Play with MPV (Enhanced)

This is a powerful UserScript that integrates website videos with the MPV media player. It combines the best features of two original scripts and adds new functionalities for a seamless experience, allowing you to play web videos in your native player with customized settings.

Prerequisites & Installation

For this UserScript to work, you need three key components installed on your system.

Note: This userscript is not compatible with Greasemonkey v4.0+. Please use a manager like Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey.

1. Dependencies

mpv-handler mpv yt-dlp

For Windows Users: It is highly recommended to use shinchiro's mpv builds. These builds conveniently include both mpv and yt-dlp. After installing, remember to run updater.bat to get the latest versions.

2. UserScript

Install the "Play with MPV (Enhanced)" UserScript in Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey.

Core Features

  • Floating "Play" Button: A convenient button appears on supported video pages to instantly open the current video in MPV.
  • Direct Thumbnail Clicking: Click directly on video thumbnails on supported sites (like YouTube) to open them in MPV, bypassing the site's player.
  • Universal Context Menu: On any website not explicitly supported, you can Shift + Right-Click any link to open it with MPV.
  • Centralized Settings Panel: A single, easy-to-use panel to configure your MPV preferences (quality, profile, codec, etc.) for all playback methods.

Origin & Evolution

This script is a synergistic merger of two excellent original scripts, enhancing their features and creating a unified, more powerful tool.

Original Scripts

  1. "Play with MPV" by Akatsuki Rui

    • Functionality: Provided a floating "Play" button on video pages and a robust settings panel (GM_config) to customize MPV launch options. This formed the foundation for our script's configuration and on-page button.

  2. "Click on video thumbnail to play in MPV" by nSinister

    • Functionality: Introduced the intuitive feature of clicking directly on video thumbnails to launch them in MPV. It had hardcoded settings.

What's New in This "Enhanced" Version?

This version isn't just a simple combination; it's a complete refactor that improves upon the originals:

  • Unified Functionality: The thumbnail-clicking feature now respects the settings you choose in the configuration panel.
  • Persistent Settings Button: The settings icon is now accessible on all pages of the supported sites.
  • Universal Fallback Context Menu: Use Shift + Right-Click on a link on any site to get a "Play with MPV" option.
  • Smarter Page Detection: Uses MutationObserver to reliably detect new content.

How to Use

Basic Usage

1. The Floating Button

  • On a page with a video (e.g., a YouTube watch page), the MPV play icon will appear in the bottom-left corner.
  • Clicking it will immediately open the current page's video in MPV.

2. Clicking Thumbnails

  • On supported sites like YouTube, Vimeo, etc., simply click on any video thumbnail.
  • Instead of navigating to the video page, the script will intercept the click and open the video directly in MPV.

3. The Fallback Context Menu

  • This works on any site not listed in the main configuration (e.g., news sites, educational platforms, etc.).
  • Find a link to a video.
  • Hold down the Shift key and right-click the link.
  • A custom context menu will appear with the option "Play with MPV". Click it.
  • A normal right-click (without Shift) will show the browser's default context menu.

Advanced Configuration

You can access the settings panel to customize the script's behavior.

  • Access: On any of the supported sites (YouTube, Twitch, etc.), hover your mouse over the bottom-left corner of the screen. A settings gear icon will appear. Click it.

Here are the available options:

  • Try to Pass Cookies:

    • For advanced users to view member-only videos. Since userscripts cannot access HttpOnly cookies, you must export them manually using an extension like Get cookies.txt LOCALLY (Chromium) or cookies.txt (Firefox).
    • The exported cookies file must be named after the domain (e.g., www.youtube.com.txt) and placed in the correct directory:
      • Linux: $HOME/.config/mpv-handler/cookies/
      • Windows: (mpv-hander.exe parent folder)\cookies\

  • MPV Profile:

  • Video Quality:

  • Video Codec:

  • Run With Console:

    • yes: Runs mpv-handler with a console window to view output and errors.
    • no: Runs mpv-handler silently in the background.
