These are a few of the reasons I've continued to use the "Open With" extension with mpv. ([right-click]->Open With->mpv) This provides full playback control, lets me toggle stay-on-top, etc. Firefox's PiP is a nice thought but just isn't right for me as currently implemented.

Sorry, which extension is this? The only one I was able to find named "Open With" is pretty clearly not what you were referring to.

    Oh, I know all about MPV. Invoking it cleanly from within Firefox is the part I was asking about (and which has been answered :)

samesame also; * rank up the cache settings in mpv to prebuffer the whole vid * see the ytdl-format setting in mpv.conf to select a codec that your machine can decode in hardware for enhanced power efficiancy (lower fanspeed)

if you like vim like keybindings courtesy of tridactyl bind V hint -W ! mpv to show a letter or letters adjacent to all links and open the one chosen in mpv. Normally most pages have few enough links visible that hints are either 1 or 2 characters. This means instead of picking up the mouse you can hit 3 keys.

  You can get most pages down to 1 character if you craft your own custom selector, e.g. https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/dc8919e7e65d5dfa2398a14a18a8563a742832c1/.tridactylrc#L58 https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/dc8919e7e65d5dfa... For the record we don't recommend piping straight to `!` as a malicious (and fairly Tridactyl specific) site could use it to execute whatever it wanted. We have a default bind for open in mpv that sanitises things - https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/dc8919e7e65d5dfa2398a14a18a8563a742832c1/src/lib/config.ts#L284 https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/dc8919e7e65d5dfa... using https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/dc8919e7e65d5dfa2398a14a18a8563a742832c1/src/lib/config.ts#L591 https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/dc8919e7e65d5dfa...

    Thanks. A question occurs to me shouldn't such sanitation be its own step in order to be generalized to anything that the user wants to run?

That's what I do as well, and it's fantastic. Bonus functionality: Get MPV to always open on the second screen fullscreen (if you have one) and have it be always-on-top, small and on the bottom right corner when non-fullscreen, so you can just press Esc on the full-screen mpv window and get a PiP-like window.
