# mpv handler

A protocol handler for **mpv**, written by Rust.

Use **mpv** and **yt-dlp** to play video and music from the websites.

Please use it with userscript:

[![play-with-mpv][badges-play-with-mpv]][greasyfork-play-with-mpv]

## Breaking changes

### [v0.4.0][v0.4.0]

To avoid conflicts with the `mpv://` protocol provided by mpv.

> mpv://...
>
> mpv protocol. This is used for starting mpv from URL handler. The protocol is stripped and the rest is passed to the player as a normal open argument. Only safe network protocols are allowed to be opened this way.

Scheme `mpv://` and `mpv-debug://` are deprecated, use `mpv-handler://` and `mpv-handler-debug://`.

**Require manual intervention**

#### Windows

Run `handler-uninstall.bat` to uninstall deprecated protocol, and run `handler-install.bat` to install new procotol.

#### Linux

If you installed manually, please repeat the manual installation process.

## Protocol

![](share/proto.png)

### Scheme

- `mpv-handler`: Run mpv-handler without console window
- `mpv-handler-debug`: Run mpv-handler with console window to view outputs and errors

### Plugins

- `play`: Use mpv player to play video

### Encoded Data

Use [URL-safe base64][rfc-base64-url] to encode the URL or TITLE.

Replace `/` to `_`, `+` to `-` and remove padding `=`.

Example (JavaScript):

```javascript
let data = btoa("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggkn2f5e-IU");
let safe = data.replace(/\//g, "_").replace(/\+/g, "-").replace(/\=/g, "");
```

### Parameters (Optional)

```
cookies  = [ www.domain.com.txt ]
profile  = [ default, low-latency, etc... ]
quality  = [ 2160p, 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p ]
v_codec  = [ av01, vp9, h265, h264 ]
v_title  = [ Encoded Title ]
subfile  = [ Encoded URL ]
startat  = [ Seconds (float) ]
referrer = [ Encoded URL ]
```
