How it works

Claude Code fires hooks on lifecycle events. claude-play listens to those hooks and controls mpv, playing your videos when Claude is working and pausing instantly when you need to respond.

Claude Code
hooks
claude-play
daemon
mpv
video
Claude working    → video plays
Claude done       → video keeps playing
Permission needed → video pauses + hides
You respond       → video resumes

Works across multiple sessions. Saves your playback position between pauses and restarts. Streams from URLs. No downloads needed.

    git clone https://github.com/mlekhi/claude-play.git && cd claude-play && bash install.sh
  2. Configure your videos
    Edit ~/.claude-play/config.json with your video URLs or local file path.
  3. Add hooks to Claude Code
