openwith VS mpv

This addon on has died with the latest FF update and the developer has stopped maintaining since Dec 22.GitHub

google removed it from the store.

For example, I depend heavily on "Open With". This project is not maintained any more, but the extension still works well now.

Get the Open With extension: https://github.com/darktrojan/openwith

Here are open source Bumpr alternatives for Windows: - BrowserPicker - BrowserSelector - Open With for Firefox

INDEED! https://github.com/darktrojan/openwith/issues/332

"This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing."

Hm, well I'm sure it's by a well-known and trustworthy author.

"The source for this add-on is at https://github.com/darktrojan/openwith."

Dark Trojan. Sounds legit.

With the help of e.g. the "Open With" extension, you can have it in the right-click menu of your browser. :)

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Author of ripgrep here.

Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?

Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.

Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.

Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.

ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:

* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)

* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.

Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
