mpv and youtube-dl, or another video player capable of loading videos from youtube links (eg. celluloid, even a web browser would work) To compile on windows or linux:
Make sure your video player is installed and is accessible by typing its name via command line (Typing mpv should print a help screen, for example)
Clone and run the project using cargo
git clone https://github.com/j0lol/rs-youtube
cd rs-youtube
cargo install --path .
rs-youtube(.exe)
This program will create a config file the first time it reads config (checking subscriptions or checking video player) in one of these directories:
- Linux: /home/USER/.config/rs-youtube/config.toml
- Windows: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\j0lol\rs-youtube\config\config.toml
- macOS: /Users/USER/Library/Application Support/com.j0lol.rs-youtube/config.toml
If you would like to edit the config, the format looks like this:
config.toml
toml
subscriptions = ["UCX6OQ3DkcsbYNE6H8uQQuVA","UCiYpKsB66LZsk7s4yhxJqlQ"]
video_player = "mpv"
The config file defaults to loading mpv, and will have 0 subscriptions. You can subscribe to a channel by searching for it's channel page, then picking the "sub" option.
Selecting a video will open it in MPV
