I'm trying to run this using python for the first time for the occasion and I encountered this error

You could open mpv quicker in command line or terminal if you added it to PATH. It's also required for extensions like play-with-mpv

When i run sudo apt install ffmpeg, it says i already have the most recent version of FFMPEG installed. But i know FFMPEG is already on version 4.4. How do i solve these issues? I got this MPV PPA from installing the Play With MPV chrome extention from here: https://github.com/Thann/play-with-mpv

Hi, it's me again, the guy wanting to enable hardware acceleration for video playblack on web browsers. All of that led me to a deep rabbit hole about how Linux lacks support for GPU acceleration for things like YouTube. After discovering Gnome Web + Gstream plugins doesn't fully offload the decoding to the GPU, i gave up and tried to install the Play With MPV chrome extention on my Google Chrome. I followed all the steps described here in the GitHub: https://github.com/Thann/play-with-mpv

i have tried to get help by posting at reddit and at github issues but no help till now.

Firefox &/or LibreFox

Librefox[1] is a drop in replacement without the antifeatures.

See https://github.com/intika/Librefox/issues/43.

Librefox hasn't been updated since 2018, you shouldn't use it.

Librefox has not received an update since December 2018, you are recommending an outdated browser.

A terrible recommendation, Librefox has not received any new updates since December 2018.

I fear this will suffer the same fate as many other privacy "forks". I'll still give it a try.

They clearly mention the reasons in a Gitlab issue.
