Is this the proper way to stop stream recording via IPC?

Hi.

Supposing this stream playing:

mpv http://s1.myradiostream.com:12508/listen.mp3 --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket

and this record starting via IPC:

echo '{ "command": ["set_property_string", "stream-record", "/home/user/record.mp3"] }' | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
{"request_id":0,"error":"success"}

is this below the correct way to stop the recording?

echo '{ "command": ["set_property_string", "stream-record", ""] }' | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
{"request_id":0,"error":"success"}

cheers

I do not think so. What you could do is stop the playback (that would stop the recording).

FWIW, I can't test this now, but stopping might indeed work, so you could try to send this command:

echo '{ "command": ["stop"] }' | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
