# mpv-handler setup
2026-03-26 03:26:37 -07:00
This folder contains the desktop playback helper assets used by API Media Player.
2026-03-26 03:26:37 -07:00
## What is in this folder
2026-03-26 03:26:37 -07:00
- `setup-mpv-handler.mjs`: cross-platform helper used by `npm run setup:mpv-handler`
- `install-mpv-handler.ps1`: Windows protocol registration script
- `uninstall-mpv-handler.ps1`: Windows protocol cleanup script
- `handler-install.bat` and `handler-uninstall.bat`: thin Windows wrappers for the PowerShell scripts
- `config.toml`: template used when the helper needs to create or refresh an `mpv-handler` config
- `mpv-handler.exe` and `mpv-handler-debug.exe`: bundled Windows handler binaries
2026-03-26 03:26:37 -07:00
## Recommended commands
2026-03-26 03:26:37 -07:00
### Windows
Run from an elevated PowerShell or Windows Terminal:
2026-03-26 03:26:37 -07:00
```bash
npm run setup:mpv-handler
2026-03-26 03:26:37 -07:00
```
Remove the registration later with:
```bash
npm run uninstall:mpv-handler
```
### Linux
1. Download and extract the upstream Linux release:
```text
https://github.com/akiirui/mpv-handler/releases/latest/download/mpv-handler-linux-amd64.zip
```
2. Point the helper at that extracted folder:
```bash
npm run setup:mpv-handler -- --root /path/to/extracted/mpv-handler-linux-amd64
```
The helper copies files into `~/.local/bin` and `~/.local/share/applications`, updates `config.toml`, and runs `xdg-mime` for both protocol handlers.
## Useful flags
```bash
npm run setup:mpv-handler -- --help
npm run setup:mpv-handler -- --root /path/to/mpv-handler
npm run setup:mpv-handler -- --mpv /path/to/mpv
npm run setup:mpv-handler -- --ytdl /path/to/yt-dlp
npm run setup:mpv-handler -- --skip-config
npm run setup:mpv-handler -- --dry-run
```
`--root` points at the extracted upstream `mpv-handler` folder. On Windows it is optional because this repo already ships the handler files under `scripts/`. On Linux it is normally required.
## What the helper does
### Windows
- finds the bundled handler files in this folder unless you override `--root`
- creates or updates `config.toml`
- tries to detect `mpv` and `yt-dlp` from `PATH`
- registers `mpv-handler://` and `mpv-handler-debug://` through the PowerShell installer
### Linux
- validates the extracted upstream release layout
- creates or updates `config.toml`
- copies the handler binary to `~/.local/bin/mpv-handler`
- copies the desktop entries to `~/.local/share/applications`
- rewrites `Exec=` entries to the installed absolute binary path
- runs `xdg-mime default ...` for both schemes
## Manual fallback
If you would rather install without the helper:
### Windows
```powershell
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install-mpv-handler.ps1 -InstallRoot .\scripts
```
### Linux
```bash
cp /path/to/mpv-handler/mpv-handler ~/.local/bin/mpv-handler
cp /path/to/mpv-handler/mpv-handler.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
cp /path/to/mpv-handler/mpv-handler-debug.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/mpv-handler
xdg-mime default mpv-handler.desktop x-scheme-handler/mpv-handler
xdg-mime default mpv-handler-debug.desktop x-scheme-handler/mpv-handler-debug
```
## Upstream project
Upstream `mpv-handler` releases and source:
```text
https://github.com/akiirui/mpv-handler
https://github.com/akiirui/mpv-handler/releases
```
This repo uses the upstream protocol scheme and binaries; the docs here only describe the setup flow for API Media Player.
