Mirrored from https://github.com/Thann/play-with-mpv to try to fix an issue, this is NOT my work.
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.
- Install MPV
- Install python 2 or 3 and pip
- Install chrome extension
- Run
pip install git+git://github.com/duskyBabz/play-with-mpv-custom --user
- Start server by running
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)
- Linux:
cp {/usr,~/.local}/share/applications/thann.play-with-mpv.desktop ~/.config/autostart
- MacOS: instructions
- Windows instructions
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
