People also don't realize that mpv not only has the ability to stream youtube videos but you can also search youtube on the CLI using mpv `mpv ytdl://ytsearch:query`
it can also play videos directly in the terminal using ascii, sixel or kitty image protocol (which is by far the highest quality)
- abhishekjha 2y agoDo you have an example?
- ftk_ 2y agoNot OP but also wrote a similar thing for mpv. https://github.com/ftk/mpv-confluence/tree/torrserver https://github.com/ftk/mpv-confluence/tree/torrserver

Consider putting this up somewhere folks can find it.- > it can also play videos directly in the terminal using ascii Beats Star Wars over telnet :)

- tvshtr 2y agoit's crazy what you can do with its plugin scripts. MPV Android also supports them. I wrote one which turns off keyboard backlight and maxes brightness for HDR. Also I'm using it to stream from Gerbera and to sync progress seamlessly between phone and PC.
