Chrome extension that allows you to play videos in webpages like youtube with MPV instead
Chrome extension and python server that allows you to play videos in webpages with MPV instead.
Works on hundreds of sites thanks to youtube-dl,
and even torrents if you install peerflix.
pip install git+git://github.com/thann/play-with-mpv --user
play-with-mpv
(or use the Linux free desktop shortcut)(optional) Install fair-use extension.
(optional) Install peerflix to stream torrents.
(optional) Install mkchromecast pip install git+git://github.com/muammar/mkchromecast --user
and extension.
(recommended) Install youtube-dl through your package manager for frequent updates.
(Arch Linux) aur package available.
Right-click this link and select "Play with MPV". MPV should popup and start playing the video. (Ctrl+Space also works)
cp {/usr,~/.local}/share/applications/thann.play-with-mpv.desktop ~/.config/autostart
MPV is highly configurable, this is just how I like to use it.
To start in the corner, have no border, and stay on top: edit ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf
ontop=yes
border=no
window-scale=0.4
geometry=100%:100%
In order to resize the window without borders, add keybinds: edit ~/.config/mpv/input.conf
` cycle border
ALT+UP add window-scale 0.05
ALT+DOWN add window-scale -0.05
