I'm streaming video using mpv on my ubuntu using this command line
mpv http://myserverUrl:1234 --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket -v --geometry=400x320+20+30
It is streaming the video and I managed to stop using echo '{ "command": ["set_property", "pause", true] }' | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket after reading Pause programmatically video player mpv post.
But i also need to resize the geometry without killing the video process and restart another new mpv instance using the new geometry size. Is that possible? I tried using
echo "set geometry=1270x300" | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
but doesn't work.
anyone can point me to right direction?
Thanks.
