-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I do this:
Go to options > Document > URI Passing. Add, then title it something like stream-mplayer (do not use spaces). Edit the new entry you just made. Type mplayer %c into the Value box, hit OK, Save, and you're done. I haven't tried this with mplayer. Personally, I prefer mpv. This way, you simply press a key (see your keybinding for "pass URI of current link to external command") to select what to do with a highlighted link, and it will either do the only action available or show you a context menu of what to do with it. There are basically an unlimited variety of things you can do with URI passing, including copying the link's URL, or launching any other application. One of my personal favorites is opening a link in another browser, e.g. IceCat, for those occasions that I need to run JavaScript or the page's content won't display properly. When the command completes, sometimes the window looks garbled, but Ctrl-L fixes that easily.
