Topic: SVP for Plex for Windows - Doesn't work?

There are two desktop programs for Plex.
Here: https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/#plex-app

The guide for setting up SVP to work with Plex Media Player works well and I still use it, but I'm getting worried as the plans for Plex Media Player is that it will eventually stop being supported as they transition to Plex for Windows.
There are also features being added to Plex for Windows that aren't being added to Plex Media Player that I'm missing out on due to SVP (at least the instructions for getting it to work) don't work.

So... I was wondering if anyone knows of a method to get SVP to work in the newer Plex for Windows?

Thanks guys.

I don't see how to pass 'input-ipc-server' value to "Plex for Windows" mpv, it ignores all the common mpv.conf locations.

Re: SVP for Plex for Windows - Doesn't work?

Here's patched libmpv, it loads mpv.conf from default location: %APPDATA%\mpv\<exe_name>\mpv.conf
So for Plex for Windows you have to add 'input-ipc-server=mpvpipe' into %APPDATA%\mpv\Plex.exe\mpv.conf
