Notes

This script uses the Linux xclip utility to read from the clipboard. If you're on macOS or Windows, you'll need to adjust the clipboard_command config variable in mpv-youtube-queue.conf
When adding videos to the queue, the script fetches the video name using yt-dlp. Ensure you have yt-dlp installed and in your PATH.

This script requires the following software to be installed on the system

Copy the mpv-youtube-queue.lua script to your ~~/scripts directory (~/.config/mpv on Linux)
