Tries to play links in MPV
What is ff2mpv?
ff2mpv is a Chrome extension that allows users to play links directly in MPV. By clicking on the toolbar icon, the active tab's URL can be played, or by selecting a context menu on a link and clicking the MPV icon, specific links can be played. Prior to version 4.0.0, ff2mpv was a fork of Firefox's extension but it now shares the same codebase from version 4.0.0 and onwards, integrating seamlessly with both Chrome and Firefox formats.

Works like a charm and not too hard to set up compared to other extensions with similar functionality. Thank you for this!
Cannot get it to work. No message about any failure neither, just does nothing. Perhaps the developer could clarify.
works great. I just had to add playback via yt-dlp.
