Perfect extension. Would be even more perfect if it implemented native hosts communication in a different version
No instructions on how to run the sever after install both here and on Github. I don't know how anyone got this to work.
I'm running linux with a Haswell GPU and hardware acceleration refuses to work in the browser, so I was suffering up to 250% CPU usage while watching videos. Even though I'm getting an error from play-with-mpv saying there's no support for codec vp9, the CPU has still come down to only about 40%. Awesome!
This extension helps a lot on systems where graphics acceleration does not work well in your browser.
Love this extension, the only thing I would like to see implemented is a way for it to launch the python server automatically so I don't have to do it in terminal every time.
Finally youtube with mpv without having to paste the link in terminal. Maybe it'd be cool to have this in right click menu for a link so you don't have to open the video in browser.
I made it, so i might be a little biased ^>^
