Overview

Mpv Subs Popout

A little application that makes it possible to display mpv's subs anywhere you want.

Why? You can now watch shows in foreign languages on your second monitor and do other stuff on your main monitor while still being able to read the subs. (Thats why I built this anway)

mpv-subs-popout.mp4

Installation

This app uses mpv's ipc to get the current subs. To activate this you can either add --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsock every time you use mpv or better add the line input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsock to your mpv.conf (location of config).

Currently only Linux is Supported. Support for Windows is planned.

Arch

mkdir mpv-subs-popout && cd mpv-subs-popout

# Get the PKGBUILD
wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdaqo/mpv-subs-popout/main/PKGBUILD'

makepkg -si
cd .. && rm -rf mpv-subs-popout

Debian (or a derivative)

Download the latest .deb release from the releases. And then:

# The ./ is important else it does not install from the file.
apt install ./name_of_deb.deb

Other Distros

Just download the binary release or maybe your distro has any way to install from .deb files (search it up).

Building

To Build a plain and simple binary you will need the libs for gtk3, glib, pango and cairo (probably preinstalled if you are on a system with graphical interface). You will also need Cargo (I recommend you use rustup to install it).

cargo build --release
./target/release/mpv-subs-popout

To build the .deb do this:

cargo deb
cd target/debian

Features

  • Always works: Open mpv after the Popout or before, it detects mpv and attaches itself
  • Custom Font and Font size
  • Always on Top & Docked mode

Planned

  • Windows Support
  • Custom bg color
  • Custom text color
  • Any other suggested features (Make an Issue)
