view_in_mpv

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Behavior:
#   Userscript for qutebrowser which views the current web page in mpv using
#   sensible mpv-flags. While viewing the page in MPV, all <video>, <embed>,
#   and <object> tags in the original page are temporarily removed. Clicking on
#   such a removed video restores the respective video.
#
#   In order to use this script, just start it using `spawn --userscript` from
#   qutebrowser. I recommend using an alias, e.g. put this in the
#   [alias]-section of qutebrowser.conf:
#
#     mpv = spawn --userscript /path/to/view_in_mpv
#
# Background:
#   Most of my machines are too slow to play youtube videos using html5, but
#   they work fine in mpv (and mpv has further advantages like video scaling,
#   etc). Of course, I don't want the video to be played (or even to be
#   downloaded) twice — in MPV and in qwebkit. So I often close the tab after
#   opening it in mpv. However, I actually want to keep the rest of the page
#   (comments and video suggestions), i.e. only the videos should disappear
#   when mpv is started. And that's precisely what the present script does.
