drop url from youtube to be played in mpv (gui)
Handy gui droplet for droping urls/files to mpv playlist. More than 30 minutes in making and more than 5 days in testing now. Especially nice to overcome some chrome/chromium shift+drop trouble.

Neat!
Does just what it says.
What was it you couldn't do on Chromium? (I use Firefox.)

Re: drop url from youtube to be played in mpv (gui)
I particularly like the history future.
But since 99% of these URLs are copied from my main browser, I don't have much need for it, because of the glorious Open with addon (also available for chrom* iirc). I could simply point it to mpv, but I have a custom script for that. I might add the history functionality to it.

@johnraff; Shift + drag and drop from youtube to mpv does add url to playlist with ff, doesn't seem to work with chrome (it will override currently playing clip).

So it does! I've never thought to do that, but it would save you from having to keep a bunch of tabs open I guess. You can drag links straight out of a forum post too. I usually have Fx maximized though, so it's a little bit messy having to go down to tint2 midway to find mpv. Your app scores there because it's always on top.

Re: drop url from youtube to be played in mpv (gui)
I wonder if it's possible to use part of tint2 as dropable thingy?
Btw there is slight concept of 'session' going on here, like 'session' is active until that pipe-controled-mpv instance is opened, on the other hand one can close and reopen the drop as needed (will still be the same session).

@misko_2083; Have some example(s) of the ones that don't?
