antoniy / mpv-youtube-dl-binding Goto Github PK

I really don't get how to install it, it's not as simple as "installing a firefox addon"..

I've installed 0.1.0 alpha 3 addon from amo.

Then in the addon's options, "Native player location",
i've added:
C:\Program Files\Mpv\

Which is the folder that contains:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/32bit/mpv-i686-20171216-git-e1ac0c1.7z/download unzipped..

Then i clicked on a videolink on youtube, nothing started, what am i missing ?

Also, could you give me a parameter that makes
mpv Automatically start without having to right click on a page,
ONLY if html cannot play the file ? "additional player parameters"

& if it's not possible yet, second choice: make all medias managed
by mpv instead of html IF mpv's not HEAVIER than html in my firefox.

cause the heavier firefox was by playing more & more videos, the faster
my browser crashed till today..

can you change the video quality ? i have a slow internet and im used to watching youtube in 480p,

"Not available for your platform" - for FreeBSD at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/watch-with-mpv/

I'm install manually from here, change path to /usr/local/bin/mpv and all works fine.
Please, fix platform requirements on mozilla addons site.

Hello ,

someone please explain why this would not function on the Mac OS but instead yes on Linux computers (same Browser, youtube-dl and mpv installed on both computer).

thank you very much.

alt+click doesn't work on the firefox signed version. It works on the github version.Can you get the github version signed?

The ability to add youtube-dl options would be nice. You've got player parameters, youtube-dl parameters would be great. Fantastic add on, by the way - 5 stars.

youtube-dl is still working well but in the past few days this wonderful little add-on does nothing. I'm on an up to date Arch install and can't find anything of relevance in var/log. Happy to give more info but not sure where to start.

I edit the options to use vlc at '/usr/bin/vlc'. When using it, the player opens up, plays video very briefly and then closes.

Hi,

mpv v0.1.0-alpha.3.1-signed is disabled by Firefox v43.0 when installed systemwide (i.e. in /usr/lib/firefox/browser/extensions/)

Can you fix this ?

If not I'll sign my fork to Mozilla.

Hi, did you plan to support new firefox ?

Hello ,

i use this extension with mpv provided by MacPorts on Osx .
Have noticed that the latest versions of mpv provided do break the compatibility with this extension; when i use an older "backup" version (built for osx lion) , it would work.
don't know really where the problem lies (if with mpv, youtube-dl or ffmpeg?) - but maybe you can offer some rough indication?
(the file "mpv" is located /opt/local/bin/mpv , as is "youtube-dl"; both are being provided by macports)

thank you very much for this great extension, is really helpful.

Hello, I already posted and issue on the youtube-dl issue tracker and it seems that 4K streaming can not be done with it ytdl-org/youtube-dl#6642 (comment) (even though I can perfectly get it to work with MPV with the command below)

mpv --ytdl-format="bestvideo+bestaudio" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6kIwfEGLO4

Is it possible to forward the parameters to MPV in this fashion to solve this issue?

I wonder if its possible to make shortcut like this:
I hold alt key (for example) + click on link and automatically run mpv and prevent default follow the link, so i dont need to right click + mpv

When there's an available 480p quality youtube video, can you please add an option to download and convert that automatically with youtube-dl (using ffmpeg), and save it as an 854x480 AVC video with 128 kbps AAC audio MP4 file? Also, please add the option to automatically download and convert any available resolution DASH format AVC video with AAC audio as an MP4 file. Thanks.

Can you add a preference to have the addon automatically launch mpv when clicking on an mpv link?

My use-case is I have a bunch of .mkv files on a webserver on my lan. I'd like to be able to simply click on the link and have it open in mpv rather than right-click, scroll to the bottom of the dialog box and then click on the Watch with MPV option.

If a youtube page/link is suffixed with &index=1&list=WL this plugin won't work, removing it and it works again.
Running mpv with the suffix works fine, so there must be something with this plugin.

Example links:

Version: 0.1.0-alpha.3.1-signed

it doesn't work on Mac OS X

This repo seems to lack a license. I suggest GPLv3 :)

Hello, is it possible to release a chrome extension? :)
Wit best regards.

Hi,

I use xclip and xbindkeys to create a playlist and play it through mpv. It allows using mpv like autoplaying function of youtube.com.

"DISPLAY=:0 curl -s $(xclip -o) | grep 'watch?v=' | cut -d'"' -f2 | grep 'watch?v=' | uniq | sed 's-/watch-http://www.youtube.com/-' > ~/movs/youtube/tmp && mpv --playlist ~/movs/youtube/tmp

But it's boring to select url before making key combination. With your plugin, i could just load url, and clic on the plugin button.

For that, i need to be able to paste that line in your plugin conf

"DISPLAY=:0 curl -s $(%url) | grep 'watch?v=' | cut -d'"' -f2 | grep 'watch?v=' | uniq | sed 's-/watch-http://www.youtube.com/-' > ~/movs/youtube/tmp && mpv --playlist ~/movs/youtube/tmp

Or something like that.

Is it possible to set a variable with current youtube url ?

Thx, bye

Hi,

I have been using this wonderful addon for a few months now and it has been great. However I would like to make a feature request. mpv addon works for a lot of sites but not all, it would be great if there is notification if it encounters a site where it cannot play the video for lacking youtube-dl support. I am asking this because sometimes mpv addon doesn't kick in immediately on sites where it does work, so one has to may be wait a little. It is therefore desirable to have a way to tell users to stop waiting on sites where it doesn't work.

Thanks a lot for this great addon!

Hello, are there any information regarding e10s compatibility? On http://arewee10syet.com/ this add-on is marked as "unknown".

Doesn't work on Windows 10.

Been using this for years on Linux and its ruined me. not having it on windows is sadness.

Probably you wont fix but i can dream.

As an aside, thanks so much for making this either way. Its my favorite must-have extension.

I would like to see support for Pale Moon. :)

Extension incompatible with Firefox multiprocess. You can check it using Add-on Compatibility Reporter.
Update on Compatibility Milestones:

Firefox won’t run in multiprocess mode unless all enabled add-ons have the multiprocessCompatible flag set to true or are WebExtensions. This means that developers who haven’t set this flag don’t have to worry about multiprocess compatibility and can focus on WebExtensions and the Firefox 57 deadline.

Just wondering if this works at all on Windows.

I tried setting the path to file:///C:/Users/Person/mpv.exe - which is my location for mpv but this did not work, nor did lobbing off file:///, C:/, and .exe in various ways.

Nightly 64-bit 42a1 on Windows 7 64-bit.

The default path I saw was for Linux systems but I'm hoping there is some possible support on Windows.

I use binaries provided from http://mpv.srsfckn.biz/

Hi,

I'm running Debian unstable with iceweasel 44.0. On my terminal, playing youtube videos with mpv works perfectly well. But after having installed this addon in a fresh profile, right clicking on a video link on youtube.com and choosing "Watch with MPV" nothing happens.

Could you give me instructions of how I can debug this problem?

Thanks!

FireFox 43.0
Version 0.1.0-alpha.3.1-signed

UPD.
Sorry. I was using youtube-dl 2015.12.09, update to the newer version fix the issue.

Hi,

If I add the the mpv option

--ytdl-format="bestvideo[ext=mp4][width <= 1920][height <=1080]"+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best

to Preferences > Additional player parameters then mpv-addon no longer starts

But it works as expected for mpv from the terminal and smtube http://smtube.sourceforge.net/

If I remove the limit to resolution and just add this then mpv-addon works as expected

--ytdl-format=bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best

I am trying to get mpv to show dash videos in mp4 instead of webm since hardware decoding doesn't work on the later and in addition to limit the resolution of bestvideo because some Youtube videos have resolution higher than 1080p which the machine cannot handle (high cpu usage and screen resolution not high enough to display anyway)

Thanks for the great addon!

Great work.....

I made some changes using this repository and IsSuEat's open-livestreamer-firefox-addon to enable format selection.

Please let me know your feedback.

Sorry for the unclear title, but I am not sure what else to name this issue.

I'm running Gentoo 64-bit and I have the following programs (all in $PATH):

• firefox: 38.5
• youtube-dl: 2016.01.27 (but it was also not working with older versions)
• mpv: 0.9.2

So far I have found those things to work just fine from the terminal:

• Downloading a video with youtube-dl

  $ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx_vWkv50uk

• Playing the downloaded video with mpv

• Playing the video directly through mpv

  $ mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx_vWkv50uk

Yet clicking the button in Firefox does nothing. mpv is located at /usr/bin/mpv (as is the default setting) and I haven't added any other settings in the preferences window.

Any ideas?

mpv has an easy option to disable video and just play audio, it would be great if that were a quick way to choose that from this plugin, alternatively, youtube-dl has -x which extracts just the audio, so either way…

(alternatively, maybe someone knows if video can be disabled after it's already playing in mpv, leaving just audio…)

For those who have a sometimes slow/unreliable internet connection, streaming is not a good choice. An option to allow youtube-dl to download/cache the entire video before opening it with mpv would be nice.

I use your addon on windows and it works (tried bomi (mpv-based player) and mpv), but only if you have youtube-dl in the same folder with player. It means you should have as many copies of youtube-dl as players. Also, players often installed in Program Files and users cannot write into it, so to update youtube-dl you have to run it as Administrator or copy it to other location.

If I am using this plugin with mpv and play a video my systemd journal gets obliterated with mpv log messages like this:

firefox.desktop[6542]: AV: 00:00:11 / 00:01:44 (10%) A-V: 0.000 Cache: 10s+10KB

I get about 20 messages like this per second. If I use --quiet under additional player options the problem is gone.

I am using version 0.1.alpha2.1 of this plugin.
Thanks for your hard work!

I'm looking for a way to save the streamed videos.
It would be nice if there is an option to download or save the played videos using youtube-dl.
AFAIK, save or record streamed media is not implemented in mpv-player/mpv#2988, but is it possible to work around it and pass the video url to youtube-dl to download it in the background .

Great extension! Thank you.
