asdko13roasion Language Learning with Netflix extension

mpv is so great. It was an immense downgrade to start watching movies on my ps4 with media player, netflix, plex etc. They(mostly media player) have issues on the very basics like pausing and playing video, subtitles, continue watching etc.

With a computer running mpv and plugged into the TV everything just works and I can trivially fix common issues like subtitle/audio sync with my phone as the remote.

On-topic: mpv seems to have a similar language learning extension to OP https://github.com/oltodosel/interSubs

The use case of PiP is legit but I agree it doesn't make a lot of sense for the browser. However, many users do not have proper native media players that would provide the same functionality so I can see why browsers might want to implement it for the casual users.

A native media player with youtube-dl is still king for power users.
