using argparse, added an optional argument to specify the socket file used by the umpv script. Adding this feature can allow things such as keeping a music playlist and video playlist separate, while retaining the features of umpv, namely on-the-fly playlist appending. One could bind a program (web browser, file manager, etc.) to open only to a specified instance of mpv, and the uniqueness provided by the script can be used to provide some rudimentary separation of content. Music and video being separated are one hypothetical, but another is a playlist of television content and youtube content. If you want to watch a youtube video in the middle of a playlist, you can open to a "youtube" instance of mpv (launched with umpv) and simply pause your television content, without disrupting your playlist position.

Giving umpv the ability to open multiple windows is kind of funny but I suppose it doesn't hurt. Needs a rebase, a squash and the commit message fixed. |
