mpris integration for YouTube Music

This firefox extentsion provides access to YouTube music tracks via mpris.

What does that mean?

Doing something in some other tab or outside the browser and want to change the current track? Want to pause the song?

With this, you no longer need to open the ytmusic tab. You can now directly use the buttons (or playerctl and similar controllers) to control playback.

Other benefits

polybar integration (script and polybar config can be found in my dotfiles; will be integrated here soon)

How do I install it

Go to the releases tab
Download the latest release
Open firefox and go to about:addons
Click on the cog icon
Install Add-On From File

How to use

npm i
