How did you do that? I would really like to have that setup also.
- StavrosK 8y agoI used this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-with/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-with/ mpv can easily be configured to open full screen on a specific screen.
- efiecho 8y agoThanks, I will take a look at that extension. After reading the documentation for mpv I found the options --screen=<default|0-32> and --fs-screen=<all|current|0-32> these are used for selecting a specific screen.

- urmish 8y agoSo adding that button requires downloading and installing a file, and it has some references to openwith@darktrojan.net. I am not a web programmer but that doesn't seem right. The open with mpv browser extension, seems cleaner. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/send-to-mpv-player/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/send-to-mpv-p...
- StavrosK 8y agoYeah, it didn't look good. The extension you posted downloads and installs the native client on its own, which is worse. However, you can't really do this any better, as the apps are sandboxed and not allowed to launch external programs. I've audited the script for the extension I posted and it looks good, I've posted mine here: https://www.pastery.net/dyeamx/ https://www.pastery.net/dyeamx/
- urmish 8y agoyes. Seems you're right.
