macOS Setup with mpv

[b1n4ry5010]

Hi, not really an 'idea' but just a tip when it comes to using Feishin on macOS.

The web player works out of the box, but in order to use mpv you will have to do the following:

1. Remove the .app extension from the mpv application, turning it into a browsable folder
2. In Settings > Playback, set MPV Executable Path to the mpv Unix Executable (Contents > MacOS > mpv)

This wasn't immediately clear to me, so maybe should be included somewhere in the readme?

Wow thank you this helped a lot! I still had to figure out how to get the mpv files out of quarantine too.

I installed the mpv.app to Applications, as normal, then launched it from finder via right click - open and then giving permission in the dialog.

Then, I added a symlink from /usr/local/bin to the binary in the app bundle like this:
ln -s /Applications/mpv.app/Contents/MacOS/mpv /usr/local/bin/mpv

Wow, it is amazing! It works for me. Thank you, bro.
I have tried brew install mpv, but it failed. Your method is smart and awesome!
