| Just my 2 cents: I've been using a combination of firefox/chrome with youtube-dl/mpv+youtube-dl for a while This comes very handy for playing high quality youtube videos on low end machines or downloading audio+/-video directly from youtube. On the pre-webextension era of firefox/chrome , "open with" addon was the perfect fit. Now, a special native messaging app needs to be installed to launch mpv/youtube-dl "Open with" addon solved this by a python script (that obviously required installing python, and few other steps) I decided to create a new tool to make this step easier and faster on windows: owclauncher[1] Basically a lightweight native messaging host for "open with" addon: it is not running on the background, and only started (and immediatly terminated) by the browser when passing a command to any other program You can check and compile the source code or the .bat windows installer/uninstaller [1] https://github.com/mbooga/owclauncher |
