# aw-watcher-mpv
An ActivityWatch watcher for MPV.  

Based of off [aw-watcher-spotify](https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-spotify) and [aw-watcher-mpv](https://git.kvos.dev/kris/aw-watcher-mpd).

## Development
1. Install pip packages from the requirements.txt.  
`pip install -r requirements.txt`
2. Start ActivityWatch in testing mode.  
`aw-qt --testing`
3. `cd aw_watcher_mpv`
4. `python main.py --testing`

## Building
Make sure you have pyinstaller installed before you start.  
`pip install -U pyinstaller`
1. make clean
2. make package  

`dist/aw-watcher-mpv` is your outputted folder

## Installing (Linux)
To install aw-watcher-mpv, first build it, then follow the below steps to install and automatically start the watcher when ActivityWatch starts.
1. `cp -R dist/aw-watcher-mpv /opt`
2. Create `/usr/bin/aw-watcher-mpv`  
Contents:

```bash
#!/bin/bash

/opt/aw-watcher-mpv/aw-watcher-mpv "$@"
```
3. chmod +x `/usr/bin/aw-watcher-mpv`
4. Edit `~/.config/activitywatch/aw-qt/aw-qt.toml`  
Uncomment the first two lines and add `aw-watcher-mpv` to autostart.  
Example:

```toml
[aw-qt]
autostart_modules = ["aw-server", "aw-watcher-afk", "aw-watcher-window", "aw-watcher-mpv"]
```

## Configuring
To configure settings for aw-watcher-mpv such as the socket file location and ActivityWatch poll time, first run the application once, and then edit `~/.config/activitywatch/aw-watcher-mpv/aw-watcher-mpv.toml`.

## MPV (Linux)
This watcher works by connecting to an MPV socket file. By default, MPV does not use a socket file, so to use this you need to use a special argument when running MPV. You can do this manually by adding `--input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpv-socket`, or you can also add this in MPV's config file(s), for example by adding `input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpv-socket` to `~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf`.
