#mpv

Why is mpv able to access video but not audio over ssh? If I haven’t logged in then user physically on the remote host, mpv only displays video and throws errors regarding the audio. And there is, in fact, no audio. I need to be logged in physically on the remote host. Why is that? You’d think a video feed would be more guarded than an audio one. But maybe this isn’t about security at all? Please enlighten me! 😊 It would be cool to be able to send commands to my media playing laptop from my phone. Like a remote controller. 🤣

Not sure why, but #mpv on #FreeBSD is super stuttery now and doesn't want to play video. Not sure what happened. rld@Intrepid:~$ uname -srm FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p2 amd64 rld@Intrepid:~$ pkg info |grep mpv mpv-0.41.0_1,1 Free and open-source general-purpose video player Tried reinstalling it and all its dependencies, but it's still doing it. Maybe I need to employ my old adage, the very sagest advice from a hypothetical #Canadian: "When in doot, reboot!" Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Please tip your waitstaff. 😄
