I'm streaming video using mpv on my ubuntu using this command line

mpv http://myserverUrl:1234 --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket -v --geometry=400x320+20+30

It is streaming the video and I managed to stop using echo '{ "command": ["set_property", "pause", true] }' | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket after reading Pause programmatically video player mpv post.

But i also need to resize the geometry without killing the video process and restart another new mpv instance using the new geometry size. Is that possible? I tried using 

echo "set geometry=1270x300" | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket

but doesn't work.

anyone can point me to right direction?

Thanks.

    don't really use it but the example you says "works" sends JSON, so why don't you try the same pattern echo "{ "command": ["set_property", "geometry", "1270x300"] }' | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket – kenny Apr 11 '19 at 12:16
