• 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: almost 3 years 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 1 year ago

• I made native YouTube player for macOS. For fun!. Safari is an optimized browser but looking at my stats these videos playback take-up 30x less resources 🤯

  You might like Minitube. Been around for a few years but still appears to work. Source: almost 3 years ago
