I recently encountered the error "Service name too long" when using the
package subed [1]. It seems to originate from `src/process.c'. The
problem was that the value `subed-mpv-socket-dir' was too large. It was
automatically set too
/var/folders/6y/bnw7_h3j6w389gndfds7mzxm0000gn/T/subed-mpv-socket
However, changing it to a smaller value, for instance
/tmp/subed-mpv-socket
solved the issue.
Is there a necessary reason why this error was thrown (/e.g./ the max
limit is dependent on the OS)? The required length of string to cause
it is rather small.

It is a fixed limit on your system and cannot be lifted.
