Automatically redirect to mpv player when playing online video.

Installation / Usage

1. install auto-play-in-mpv: pipx install auto-play-in-mpv, start as apim.
2. install tampermonkey in your browser
3. install the script from greasyfork
4. just click a video from supported sites.

mpv config

Note that this is just my config example. You may need to change some settings.

Autostart server

It's better to start the websocket server automatically at startup.

• On general platforms: please use my another script user-startup-py!
• On NixOS: Add this to your configuration.nix

  systemd.user.services.apim = {
    enable = true;
    description = "Open online video in local mpv player";
    script = "~/.local/bin/apim";
    wantedBy = [ "default.target" ];
    path = with pkgs; [
      mpv
      yt-dlp
      kdePackages.kwallet
    ];
  };
  # do not forget to add your current user to some groups
  users.users.<your_user_name> = {
    isNormalUser = true;
    extraGroups = [
      "wheel"
      "networkmanager"
      "video"
      "render"
      "audio"
    ];
  };
