so to use youtube-dl you need to use an up to date version
if you download through pip or even pacman you get a version from 2021
if you try to update that, it tells you it can't update because you installed it with an external package manager
and if you try to install it manually using their binary, it's been taken down
i love the future
@mavica_again It's still maintained? I've been using yt-dlp.
@madewokherd is there a way to get something out of yt-dlp i can stdio pass to mplayer? i want to watch youtube videos on the framebuffer and mpv doesn't do framebuffer.
@madewokherd for reference the command line i've been trying:
`youtube-dl -q -o- $url | mplayer -cache 8192 -
@madewokherd ah! looks like yes you can just do
yt-dlp $url -o - | mplayer -
though now it's complaining about the video codec, but i think i'm on the right track now! thanks!
