Re: [emms-help] emms-player-mpv ipc-error: connection-error

[Konstantin Reich]

Mike,

Thank you for your help. Recently, i was behind the curve  and was not able to 
answer.

I run 

>      mpv --quiet --really-quiet --no-audio-display --idle \
>       --input-ipc-server=/home/reich/.emacs.d/emms-player-mpv-ipc.sock   
> some.mp3

and do not get any error. mpv plays file normally.


I used emacs -Q with loaded emms from the directory ~/.emacs.d/elpa/emms-......

and your config. Got the same error. 


Maybe the problem me using emacs 26?
