I used this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-with/ mpv can easily be configured to open full screen on a specific screen.
Thanks, I will take a look at that extension. After reading the documentation for mpv I found the options --screen= and --fs-screen= these are used for selecting a specific screen.
I feel like the first rule of youtube-dl is not to talk about youtube-dl. I keep expecting Google (and all the other sites it works on) to start taking active measures to disable it. At some point YouTube is going to require an EME module to play even "free" videos.
Not everyone has fast enough bandwidth to watch live videos. Many people rely on downloaders to actually watch the video.

While I agree with you in principle (and have used a very similar setup for many years), I don't think HN is pro-DRM/IP enough to worry. At some point YouTube is going to require an EME module to play even "free" videos. ...which will be cracked within days if not hours.
> which will be cracked within days if not hours. Netflix requires an EME module since quite some time, and I'm not aware of any successful cracks.
A few years ago I was surprised to see that Netflix in Chrome on Linux didn't prevent screen-capture. If I recall correctly, On Windows, it won't let you screenshot Netflix - you get a black box instead.
Failing that, it's possible to record high-quality analogue output from, say, a Playstation 3. Failing that, it's always possible to point a camera at a screen.
Piracy of video isn't something that technologies like EME can hope to eliminate entirely, they can only raise the bar. For Netflix, that's acceptable. They compete with BitTorrent piracy and win on convenience.

Youtube-dl has lots of GUI frontends and is embedded in easy to use Android apps.
I don't use the Play Store but a friend recently asked me for a youtube-dl frontend for Android (using other words), care to name some?

...and specify to only grab the videos as mp3's to download that perfect song/mix playlist!
Aspiring DJs do this, then play out the files they got from youtube-dl via Serato or whatever, then every other minimally competent DJ in the room immediately knows what’s happening based on how obviously shit it sounds. Practice mixing in headphones and playing room scale PA are two different ballgames, and when amplified, any youtube-dl format is as obvious to me as a file being ripped from source vinyl. YouTube do…
The most useful part of youtube-dl is that it works with mpv, so you just pass a URL on the command line and MPV just plays the video in it. I have two monitors, so I put a button on my Firefox toolbar to launch MPV with the current URL, and configured MPV to start fullscreen on the second monitor immediately and quit when done. It's made my video-watching experience on the web an order of magnitude better.
yup. you can a quick macro in qtebrowser as well. It gets rid of ads nicely too.

Depends what we mean by 'crack'. A few years ago I was surprised to see that Netflix in Chrome on Linux didn't prevent screen-capture.

Well, should we be listing the related Apps here? > the first rule of youtube-dl is not to talk about youtube-dl
But I agree that people might have mixed feelings on pointing to the ones that work better.
I made another search, through DuckDuckGo, and got a hit that's not among those ~40 and looks good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aviddapp.o...
Am I hurting them by linking, or any of you for adding feedback?
I presume this is only for the occasional thing that people are afraid will disappear from youtube or is there some other reason for downloading that I'm missing?
Also when watching a video, with mpv (which uses youtube-dl for youtube videos etc., I can pin a small video window on top of all other windows and continue doing other stuff on my laptop.
