Be that dick who tweets screenshots of their favourite anime spoiling everyone without even having to leave your player!

Create your config using the get_keys binary. A browser window will open and you'll get a code after clicking Authorize. Write the code into the terminal and a file called mpv-livetweet.conf will be created.
Create a folder called script-opts in your mpv config folder (the one containing mpv.conf) and move the mpv-livetweet.conf file into it.
Copy the twitter binary somewhere and copy its path.
Open mpv-livetweet.conf and configure the path to curl and to the twitter binary.
# On Windows 10 curl_path is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\curl.exe
curl_path=/path/to/curl
twitter_path=/path/to/twitter/binary
Copy mpv-livetweet.lua to the scripts folder in your mpv config folder.
Download user-input.lua and save it to the scripts folder in your mpv config folder.
The script tries to fetch the hashtag of the anime you're currently watching with the AniList API and appends it to the tweet text. If you don't want it to be fetched, set the fetch_hashtag option to no in the config file.
fetch_hashtag=no
By default the script sends tweets as a reply to the last tweet it sent during the same session. You can clear the last tweet ID by exiting the player, using the keybind, or you can disable this functionality by setting the as_reply option to no in the config file.
as_reply=no
| Shortcut | When queue is empty | With screenshots in queue |
|---|---|---|
| Alt+s | Queue a screenshot | Queue a screenshot |
| Alt+t | Take a screenshot and tweet it | Tweet queued screenshots |
| Alt+c | - | Delete queued screenshots |
| Alt+x | Clear the last tweet ID | Clear the last tweet ID |
The keybinds can be changed in the config file.
keybind_queue_screenshot=Alt+s
keybind_tweet=Alt+t
keybind_cancel=Alt+c
keybind_clear_reply=Alt+x
To increase the font size of the tweet input (which is really tiny by default), create a file called user-input.conf in the script-opts folder and set the font_size option to your preferred size. The default is 16.
font_size=24
Acquire a consumer API key and secret from a twitter app, either from an existing one or by creating your own on https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps.
Compile the twitter and get_keys crates with Rust with the CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET env variables set to the tokens you acquired.
CONSUMER_KEY=foo CONSUMER_SECRET=bar cargo build --release
Or on Powershell:
$ENV:CONSUMER_KEY="foo"; $ENV:CONSUMER_SECRET="bar"; cargo build --release
Excessive use of the script might cause butthurt and follower loss. Use responsibly and in small doses.
