Regards,
There was a script+patch somewhere that would grab an embedded video and
play it with mplayer/mpv/... by pressing a shortcut defined in your
config.def.h of surf, and as long as you disable javascript and plugins,
surf won't play the video by itself.
I can't remember where I found it, but here's the code:
#define WATCH {.v = (char *[]){ /bin/sh, -c, \
st -e \
yt $(xprop -id $0 _SURF_URI | cut -d \\\ -f 2), \
winid, NULL } }
[...]
{ MODKEY, GDK_w, spawn, WATCH },
with yt being something like the attached script.
#!/bin/mksh
# format=-f34 # leave empty for default
player=mpv --quiet --geometry=50%:50% --keep-open
tmpdir=$HOME/yt
url=$1
filepath=$tmpdir/$(youtube-dl --id --get-filename $format $url)
youtube-dl -c -o $filepath $format $url
print $! $filepath.$$.pid
while [ ! -r $filepath ] [ ! -r $filepath.part ]; do
printf '%s' Waiting for youtube-dl...
sleep 3
done
[ -r $filepath.part ] $player $filepath.part || $player $filepath
kill $($filepath.$$.pid)
rm $filepath.$$.pid

There is a firefox plugin called mozplugger that does pretty much that. It'll select a program to display external content with based on its own config file, termcap, xdg-mime and alternatives[1], then launch that program and embed its window into firefox. [1] See, that's what happens when there is no standard. mozplugger has now 4 different ways of selecting an application, so if the choice it takes is the wrong one, good luck in figuring out how to change it.
