 1 | # **copy-paste-url**
 2 | 
 3 | Like its name suggests - copy and paste links into mpv with `ctrl + v` to start playback of a video. This needs an open mpv window like `mpv --idle --force-window` or a window already playing a video. Also the script utilizes *powershell* (for windows) or *xclip* (for linux), so that needs to be installed as well.

 5 | ## Disclaimer

 7 | this is a *fork* of [copy-paste-URL](https://github.com/zenyd/mpv-scripts.git) that a add support for **LINUX**.
