Happy New Year! Enhanced chat support for mpv is ready for testing.
You can e-mail us feedback via dev@syncplay.pl or use the dedicated feedback issue at https://github.com/Syncplay/syncplay/issues/168
Features:
- You chat straight from mpv. By default you press enter, write your message, then press enter again. There is also an optional mode so you can start typing straight away.
- You can how see multiple chat messages at once in a ‘chat room’ style or a ‘scrolling text’ style.
- New ‘Chat’ tab in the Syncplay configuration dialogue. To get to this check ‘Show more settings’ in the normal dialogue.
- (Experimental) Enter the commands from the command line interface mode straight into Syncplay by prefixing your message with “/”, e.g. “/u” to undo last seek and “/t” to toggle whether you are in ready mode.

Known limitations:
- Only supports input of US-ASCII characters via mpv. Other characters can be pasted in or entered via the main Syncplay UI. If you can figure out how to get around this then feel free to make a Pull Request!
- You need to be using mpv >= v0.28.0 for the On-Screen Controller to be hidden during chat (e.g. to avoid it overlapping with the text input when it is positioned at the bottom)
- Not all responses to /commands are relayed to mpv and only appear in the Syncplay notification window. If you want to fix this then feel free to make a Pull Request!
