Custom property returns empty using IPC socket

[KucharczykL]

Hello,

I am working on a custom script that sets the rating tag (via mutagen) for the currently playing file. I have that working and now I want to read the value using IPC socket. To do that, I thought using a custom property might work since I couldn't get script-message to return the data. However when I use the read_property command asking for script-opts I get empty data in the returned JSON.

[rate_file] Set script-opts/rating to ['1']

echo '{ "command": ["get_property", "script-opts"] }' | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
{"data":{},"request_id":0,"error":"success"}

The only topic I found discussing getting custom properties via IPC is #10732 and the method there doesn't seem to work anymore. What am I doing wrong?

script-opts doesn't support setting or accessing sub-properties with /. You can use user-data/rating.

Ah, thanks so much, it works now!
