# open in mpv

A minimalist extension to open the current website or a link in mpv.

You only need to put a .desktop file to `~/.local/share/applications/mpv-scheme-handler.desktop`.

And if you don't have that file installed, you get a shell-script to put it into place.

No more "nothing happens" and no-one knows why! You still need to have mpv installed though.

> [!CAUTION]  

> Currently supported platforms: Linux only  

> Windows support is planned: [#11](https://github.com/binarynoise/open-in-mpv/issues/11)

Inspired by _Open In mpv_ by Leonardo and _ff2mpv_ by yossarian, which require additional binaries installed but don't tell you when they are missing.
