About this extension

Video demo: https://youtu.be/NwOq3RuCd0k

This can be used, for example, to open video files or YouTube links in external video player like mpv, VLC, etc. You decide which app opens which URL.

It works using redirect to custom x-url2app:// protocol URL, which is then handled by user-defined protocol handler script.

See README for installation instructions.
