ff2mpv-rust

Native messaging host for ff2mpv written in Rust.

This is a native compiled binary, so it runs much faster and doesn't require external dependencies by itself, unlike Python and Ruby scripts.

What is this?

This is a script for hooking mpv and ff2mpv, that allows opening any video link in mpv straight from the browser.

Installation

First, install ff2mpv extension from AMO or Chrome Store.

After that get native messasing host manifest:

ff2mpv-rust manifest

Install it following manual installation instructions on ff2mpv wiki.

Configuration

On Linux configuration file is searched in such order:

  1. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ff2mpv-rust.json
  2. $HOME/.config/ff2mpv-rust.json
  3. /etc/ff2mpv-rust.json

On Windows configuration file should be placed at: %APPDATA%/ff2mpv-rust.json.

See example configuration.

Command line interface

ff2mpv-rust provides command line interface with following commands:

help: prints help message
manifest: prints manifest for browser configuration
validate: checks configration file for validity

Note that it won't fail on invalid commands, but instead assume it is called from browser, blocking the input.
