doesn't work with mpv on mac

neoromantique commented 6 years ago

I use this tool to launch stuff from youtube in mpv, it works great on Windows and Linux, but doesn't work on Chrome/Mac.

Open with Safari/Chrome works perfectly well.

Where can I find logs?

IINA is based on mpv. Though I'm using it in Firefox.

@JayBrown, thanks for the hint but no, it doesn't seem to work with mpv. The extension works fine with VLC, though.

It works for me on Firefox 72 with macOS 10.14 (and has been working with previous versions as well.) One possibility is that mpv isn't in PATH, at least as far as the open-with utility is concerned. You might try using the full path to mpv instead, e.g. /usr/local/bin/mpv Screen Shot 2020-01-15 at 19 29 21

@jgreco, thanks for your reply!

It seems that you have installed mpv via brew, right? I, on the other hand, just downloaded the app, and this seems to be the culprit, since for me

neither entering the full path (/Applications/mpv.app/Contents/MacOS/mpv);
nor using open -a mpv

does open mpv via Open With. While using the same two approaches with VLC succeeds in both cases.

Don't really know why is it possible... :)

EDIT: Just to clarify, running /Applications/mpv.app/Contents/MacOS/mpv <YOUTUBE-LINK> in the shell sure works.

EDIT 2: For the record, I even build MPlayer (yeah, that oldie) from the source, created this simple wrapper mplayer.sh:

#!/bin/sh

~/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl -o- "$1" | ~/usr/local/bin/mplayer -

added mplayer.sh's absolute path to Open With, and it worked :)

/Applications/mpv.app/Contents/MacOS/mpv-bundle %s
