current solution to adblock:
- use youtube site directly as a front end
- Context Command EXecutor extension to open context menu
- open in mpv
still feeling out invidious, but yeah we'll see. wild that my phone is better for ads atm
CCEX: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...
if you use a firefox fork remember to symlink native-messaging-hosts: gitlab.com/NamingThings...
about:addons > ccex > preferences
also if you wanna use flags like --auto-window-resize=no make sure your mpv is updated, some distros' packages are out of date (mine was)
mpv.io/installation/
fruit.je/apt
idk why i started writing this as a how-to guide in the second person lmfao
the sponsorblock script is cool github.com/po5/mpv_spon...
still have to worry about setting playback speed too high for the streaming rate. if i just care about audio --no-video is great, but i wonder if there's a good way to switch up the resolution on the fly
this seems to work for now to stop 4k:
ytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=?1080][fps<=?60][vcodec!=?vp9]+bestaudio/best
mpv.io/manual/maste...
and i can just add more presets for 720p or lower, as i expected there's no way to change resolution once the file is loaded
