iPlay Skill
Control your iPlay desktop application to play media from any URL.
Quick Start
To play a video or stream:
{baseDir}/scripts/iplay_play.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..."
Features
- Protocol Handling: Automatically handles
iplay:// URI schemes. - Universal Support: Works with any URL supported by your iPlay installation (including those requiring
yt-dlp). - Base64 Encoding: Encodes target URLs to ensure compatibility with complex query parameters.
Requirements
- iPlay: Must be installed on the host machine.
- System: macOS (v1.2.8+), Windows (v1.0.614+), or Linux with
xdg-open. - Python 3: Required to run the helper script.
Notes
- This skill triggers the player asynchronously; it does not track playback progress.
- For streaming sites like Bilibili or YouTube, ensure
yt-dlp is configured within your iPlay settings.
