mpv and yt-dl user reporting in. What ads are we talking about?
What is your process for watching a video? For me to do it like this I currently have to copy the link, open a terminal, download the video with yt-dlp, navigate to the file, open it and then watch it. And then usually delete it. I'm curious if there is a faster or simpler way..
mpv has an integration with ytdl (and forks), which should let you just open the url and stream it directly
Even vlc does this iirc
I got it working with yt-dlp. I had to reinstall mpv as a flatpak from flathub; it wouldn't work with a package install from my repo or a flatpak from fedora. I think at least as of yesterday it needed to be a very up-to-date release. Posting in case this helps someone else.
Isn't the speed limited though? Last time I checked it buffered for so long, the watching experience was not continuous.
yt-dl has a speedlimit. yt-dlp has not.
