Features & Capabilities

ff2mpv for Windows is a streamlined Firefox extension enabling users to play videos directly in the mpv player. It enhances video playback convenience by allowing sending videos through a toolbar button, context menu, or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Space. This forked version of the original ff2mpv extension adapts its functionality specifically for the Windows environment, removing the need for a native client.

To operate smoothly, users must configure the 'ytdl://' protocol in the Windows registry and ensure both the mpv player and yt-dlp downloader are located in the same directory. This setup leverages yt-dlp's capabilities to fetch online video streams seamlessly. Comprehensive instructions and source code are available on the official GitHub repository at https://github.com/eastmarch/ff2mpv, facilitating straightforward installation and customization for enthusiasts and developers.

Is ff2mpv (for Windows) Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ff2mpv (for Windows) does not require any sensitive permissions.
