Honestly you guys are probably smart enough to figure this one out so I’ll just link the GitHub link here. It’s also because I don’t have any Linux machines so I have no experience with this but many on here have said good things about it. Just follow the instructions on the GitHub and you should be fine.

I feel kinda dumb rn because I got this to work a while ago but the updates wiped the adblock package. Not a big deal right? except i have no clue how i got it to work in the first place, and nothing i do now seems to work. Errors after errors. Has anyone else installed it successfully (and remembers how)?

This might be a repost but I was wondering if on there was a program (linux debian based) that would allow you to make searches on youtube for videos (preferely based on mpv) kinda line ani-cli for gogoanime ? (or if there's a way to repurpose ani-cli to search on youtube)

Is there any way for qutebrowser to play youtube videos with h264 codec?

youtube-viewer is imo also really, really fast with loading a yt video into mpv (doesn't use youtube-dl/yt-dlp).

I say this everytime when qb + mpv comes up, but in my experience youtube-viewer opens URLs a lot faster than if you would just use mpv (you can test this from the commandline, mpv/youtube-viewer $URL — be sure the appropiately configure youtube-viewer first, so that it directly launches mpv). It also has a pretty nice config for storing youtube-related playback preferences.

Do you mean like GTK Youtube Viewer for Linux computers, or NewPipe for Android?

you might wanna check this out. Its always nice to use lightweight options but it has some perks...i noticed it starts those videos faster for example that simply mpv "ytb link" with its ytbdl hook
