"YTS" -- search youtube inside the CLI -and- watch videos in mpv! 100% portable and minimal.
(lemmy.world)
Imagine a world where you could browse -and- watch youtube without using a graphical software or a web browser.
Guess what? Now you can.
With this nifty, minimal and 100% portable piece of software, you can now watch the best youtube has to offer without compromising your potato or waiting several minutes (!) for a video to appear on your screen.
The only caveat is that you need to install mpv.
And nothing else.
The code, alongside instructions on how to compile it can be found by clicking here.
Very cool 👍 . Too bad I can't use it right now, because MPV 0.39 is affected by a ffmpeg bug where every video from YouTube plays without audio. It seems it has been solved in v. 0.40, but it's not yet in Fedora 41 (neither 42).
