- When playing in my browser it takes a lot more resources as when playing with mpv.
- I want to play the videos in a higher speed. But the speed is depending on the type of video.
- I prefer the interface of mpv.
- Fetch values for speed for the keys 1-0 out of SQLite database.
- Display the speeds.
- Enter loop
- Ask for URL while also displaying current speed.
- If it is #q quit.
- If it is 1-0 set new speed.
- If it is speeds display speeds.
- If it is a valid YouTube URL call mpv with it and the correct speed.
- Otherwise give an error message.
- The value of the URL will be fetched from the clipboard.
- Starting is done by the keys 1 to 0.

CREATE TABLE playYouTubeVideo ( key TEXT NOT NULL, speed FLOAT NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT key CHECK(length(key) == 1), CONSTRAINT speed CHECK(TYPEOF(speed) = "real"), PRIMARY KEY(key) );At the moment I use the keys 1-0. All ten keys have to appear in the database. The values for speed also have to be reals: so use 1.0 instead of 1.
As always: comments, tips and questions are appreciated.DDG Very interesting. As mpv supports like mplayer the --wid option for embedding, you might be use my SnitMPlayer as a starting point for a graphical version. Please note, that mplayers slave mode was however replaced with JSON IPC See https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/ipc.rstCecilWesterhof That was not exactly what I was thinking, it is more that I thought a graphical interface has some benefits. But it is less important now: the changes I did to the command line version implement most of what I wanted for the graphical version. It would still be better, but not as much as with the original version.DDG Anyway, inspired I just added youtube support to my SnitMPlayer. It uses youtube-dl commandline application in the background to retrieve the real video url.
