Hide menu bar
It would be really nice if there was a way to remove the menu bar for people using tiling windows managers.
You can do that now by enabling CSD and floating controls, then set the mpv option border=no. I'll implement a more direct way to do this later.
@gnome-mpv / @celluloid-player
any news on this? I would like to switch to complete borderless (i.e. only video/audio content, no controls) picture-in-picture like view with a keybombo. I found absolutely no option to turn off menu bar in source code / properties. Can one be added?
By the way, why are there no properties to control the playlist gui and controls gui? I found only toggle, but no thing I could set "playlist_ui" = "no"..
TL;DR: Picture-in-Picture isn't possible with gnome-mpv/celluloid due this.

Sure. I'll look into it.

mpv doesn't provide an API for libmpv clients to add their own properties. For things that mpv has properties for, like border, we can observe the properties and respond appropriately. For things that mpv doesn't have properties for, we have to use script messages instead.
For your use case, we can add set variants for the toggle commands. Do you think that would work?
Hey thanks for fast response

Yes, anything is fine that can be added to input.conf or/and lua. Is it also possible to get_ value?
By the way, I experimented yesterday with os.execute(gsettings set io.....playlist-thing true/fals) and the application doesnt react on the settings change there (for CSD I do understand that it's not possible to observe/adapt the application at runtime).
Let me know when you are interested in more details/info.
Thanks

I don't think so. There's no way for a command to return a value AFAIK.

I'll see if I can make them work in real time. Those GSettings keys were only intended to be used to save window state across sessions, so they weren't set up to take effect immediately.
