bomb!!!
by Luca Di Curzio, 2025-01-29

Simple to use and does what it should. Some streams are not detected even if developer mode (network tab) shows a .m3u link. Some streams require a user agent header like "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64)", which is not what MPV sends by default. For some reason the mpv command built by this extension misses --user-agent parameter.
