• 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 3 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 3 years ago

• youtube terminal player

  There is this https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer and this https://github.com/pystardust/ytfzf. Source: over 3 years ago

• Easiest way to install older versions of mpv?

  Why not updating to something else? https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer. Source: almost 4 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: almost 4 years ago

• Show HN: I tried making YouTube safer for my kids

  Minitube is pretty great, and uses MPV (and therefore yt-dlp) behind the scenes. It has filters that are really neat, and is very minimalistic. I personally use it, too, to avoid distracting myself and to actively search for everything I consume. [1] https://flavio.tordini.org/minitube. - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• Block YouTube Ads on AppleTV by Decrypting and Stripping Ads from Profobuf

  I can recommend "minitube" [1]. It's super minimalistic, and requires you to actively search for things to find them. No ads, no feeds, no short videos, nothing - just playlists for search terms. Uses yt-dlp and mpv behind the scenes, so it's using less than 5% CPU on my small Intel NUC machine, too. I can't stress enough how it is soooo much better in terms of what type of content I consume now.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• YouTube confirms that it has removed the “sort by oldest/newest” option

  In regards to alternative Youtube clients. Not sure if it fits your requirements but I've used MiniTube which is pretty decent: https://flavio.tordini.org/minitube. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
