dipping into plex, using friends plex server to stream to my local monster 3080GTX laptop... i want upscaling from his 720p videos...
You could also use something like https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim

Plex IS getting worse and Im getting frustrated!
My best client experience is nvidia shield, and using plex-shim-mpv. It uses mpv as the client and supports every format I watch, specifically ASS subtitles for anime get direct played.

HDR on Plex windows client washed out
I found this thread: https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim/issues/31 It seems that changing the config to use http (insecured connection) may solve this issue. I have remote access enabled and I'm signed in to the Plex server, so maybe that's why I didn't have those issues.

Movie not filling the entire screen?
I just don't worry about it until I try and watch the movie and it has black bars, then I just use plex-mpv-shim to watch it, and handbrake it after.

Why does Plex still have no Linux support?
Have you tried this? I use it all the time when watching stuff on Plex. It direct plays every thing I have minus 4K. Note it doesn’t offer the Plex gui. Instead I used my phone to find what I wanted using the Plex app and then cast it to the player

having issues with video, Manjaro KDE
The plex experience in a browser was never great for me, whether it was transcoding or subtitles. Once I started using plex-mpv-shim, all those problems went away and it's a fast and seamless experience with directplay every time.

Twitch CEO Emmett Shear is resigning
FWIW there is a GitHub repo [0] which keeps track of currently-working ways to block Twich ads. If you don't need chat, ff2mpv [1] can be used to send streams directly to MPV by right clicking on them in the browser. This bypasses the entire proprietary Twitch frontend and displays a silent purple screen during ad breaks.

query regarding streaming YT with MPV
Unfortunately this won't work with the extension playwithmpv unless you modify the python server to launch a different command. I personally use ff2mpv and I modified the python code of the backend to make this change. If you are interested, this is what I changed on ff2mpv:
-
LPT: Open VLC and drag a youtube link to it. It'll play in VLC (with all the capabilities of VLC), and it'll skip ads.
There are also browser extensions that add a toolbar button and a link context menu option to automatically open videos from quite a number of popular sites in MPV. I'm using ff2mpv. It only took a minute to set up.
-
The config I wanted to share with everybody who is using different commands every time they are trying to download videos.
You can use a browser extension like ff2mpv to send the urls directly from your browser (so no need to type into the terminal). This works not only in youtube but in many sites as yt-dlp has support for multiple pages.

How can i stop YouTube on Firefox from using all my cpu on Arch
If Firefox still uses too much CPU, then I recommend ff2mpv -- It does require changing your habits a bit, like blocking autoplay and clicking ff2mpv to launch the video in mpv when you're ready to watch, but it is well worth it.
