A userscript for MPV that allows you to load the up next/recommened youtube video on the fly, as though you were using the web player.
Toggle the menu with ctrl+u (configurable). Select from the list with the arrow keys (configurable), and press enter (configurable) to select. Menu times out after 10 seconds (configurable.)
Copy youtube-upnext.lua into your scripts directory, e.g.:
cp youtube-upnext.lua ~/.config/mpv/scripts/
optional, copy the config file:
cp youtube-upnext.conf ~/.config/mpv/script-opts/
The location of the scripts directory on Windows is %APPDATA%\mpv\scripts e.g. C:\Users\cvzi\AppData\Roaming\mpv\scripts
Make sure you have GNU Wget installed. There are several websites that offer a binary release of wget for Windows e.g. here, it is also included in MingW and similar tools.
If you downloaded/installed the wget executable, you have to add the directory of the wget.exe toyour machine's %PATH.
Depending on your setup you may have to set check_certificate = false in the lua script or in the config file,
because some wget versions on Windows seem to have problems with HTTPS/SSL certificates.
The script folder for mpv.net is:
%APPDATA%\mpv.net\scripts
The .conf files belong into:
%APPDATA%\mpv.net\script-opts
The keyboard shortcut in the script and the .conf-file doesn't work with mpv.net.
You need to set the keyboard shortcut yourself in your input.conf. Default location is %APPDATA%\mpv.net\input.conf.
Add the following line to the end of your input.conf (change the key if it's already used):
Ctrl+u script-message-to youtube_upnext upnext-menu
- I pretty much copied the mpv-youtube-quality script and added wget
youtube-quality's Credit
- reload.lua, for the function to reload a video while preserving the playlist.
- mpv-playlistmanager, from which I ripped off much of the menu formatting config.
- ytdl_hook.lua, from which I ripped off much of the youtube-dl code to fetch the format list
- somebody on /mpv/ for the idea
