Flatpak version of mpv

Open bmp opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

As I am on an immutable distribution, I have mpv installed through flatpak. My mpv command is therefore flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv. Is there a place I could configure this to use the flatpak version of mpv?

I also have an alias in my .bashrc as alias mpv='flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv', but it doesn't work in mpv.el

Is anyone else facing this issue?

Did you try customizing the mpv-executable variable in emacs?

Yes, and it didn't help at all.

I see. This is where it is used, so it expects a single executable name.

Either you create an executable that calls flatpak, or you patch that mpv-start function to call flatpak and pass the rest as arguments: "run" "io.mpv.Mpv".
