• This might be a repost but I was wondering if on there was a program (linux debian based) that would allow you to make searches on youtube for videos (preferely based on mpv) kinda line ani-cli for gogoanime ? (or if there's a way to repurpose ani-cli to search on youtube)

  Https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer is the one that I use right now. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is there any way for qutebrowser to play youtube videos with h264 codec?

  Youtube-viewer is imo also really, really fast with loading a yt video into mpv (doesn't use youtube-dl/yt-dlp). Source: over 2 years ago

• youtube terminal player

  There is this https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer and this https://github.com/pystardust/ytfzf. Source: over 2 years ago

• Easiest way to install older versions of mpv?

  Why not updating to something else? https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Did anything change to youtube ads? Not blocked anymore.

  I say this everytime when qb + mpv comes up, but in my experience youtube-viewer opens URLs a lot faster than if you would just use mpv (you can test this from the commandline, mpv/youtube-viewer $URL — be sure the appropiately configure youtube-viewer first, so that it directly launches mpv). It also has a pretty nice config for storing youtube-related playback preferences. Source: about 3 years ago

  For those who have not already heard of it, check out invidious: https://invidious.io/ A list of public instances (which you probably want to use if you're concerned about being identified) here: https://docs.invidious.io/instances/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• YouTube begins new wave of slowdowns for users with ad blockers enabled

  Going to drop this here for others who haven't heard of it https://invidious.io/ Now, how do we fix this? YouTube's ad model sucks. Their algorithm sucks. Their front page sucks. They've captured a bunch of creators though so often YouTube is the only place you can find someone. I want those creators to benefit from me viewing their videos. I want the fact that I view a video and like it to help other people find... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Reviving decade-old Macs with antiX and MX Linux (2022)

  Sometimes a half-solution will do, like Invidious or Piped. [0] https://invidious.io/ [1] https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Tired of youtube ads ? just use Invidious ...

  Invidious has no ads. No need for adblocker. https://invidious.io/. Source: 6 months ago

• YouTube wants to get you watching more news from 'authoritative sources'

  You can find public instances but they are a bit hit or miss since youtube can often throttle those instances. I have it running on my home server (so not throttled) and am quite happy with the result. [1]: https://invidious.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
