yt-mpv

yt-mpv is a bash script to play, download video and audio from YouTube

(requirements: yt-dlp, mpv)

Step 1

By default yt-mpv starts with four "example channels". Three of thev are not blured on the screenshot bellow.

You can find out channel ids of your favorite channels and add them to the script as you please.

Or you can paste url as the first argument:

yt-mpv https://...

Or just copy (right click & copy) url of the video you would like to watch, listen or download (audio or video)

In this case yt-mpv will auto-create an entry for it.

Step 2

Use arrow-keys to choose or type part of the channel name. Menues are fzf powered and will help you narrow choice options.

Press "Enter" to choose a channel and you yt-mpv will give you the latest titles, that were published.

If there's something, that you would like to watch, listen or download, choose it.

Step 3

Now you can choose what to do with the content.

• download audio
• download video
• play audio
• play video
• or exit

BTW you can exit anytime from yt-mpv by pressing CTRL+C

and start it again to choose another content.

If you like the script and find it useful, consider giving it a star, please.
