This is an extension that lets you play youtube videos with mpv.
If you install the Native Client after you install the Chrome extension, make sure to disable, then re-enable the Chrome extension.
There are 3 ways to open a video with this extension:
-
Right-click on a youtube link:
- When you right-click on a youtube link you will get a menu item that says "Open In MPV".
-
If you are on a Youtube video page, a button will be shown below the video:
- Clicking on the button will open the video in mpv.
-
Clicking on the button in the chrome extensions toolbar:
-
When you click on the extension button, a popup will display showing all the Youtube links and embeds on the page. Clicking on one of these in the popup will open the video in mpv.
-
Note: if you click on the button when you are on a Youtube video page, it will open that video without showing the popup.
-
You can open multiple videos at once.
This extension requires a native client to be installed. You can download the installer for the native client here: https://github.com/Darkle/youtube-play-with-mpv-native-client#readme
I have changed the mpv keybindings slightly:
- The up and down arrow keys now increase and decrease the volume.
- The ctrl+right now skips ahead by one minute and ctrl+left skips back one minute (left and right still skip the normal amount: 5 seconds)
You can find the rest of the default mpv keybindings here: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/etc/input.conf
