External Player - Open yt videos in mpv

Unread post by dkeg » Sun May 10, 2015 1:15 am

I was perusing the Arch boards today in the contributor thread. I came across External Player for Firefox. Automatically opens youtube videos in mpv. Easy config, works great. Depends on youtube-dl and mpv.

Instructions are straight forward. Add a script to your $PATH and add the xpi from add-ons > search > hit the dropdown > choose to install from file.
