[cleverdevil] Howdy folks!
# [cleverdevil] So, I'm trying to write a userscript for Safari, anyone familiar with that process?
# 
tantek [cleverdevil]: pretty sure this works, and gets you something that works cross-browser too: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions
# [cleverdevil] So, its a pretty simple userscript that mostly works already.
# [cleverdevil] Basically, I want to rewrite all URLs on a page that reference YouTube to open MPV and play the YouTube video directly in the app.
# [cleverdevil] (This bypasses trackers, ads, and other crap)
# 
Loqi MVP is an abbreviation for minimum viable product, the concept and methodology of designing, developing, and deploying the smallest/simplest possible variant of a product as a first step to shipping, getting real world feedback, and iterating from there https://indieweb.org/MPV
# [cleverdevil] Hah.
# tantek.com deleted /MPV "only mistypo'd once, an apparently means something else"
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "MPV" yet. Would you like to create it?
# [cleverdevil] MPV is an open source, cross platform media player forked from MPlayer and can be found at https://mpv.io
# [cleverdevil] So, you can, in a terminal on macOS, launch MPV to play a YouTube video like this:
# [cleverdevil] $ open "mpv://https%3A//www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNr0JNwsLy8"
# [cleverdevil] Gotta get it working first ?
# [cleverdevil] When I create a link like this in Safari, it launches MPV, but doesn't play the video.
# [cleverdevil] If I do it in terminal, it works fine.
# [cleverdevil] Tried that ?

# tantek.com edited /Planning () "(-1834) /* NYC */ planning moved to specific page, since date/venue picking is done for this year" (view diff)
# [cleverdevil] Got it working, but had to run it through another app.
# [cleverdevil] I'll eventually polish it up and share.
# [cleverdevil] But, now, every link is rewritten to "youtube://", which opens this utility, when then routes the stream into MPV to play ad--free.
# [cleverdevil] It also detects if the current page is a youtube video, and does the same thing, in case a link comes in from elsewhere (like my Twitter client or an email).
