v1.4

• Hooks only trigger on Plex and Plex HTPC now.
• Fixed seeking errors when debugging is enabled.
• Hook callback now calls the mpv_command_ret function rather than mpv_command_string. This allows mpv to set the playlist index accordingly to what Plex sets for the IPC. With this fix, the player will minimize (and return to the Plex interface) once playback ends, rather than stay with the player opened with the video file being unloaded.

v1.1a

• Enabled TLS verification when not connecting to *.plex.direct domains, like default Plex does.

v1.1

• Replaced API communication with a safer method.
• Added support for *.plex.direct URLs.
  • rcombs added resolve-hosts to the ffmpeg fork used at Plex for their stripped down mpv build.
  • The functionality does not exist in upstream mpv, as upstream mpv uses upstream ffmpeg; and that patch was declined.
  • The setting is used by Plex to resolve plex.direct URLs to their IP addresses by appending this to loadfile: stream-lavf-o=resolve_hosts=[<ip_address>.<hash_goes_here>.plex.direct:<ip_address>]
  • Then to support https for the *.plex.direct hostnames, they also import their custom CA database from resources/cacert.pem.
  • For whatever reason, loadfile <url> straight up bypasses the certificate mismatch when the path contains a valid video stream from the Plex Media Server.. I don't understand why nor do I care that much, but it's clearly not working as intended, as we are not supposed to even send the request to the host when the certificate is invalid. This allows me to just replace the Plex request to the mpv api so that it loads from the https://<plex server ip>:port/... rather than the https://<ip>.<hash>:port/... URL, and we get a working stream without resolve-hosts and the custom CA database!
