binarynoise/open-in-mpv

Use the context menu or the button in the navigation bar to open a video in mpv.

open in mpv

A minimalist extension to open the current website or a link in mpv. You only need to put a .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications/mpv-scheme-handler.desktop.

And if you don't have that file installed, you get a shell-script to put it into place. No more "nothing happens" and no-one knows why! You still need to have mpv installed though.

Caution

Currently supported platforms: Linux only
Windows support is planned: #11

Inspired by Open In mpv by Leonardo and ff2mpv by yossarian, which require additional binaries installed but don't tell you when they are missing.
