An application for listening to YouTube audio in the terminal, utilising yt-dlp and ffplay.
Install cargo from your favourite package manager.
Clone the repo with git clone git@github.com:Mqlvin/termtube.git
Move into the cloned directory cd termtube
Build with cargo cargo build --release
A static binary will be produced at ./target/release/termtube
You can move this binary on to your system PATH to use it anywhere :)
Prerequisite: Ensure you have yt-dlp and ffplay installed and available on your system PATH.
To get started, type termtube --help
To play audio, type termtube --source <source> --source <source> --source <source>...
A source can be a YouTube video link, a YouTube playlist link, or a source file.
As demonstrated, the --source flag (aka -s) can be used many times.
You can create a list of YouTube video/playlist links in a file to be supplied to TermTube.
Ensure each link is placed on a new line, or the program will not read the file correctly.
Note: Adding lots of playlists can significantly increase startup time of TermTube. This is due to extra requests being made to YouTube.
For looping, add the --loop argument.
For shuffling, add the --shuffle argument.
