Open MPV with CLI(termux) ?

See original GitHub issue

As we know, termux had a build-in Mpv, but it can not play video correctly. https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/878

So, I found a way to open Mpv app, like: $ am start -n is.xyz.mpv/is.xyz.mpv.MainActivity But till now, I have no idea to pass the URL or path to MPV app by this way. Could U guys make a patch for it? Or just show me the parameters of CLI call method?

Hello! You can call MPVActivity with filepath extra parameter: $ am start -n is.xyz.mpv/is.xyz.mpv.MPVActivity -e filepath <url>

I see. The problem with passing command line options to mpv-andoid is caused by that fact that mpv-android is an Android application that uses libmpv and the only the application itself can set the libmpv options. In theory you could have an easily accessible configuration file - /sdcard/custom.conf for example - included in the mpv.conf that you can edit using application’s UI (include=/sdcard/custom.conf) that you could edit before opening a file. This would be the closest equivalent to CLI options that I can think of.
