I'd also like to point out that mpv has youtube-dl built-in (and can also use the cooler fork, yt-dlp). You can open YouTube links directly in mpv and they will play with no bullshit. It can even pull 4K streams.
There are browser plugins that let you open links directly in external programs like mpv, although they are a bit of a hassle to set up (especially if you are on Ubuntu with their godforsaken Snaps).
Also for anyone wondering how to set the default quality for videos.
Edit your
mpv.conf
and addytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]
to play all videos in 720p for example.Lemmy can't display some characters correctly. replace

Ooh, never heard of this before and it looks super cool. Thanks for the tip!
