yewtube VS ytfzf

This conflicts with yewtube, which incidentally, you may be interested in.

If you're comfortable with a text based interface, there's also the yewtube program which runs from the terminal and is pretty neat.

I haven't tried these but they seem to do what you're looking for: mps-youtube ytfzf

Investigate mps-youtube: https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube

For youtube there is this commandline tool. Though it seems this fork is not that active any more: https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube

I'm using mps-yotube, https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube with cvlc and confused about controls, how to pause, how to skip, etc.

I've been playing with ytfzf recently which is quite cool for browsing yt on grim hardware

# install python packages, including yt-dlp pip install -r requirements.txt # install ytfzf git clone https://github.com/pystardust/ytfzf cd ytfzf sudo make install doc

Sounds like you need an adBlocker. And/or alternative ways of watching YT content. Not exactly sure how this works on other OSs, but on Linux I use ytfzf to browse, and mpv to watch by youtube link.

YouTube: in Browser is a pain but ytfzf works well for me.

I am using ytfzf with a custom interface that I wrote in python because I couldn't find an interface that supports sixel.

it is one of these. I plan to use it for running cli programs like ytfzf in the terminal

fzf has long found its way into many scripts, a bit like dmenu. My favorite: ytfzf.
