Can mpv parse php as input?

[wbtcpip2]

with VLC i can open this stream:
https://www.radiosalento.net/filmdoc/filmrandom.php
(that return an mp4 file "https://radiosalento.net/filmdoc/i 12 Apostoli di Gesu` Cristo - Ecco come Morirono.mp4")

while i cannot with mpv
Failed to recognize file format.
Exiting... (Errors when loading file)

is there any setting that allow mpv to parse a php as input?

mpv "$(curl https://www.radiosalento.net/filmdoc/filmrandom.php)"

[wbtcpip2]

mpv "$(curl https://www.radiosalento.net/filmdoc/filmrandom.php)" [file] Cannot open file '$(curl https://www.radiosalento.net/filmdoc/filmrandom.php)': Invalid argument Failed to open $(curl https://www.radiosalento.net/filmdoc/filmrandom.php). Exiting... (Errors when loading file)

is this also valid on windows?

Yes, but only from powershell.

ok as i use libmpv i will parse the uri before passing it to MPVCommand loadfile

i was wondering if mpv had an itnernal parser.

thank you

No, mpv itself will not resolve this indirection. You can extract url before passing to mpv or add extractor to ytdl so it gets done internally.
