+# Behavior:
+# Userscript for qutebrowser which views the current web page in vlc using
+# sensible vlc-flags. While viewing the page in MPV, all <video>, <embed>,
+# and <object> tags in the original page are temporarily removed. Clicking on
+# such a removed video restores the respective video.
+#
+# In order to use this script, just start it using `spawn --userscript` from
+# qutebrowser. I recommend using an alias, e.g. put this in the
+# [alias]-section of qutebrowser.conf:
+#
+# vlc = spawn --userscript /path/to/view_in_vlc
