mpv-youtube-quality VS mpv_sponsorblock

Every other script has dropped in and works instantly other than this one, no matter what I do the menu never loadsm or gives any indication of loading. The old, outdated youtube quality script loads, but presumably because of changes to youtube it fails fetching the list of formats. The menu does still show up.

acompressor.lua: compressor. blur-edges.lua: fills the black bars on the side of a video with a blurred copy of its edges. createchapter.lua: self-explanatory. crop.lua: crop video in a visual manner. encode.lua: make an extract of the video currently playing using ffmpeg. reload.lua: reloads videos if an online video stops caching. seek-to.lua: go to timestamp. simplehistory.lua: stores whatever you open in a history file. skiptosilence.lua: skip past "previously on...". smartcopypaste_ii.lua: copy/paste links sponsorblock.lua: skip sponsors in yt videos. streamsave.lua: save looped section to a separate file. subit.lua: download subtitles to playing video. uosc.lua: feature-rich minimalist proximity-based ui (my fav!). webm.lua: similar to encode.lua but with more features and no external dependencies. webtorrent-mpv-hook: enable mpv to stream torrents using webtorrent. youtube-quality.lua: change quality of currently playing yt video.

is possible to make "mpv-youtube-quality script"work with other sites

Hello, i got this script (https://github.com/jgreco/mpv-youtube-quality) and it was working with youtube-dl but youtube-dl was buffering a lot so i changed to yt-dlp, yt-dlp doesn't buffer at all but the script to control the quality of the video does not work!

Only way I can think of would be to use a MPV plugin like https://github.com/jgreco/mpv-youtube-quality. Only problem is, I don't think I know how to properly install MPV Plugins in Celluloid, because past attempts have done nothing. I tried using the Preferences dialog to add plugins, I check them, they're technically "installed" as far as Celluloid seems to be concerned, but they do nothing.

Inside the mpv.conf, it reads: "#not needed, only here to overwrite repo installed file which enabled vaapi by default". What does this mean? It is also a read-only file. Why is it "not needed" and why can't I write anything inside it? I wanted to try some scripts like: https://github.com/jgreco/mpv-youtube-quality or https://github.com/TheAMM/mpv_thumbnail_script which need mpv.conf to be modified. Any help? Thank you.

I want to ask if someone can add yt-dl cookies option and also to add format code name to this Script. cuz for premium contents on streaming sites requires a cookie.txt otherwise yt-dl fails to fetching formats so I did want to ask since Im noob if someone else could add this feature to the script.

mpv_sponsorblock

Personally, it's not really any better than mpv filters like NIS [0] (Nvidia Image Scaling, which does not use AI but is somehow more sharp than these filters) as well as Anime4k [1] (which does use AI but only in the training phase to create the initial glsl file which then does not use AI inferencing but plain old image filters).

Combine mpv with its yt-dlp [2] and SponsorBlock support [3] and you have a competent way to upscale your own YouTube (and other types of [4]) videos.

You might also want to grab the Sponsor block MPV script which will automatically skip/bypass ads.

It still isn't perfect though. Scripts like mpv-sponsorblock won't work if you play a video this way.

I started using SB with the Firefox extension, then eventually moved to FreeTube and then to MPV. I copied my user ID and display name to the MPV script that is responsible for skipping and submitting. When I close MPV and reopen the same video - my segment is skipped. Now, when I go to the extension to check my work - it still shows submissions while I was using the extension, not the ones from MPV. Also, when I open a YT video in the browser that has a segment submitted by me - it doesn't skip. With this one I might need to wait 6 hours (script default time to refresh SB database) or edit the script.
