It allows +users to control the playback of audio, video and even images by +interacting with external players like mpv and vlc using IPC. + +I've been using EMMS exclusively with mpv, and the separation of media +playlist management and playback, as well as moving playlist +management to a purely plaintext environment make perfect sense. + +What is a playlist, but a list of urls? As a simple experiment, you +can write a working m3u file by hand, with each line the raw path to a +media file. It will load in EMMS, neat. + +What's also neat is mpv, a media player able to handle any kind of url +you throw at it. Local files? Of course. Remote file urls over +https? Yup. SFTP? You don't even need to sshfs mount, just do =mpv +sftp://host:port/path/to/media.file=. How about Libreplanet videos? +It will work, through youtube-dl extractors, just do =mpv +https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/fsf-award-ceremony/=. +By the way, there's no mediagoblin extractor, but youtube-dl could +find the media file using its rather versitile generic extractor. + +You can also create a playlist based on a youtube channel or playlist, +with the help of some elisp plumbing calling =youtube-dl -j +<playlist-or-channel-url> | jq '.webpage_url'= and add the urls to a +playlist. If you want, you can even bind a key to download a remote +media piece you like! |
