($key == $Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms{a}) ) { $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-msg" => cycle => "audio");
1307 } elsif ($key == $Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms{j} ) { $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-msg" => cycle => "sub");
1308 } elsif ($key == $Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms{o} ) { $mpv->cmd ("no-osd" => "cycle-values", "osd-level", "2", "3", "0", "2");
1309 } elsif ($key == $Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms{p} ) { $mpv->cmd ("no-osd" => cycle => "pause");
1310 } elsif ($key == $Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms{9} ) { $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar" => add => "ao-volume", "-2");
1311 } elsif ($key == $Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms{0} ) { $mpv->cmd ("osd-msg-bar" => add => "ao-volume", "+2");
