Requirements:

• youtube-dl

Installation and default setup

-- Using lazy.nvim:
{ "tamton-aquib/mpv.nvim", config=true }

Usage/Configuration

• The command: :MpvToggle
• The actual api: require("mpv").toggle_player()

Click to view default config

require("mpv").setup {
    width = 50,
    height = 5,              -- Changing these two might break the UI 😬
    border = 'single',
    setup_widgets = false,   -- to activate the widget components
    timer = {
        after = 1000,
        throttle = 250,      -- Update time for the widgets. (lesser the faster)
    }
}

• Keymaps:

key	action
<CR>	Input song/link
p / <space\>	pause/play
q	quit
> / <	next/prev in playlist
m	mute/unmute

Statusline/Tabline components

make sure you set setup_widgets to true inside setup()

-- Components are: g:mpv_title, g:mpv_visualizer, g:mpv_percent
require("lualine").setup {
    sections = {
        lualine_c = {
            {
                function() return '  ' end,
                color='green',
                on_click=require("mpv").toggle_player
            },
            'g:mpv_title'
        },
    }
}
