Setting input-ipc-server in mpv.conf breaks syncplay

[soredake]

Describe the bug
When i add input-ipc-server=\\.\pipe\mpvsocket for trakt-scrobbler syncplay can no longer connect to mpv.net instance.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. winget install Syncplay.Syncplay mpv.net
2. Add input-ipc-server=\\.\pipe\mpvsocket to %APPDATA%\mpv.net\mpv.conf
3. Set mpv.net path in syncplay c:\users\<user>\appdata\local\programs\mpv.net\mpvnet.exe
4. Launch syncplay
5. Error "MPV process retry limit reached."

Expected behavior
Syncplay should work and be able to connect to mpv.net instance even if input-ipc-server is set in conf file.

Screenshots

Version and platform:

• OS: [e.g. Windows 10 64-bit or macOS 10.15]
• Syncplay version and build type: [e.g. Syncplay 1.6.9 portable]
• Media player and version: [e.g. VLC 3.0.16 32-bit]

Bing chat helped me create this lua script as a workaround for this problem, so I can use both trakt-scrobbler and syncplay simultaneously:

-- Import the mpv functions
local mp = require 'mp'

-- Function to check the property and set the ipc server
local function check_property_and_set_ipc_server()
    -- Get the value of the 'osd-align-y' property
    local osd_align_y = mp.get_property("osd-align-y")

    -- Print a debug message
    print("osd-align-y is: " .. osd_align_y)

    -- Check if the property is not 'bottom'
    if osd_align_y ~= "bottom" then
        -- Set the 'input-ipc-server' property
        mp.set_property("input-ipc-server", "\\\\.\\pipe\\mpvsocket")

        -- Print a debug message
        print("Set input-ipc-server to \\\\.\\pipe\\mpvsocket")
    else
        -- Print a debug message
        print("osd-align-y is 'bottom', so input-ipc-server was not set")
    end
end

-- Wait for 10 seconds after player start, then call the function
mp.add_timeout(10, check_property_and_set_ipc_server)

-- Print a debug message
print("Script has started, waiting for 10 seconds...")

This should now be fixed by #669 as per #529.
