Release: 1.2.9

For installation instructions, follow the steps in the README.

Fixes

• Fixed a crash when using an mpv binary built from git master by hardcoding the mpv ipc command to --input-ipc-server.

Release: 1.2.8

For installation instructions, follow the steps in the README.

Changes

• Moved the installation scripts for Linux from two bash scripts to a Makefile.
  • This requires make to install the native host. Every Linux distribution has it installed though, so you should be fine.

Release: 1.2.7

For installation instructions, follow the steps in the README.

Fixes

• Fixed Windows builds of mpv crashing on quit.

Release: 1.2.6

For installation instructions, follow the steps in the README.

The changelog for the 1.2 major update can be viewed here. This version provides hotfixes that impaired the extension's functionality on Windows.

Fixes

• Fixed the extension hanging forever on Windows systems.
• Fixed the native host using an abnormally high amount of CPU usage on Windows systems.

Release: 1.2.4

For installation instructions, follow the steps in the README.

To use the new paywalled/private videos feature, you must be on Linux. Windows is currently unsupported due to outdated mpv versions. If you are on Linux, downgrade your youtube-dl to a version older than 2017.08.06. This is due to the same reason.

For Windows users, this version of this extension does not work and causes a surge of CPU usage in the native host. A hotfix is available in version 1.2.6.

Additions

• Added support for paywalled/private videos.
  • This includes examples such as private YouTube videos or Crunchyroll Premium content. No, this does not work with Netflix, and likely never will.
  • This only works with services that support authentication cookies. However, most services use cookies to authenticate, so this won't be much of an issue. If you come across a service that is supported by youtube-dl but will not load videos with this extension, please create an issue.
• Added a context menu when right-clicking on links.
• Added a timer icon so you know the extension is doing something when you press the extension icon.

Changes

• Reworked the majority of the extension and native host backend code. If there are any major issues you come across, please create an issue.

Release: 1.1.1
