Why would you need to add MPV to path?
1 project | /r/mpv | 6 Dec 2022

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

Can't update MPV Player and FFMPEG. E: The repository does not have a Release file.

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 still think this will remain human-made for the foreseeable future, as an AI will probably never be able to make the millisecond-precise segments that it currenty has
Suggestion: An AI could read the auto generated captions and determine when there is a interaction reminder/intro etc and automatically submit it.

It is already being done (for sponsor) https://github.com/andrewzlee/NeuralBlock , but automatically submitting it would be a bad idea ( risk of error and the timings aren't very good).
