mpv_dart's Issues

MPV JSON IPC Binding: Couldn't create first pipe instance: Access is denied. (0x80070005)

I'm trying to get the example code to run on Windows 10, however I receive the following error.
I have confirmed that JSON IPC binding works through command prompt.

Flutter version: 3.0.5
MPV version: 0.34.0-384-gd2467f61be
Windows 10 version: 21H2
OS build: 19044.1826

Any help would be great, thanks!

flatpak not working

I have it working running locally with mpv installed, but my flatpak installer doesn't work.

I used your code for flatpak, and a few others I found online for mpv, none work.

Any ideas? Maybe I'm missing some other flatpak permission or arg?

I tried everything.

Only one instance at a time supported

This line overrides the socket/pipe used in the library.

https://github.com/KRTirtho/mpv_dart/blob/5367567962930be19a442c4b745d84c2fbcf6783/lib/src/mpv.dart#L112C1-L113

Since it can't be manually configured, I can't set an application ID or unique instance ID to use for the socket instead. This ends up meaning that only one thing on an entire system can use mpv_dart at any given time.
