# MPV sockets A basic script which automates assigning socket files for mpv instances. The script provides an interface to update the socket filenames, both through key-bindings and programmatically. You can set the socket name by providing it as an option: `--script-opts=socket=` or by pressing ALT+s and entering the new socket name in the mpv window. ## Credits [mpvSockets](https://github.com/wis/mpvSockets) by [wis](https://github.com/wis) for inspiration.
