Small speed "downloading" videos

Great work!

For those that use youtube-dl or yt-dlp in mpv implicitly (i.e., by adding it to your shell $PATH instead of in your mpv.conf), to get this addon to work, you need to explicitly declare a ~/.config/mpv.conf config with

ytdl_path="/opt/bin/yt-dlp"
or
script-opts-add=ytdl_hook-ytdl_path="/opt/bin/yt-dlp"

(but replace "/opt/bin/yt-dlp" with the absolute path of your youtube-dl/yt-dlp binary)

I *must* be dreaming after using this extension since: I'm on linux and this simple, yet highly useful extension has out-of-the-box functionality which I assume involves some sorcery

Works great.

It works great. It's lightweight compared to other apps that does something similar. It just has one function but for most people this is all they will ever need to send video links to Mpv.

this is an simple and excellent addon! if you watch a lot of youtube i recommend using it in conjunction with the chronotube addon by necauqua which will make mpv start at the correct time code.

simple and great

works well with mpv player. gave it a four because some Telesur videos do not play. They have different aspect ratio. Example is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbSED1r9W-Q. If I try to manually run mpv on the tmp file that it creates, mpv does not start.
I can download this video with youtube-dl in terminal and play it directly to mpv no problem.
Here is the output if I manually play the EXTM3U file from terminal.

$ mpv /tmp/mozilla_buster0/rqIjNeCd
Playing: /tmp/mozilla_buster0/rqIjNeCd

Refusing to load potentially unsafe URL from a playlist.
Use --playlist=file or the --load-unsafe-playlists option to load it anyway.

If I directly play the http from file i get it works and I get

$ mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbSED1r9W-Q

Да это же просто идеально! Лучшее из всего что пробовал.

Now this, is the one you want!

Great extension! Thanks so much, i can now remove the useless native client that i was using before

Elegant solution.

To work with mpv:
1. Create a script with: mpv --playlist="$1"
2. Open the playlists through it: https://i.imgur.com/0klS12Z.png

unlike other plugins, it doesn't require a daemon

toll: not working with vlc
