title: mpv linux changing video window size
body: <p>I'm streaming video using mpv on my ubuntu using this command line</p>
  
  <pre><code>mpv http://myserverUrl:1234 --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket -v --geometry=400x320+20+30
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is streaming the video and I managed to stop using <code>echo '{ "command": ["set_property", "pause", true] }' | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket</code> after reading <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35013075/pause-programmatically-video-player-mpv]">Pause programmatically video player mpv</a> post.</p>
  
  <p>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 </p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "set geometry=1270x300" | socat - /tmp/mpvsocket
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but doesn't work. </p>
  
  <p>anyone can point me to right direction? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
