Works perfect But the initial setup can be a lil problematic. Someone who isn't using git will get stuck at step #4. Without git installed: 1. Install MPV 2. Install python 3. Install chrome extension 4. Go to https://github.com/thann/play-with-mpv and download everthing by pressing "Code" [Green button] -> "Download ZIP" 5. Extract everything 6. Start server by running "play-with-mpv.py" 7. Reload any website for media playback / Restart browser The chrome extension has to be configured a... Show more

Cannot get it installed. Relevant message is (I think): Preparing metadata (setup.py): started Preparing metadata (setup.py): finished with status 'error' error: subprocess-exited-with-error × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully. Someone willing to clarify? Sorry, I don't have hours to debug this stuff.

Briliant! I love you! Love mpv and love youtube-dl! I love smart people! It resurrected my old laptop from the heavy and unsupported with VAAPI browsers. Moreover, it gives possibility to dirrect to the local network where the server is preinstalled and run mpv(SMplayer) with dedicated Raspberry Pi and a big screen for example. Why do I need to use bloatwared Chromecast further ... Wish you good health, happiness and success in your future endeavours!

Perfect extension. Would be even more perfect if it implemented native hosts communication in a different version

No instructions on how to run the sever after install both here and on Github. I don't know how anyone got this to work.

I'm running linux with a Haswell GPU and hardware acceleration refuses to work in the browser, so I was suffering up to 250% CPU usage while watching videos. Even though I'm getting an error from play-with-mpv saying there's no support for codec vp9, the CPU has still come down to only about 40%. Awesome!
