Description

This userscript will allow you to open videos in external player mpv by simply clicking on a thumbnail without loading bloated video page with web player.

How it works

It simply replaces video thumbnail hyperlinks on a page, changing their protocol from https:// to mpv:// and coding the original URL as base64. The result string is then passed to mpv:// URI handler as base64 string.

Prerequisites in your system

Keep in mind that these instructions are valid for GNU/Linux operating system for now. If you are using proprietary Windows, you are on your own.

Supported sites

  • YouTube
  • Vimeo

Potentially it works with anything that mpv and its youtube-dl backend supports. But in order to add support for a certain website, one needs to find its DOM selector for site specific video thumnails and put it into the dictionary inside the userscript

Installation

  1. Install this script

GNU/Linux

$ mkdir -p ~/.local/bin/ && touch ~/.local/bin/mpv-url-handler.sh
$ chmod +x ~/.local/bin/mpv-url-handler.sh
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications && touch ~/.local/share/applications/mpv-url-handler.desktop

Edit file ~/.local/bin/mpv-url-handler.sh with a text editor, put the following contents

#!/bin/sh
mpv `echo -n $1 | sed 's/mpv:\/\///' | base64 --decode`

Edit file ~/.local/share/applications/mpv-url-handler.desktop


[Desktop Entry]

NoDisplay=true

Finally, register mpv URL handler for mpv://

$ xdg-mime default mpv-url-handler.desktop x-scheme-handler/mpv
