Stream magnet from firefox/chrome context menu

[Jerrk]

In windows cmd peerflix "magnetlink" --mpv works as it should and works great, i was wondering if there is a way to bypass copying magnet link -> open cmd -> type in peerflix "" --mpv, and then pasting the magnet link in the quotes.

Would it be possible to just add a context menu option in the browser to just skip these steps, and if so - how?

edit:
What i want to be done looks like it's possible with Play with MPV (Chrome) or Send to MPV player (Firefox) in conjunction with the mpv-peerflix-hook lua script. I'm just having issues with the lua script right now and waiting for a response from the dev.

You could just use Powder Web:
https://github.com/jaruba/PowderWeb

It's a hobby project of mine, based on peerflix (highly customised version), you can then associate the app with magnet links, and the default video player will start (unless u choose a different video player in the settings) when u press magnet links in any browser.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like that would work for my use-case, i associate all .torrent and magnet links to deluge for full downloading and i would only occasionally use peerflix, so it's not something i would want to make as default behavior on a left click 😞

I use torrents mostly for media, and I associate only magnet links with Powder Web, and torrent files with a different torrent client. So for media I just press the magnet links, for anything else I use the torrent file.

Alternatively, u will need to code 2 browser addons (one for chrome and one for firefox), if u want context menu options that open peerflix directly like u said. And this might be a seriously lengthy task for u.

Hmm that does look like something i would be willing to try if my current plan doesnt pan out

While that is ongoing ill def try out PowderWeb 😃

I use the External Application Button extension in chrome, most external running command extensions broke when chrome stoped supporting NPAPI plugins. but this extension bypasses that by running a client on your computer that grabs external run commands you make.

Hi! I made a project that does exactly this! At least on chrome with VLC, but feel free to contribute!:
