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
