Features & Capabilities

Play with MPV is a Chrome extension that enables users to send videos from web pages, such as YouTube, directly to an external MPV video player. This enhances video playback by leveraging the powerful MPV player capabilities.

To get started, install the MPV player and Python (version 2 or 3) with pip. After installing the extension, run a simple pip command to install play-with-mpv. You can then start the server and conveniently launch videos in MPV by right-clicking them or using a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Space). The extension supports autostart configuration on Linux, macOS, and Windows for hassle-free use. It's a great tool for users looking to enhance their video viewing experience outside the browser environment.

Is Play with MPV 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.

Play with MPV requires very minimum permissions.
