I often use mpv with a yt-dlp hook, which means I can basically just do ``mpv youtube.com/watch/whatever``, and stream the video in mpv.

  I love that, but lately it seems to freeze a few seconds into the video.

    Setting a lower resolution format via "ytdl-format=..." in the mpv.conf file may resolve that. Personally I also use "pause=yes" and find that the few extra seconds it has to cache also helps.

      I'll try that, thanks!

  Cool! > mpv with a yt-dlp hook What does hook mean in this context? Is it some kind of plugin or addon to MPV or can MPV do that out-of-the-box?

    As far as I know, it worked out of the box for me after installing both mpv and yt-dlp on Arch linux.
