Not only that, but there are very small extensions that place a button on your toolbar that will launch MPV with the current URL. It's the only way I watch YouTube nowadays, it always launches fullscreen on the second monitor and quits when the video is done.

It's such a small change, but has a very large impact on the quality of my video-watching experience, I couldn't believe it initially.

I wonder whether youtube-dl (which is what mpv uses to get audio/video over the web, I think) is going to get completely neutered by EME. Your setup is similar to how I use Youtube lately, and the recent progression of EME has got me worried that the setup won't be working for too much longer.

Is there any reason mpv couldn't stream encrypted video to the GPU? Or implement its own EME wrapper and use the same blob the browser uses?

Could you point to such an extension?
