Works perfect But the initial setup can be a lil problematic. Someone who isn't using git will get stuck at step #4. Without git installed: 1. Install MPV 2. Install python 3. Install chrome extension 4. Go to https://github.com/thann/play-with-mpv and download everthing by pressing "Code" [Green button] -> "Download ZIP" 5. Extract everything 6. Start server by running "play-with-mpv.py" 7. Reload any website for media playback / Restart browser The chrome extension has to be configured as well... Configure the plugin: 1. Open the extension settings 2. Select desired resolution 3. Enter the given server location by "play-with-mpv.py" (for example http://localhost:7531) 4. Enter in "MPV Arguments" --force-window (It didn't show a media window without it) Any media will be relayed to the server when pressing the extension button and the mpv media window should appear with it shortly after... | |

Cannot get it installed. Relevant message is (I think): Preparing metadata (setup.py): started Preparing metadata (setup.py): finished with status 'error' error: subprocess-exited-with-error × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully. Someone willing to clarify? Sorry, I don't have hours to debug this stuff. | |

But with youtube-dl low download speed from youtube, look at yt-dlp. | |

Хм, забавно, но оно работает. Конечно, это окно в окно Хромиума, а отдельное окно mpv. И да - youtube-dl нужно ставить. Без него - нечем качать видос для mpv. Проверял на Japan 8 60fps. | |
