google-chrome not working

Firefox can call mpv to play videos, but it cannot work using google-chrome, and there is no error message in the console.

Looks like Chromium browsers require the chrome-extension:// to end with the leading slash, can you try adding it manually and testing again?

Adding '/' at the end still doesn't work.

Can you paste the contents of the manifest as is here in the code blocks?

Could you provide some more information? What distribution you are trying this on, what Chrome version and does this work with the original native client?

ArchLinux(Hyprland)
Chrome: 123.0.6312.122-1
mpv: 1:0.37.0-3

I based on FF2MPV Installation and Google's documentation Configuration ff2mpv.json. No other native client can test.

Looks like AUR package also writes manifest in /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/ff2mpv.json, maybe Chrome is picking up that instead of the one in your home directory? Try editing it.

Chrome made a copy of it myself, but I didn't create it.

I would suggest trying with the original manifest and see if it works first, should be ff2mpv-native-messaging-host-git in AUR

Google Chrome's problem, chromium work, and lack of / at the end.

You mean the problem is with your Chrome installation? The only issue that I can reproduce is the lack of leading slash there. Does it work correctly on both browsers after adding it?

Chrome still not working. Chromium works.

I tried changing the path to /usr/bin/kitty and successfully started kitty, which proves that Chrome’s NativeMessagingHosts configuration is correct.
