Ready Player Mode now on MELPA
A few weeks ago, I announced Ready Player Mode's availability on GitHub. As of today, you can find it on MELPA.
Ready Player Mode is a lightweight major mode to open media (audio/video) files in an Emacs buffer.
Install, enable via M-x ready-player-mode and you should be good to go.
Open and preview media files (audio + video) like other files. If in repeat mode, ready-player attempts to play other files in the current directory. Track playback from the corresponding dired buffer.
Playback is handled by your favourite command line utility. ready-player-mode will try to use either mpv, vlc, ffplay, or mplayer (in that order), but you can customize that. I'd love to hear of other defaults worth considering.
Bonus rendering includes media thumbnails and metadata, if either ffmpegthumbnailer or ffmpeg are found.
