like so:

ln -sr ~/.config/mpv/input.conf ~/.config/mps-youtube/mpv-input.conf

2. Install yewtube with mpris extra

pipx install 'yewtube[mpris]'

# or

pip install 'yewtube[mpris]'

3. check yewtube version

yt --version

yewtube version    : 2.8.2

Machine type       : x86_64
Architecture       : 64bit, ELF
Platform           : Linux-5.13.0-35-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.34
