siriusmart / youtube-tui Goto Github PK

Sorry if this has been discussed or announced anywhere, I just couldn't find any information about it, but is the addition of users' youtube accounts planned? Being able to use a TUI application that supports viewing all of the channels you've subscribed to, playlists you have saved and videos you've liked, as well as being able to do those things inside of it, would be amazing.

i've tried installing via AUR and via Cargo both result in "thread '' panicked at /home/da5id/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/youtube-tui-0.8.0/src/global/structs/mpv.rs:28:34:

anyone got any ideas?

just for tracking issues

Maybe I'm missing something but great work on the project but how do I sign in so i can view my personal recommendations?

Add feature: MPRIS support for control media

If I select the channel and switch to video section, I get the following error.
I was not able to found a channel, without this issue.

Right now with images enabled this application is unusable on kitty as it hangs after searching or accessing history. Kitty's native protocol seems to be much better than sixels. Would there be any support for it?

Hello!

I tried installing with cargo but I've run into this error:
error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1
note: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpv: No such file or directory

Any idea what's gone wrong here? Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks so much!

The readme claims the project is dependency-free, but it looks like libxcb is also needed.

I wanna see what it looks like on the readme.

I love the idea of this app but I'm having some issues setting it up, it worked for a (very) short time but now literally nothing loads, it's possible that adding subscriptions to my feed might have caused the problem as I think it started freezing after that (I could be wrong though).

fyi, I've never used invidious before so I very well might have set things up wrong

subscriptions.json
main.txt
(the actual config is .yml I just did this so I can upload it)

Versions: (don't know what's helpful so I'll just do everything that might be important to know)

• youtube-tui 0.8.0 (downloaded from the "youtube-tui-git" aur package)
• mpv 0.38.0
• yt-dlp 2024.04.09
• kitty 0.33.1

Hi, I just installed youtube-tui and it looks fantastic! I use newpipe, and this seems to offer a similar feature set for term. 🥇 💯 🏆 🍰 ❤️

Anyway, I'm currently working in on a host in tmux on TTY, and the default settings expect GUI. We should document alt settings that do some sort of job supervising, maybe using a youtube-tui tmux session. I have some experience doing that, and could contrib. Thoughts?

Hey guys! I have the following question:
This support any terminal? Or it is needed to be a GPU powered like Kitty or Alacrity?

v0.7.4
archlinux

It appears that I'm unable to enter the letters 'j' and 'k' directly into the search bar because they're being interpreted as Vim movement keys instead of literal letters. However, if I hold down the Ctrl or Alt key, I'm able to type these letters as normal. Interestingly, I don't have any issues typing the letters 'h' and 'l'. This problem seems to have started with version 0.7.4.

YouTube Music lets you upload your own music to listen anywhere. Could I theoretically generate some Google API key to access these tracks from the TUI?

I tried playing a playlist containing private files using MPV in a shell and this is the error:

[ytdl_hook] ERROR: [youtube] [video_id_censored]: Private video. Sign in if you've been granted access to this video 
[ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred 
Failed to recognize file format.

I'm guessing I would need to configure yt-dlp in some way?

I understand this program is dependency free but it would still be cool to add a tutorial to the documentation as an example of how you can configure this even further.

When opening a channel, there are three options: Main, Videos, and Playlists. Main & Playlists have expected behavior, but when selecting Videos, the application returns the following:

invalid type: map, expected a sequence

and no videos are listed.

Environment: manjaro-sway
Rust version: 1.66.1

• Copy URL: ${xclip} ${embed-url}

how would I create a custom command to copy the URL to my clipboard?

Hy @Siriusmart

Really liked that you are working on this.

This is more of an question to know if you are interested to collaborate on something similar. I have decided to work again on ytui-music and am currently re-writing it. I believe new codebase will be far more sensible and standard as compared to current (when I was only starting with rust then).

Ytui-music is basically an idea to have a tui to listen to audio from youtube. We will be using mpv to handle playback, reqwest to handle web, invidious as youtube provider. The end goal is to have easy to use and sensible and configurable tui.

Therefore I would like to ask if you are interested in this and help to deliver the goal.

I'm getting this error message upon installation:

messagebar.rs:36:33 crashes, i'll prob fix it later

adding new features to youtube-tui was rough, especially the subscription page caused me to realise what terrible design choices I've made when I began the second rewrite of youtube-tui 2 years ago.

but more importantly, I have a bit of a vision on how TUI apps should be - rather than each apps running on their own, they should share features, allowing embedding of one TUI component within another.

the first step to getting there would be to allow multiple programs to draw to the same terminal, this is the working principle of ccanvas. You can learn more about it by clicking on the url.

anyways, here is the current progress

Is it out of the range of possibilities to have embeded video/audio within the youtube-tui interface rather than externally loading mpv?

above is the screenshot of the error message when i do cargo install youtube-tui

I installed the package on arch linux with cargo, but it doesn't run unless it's run as root:
Error: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }
I have previously done the same on void linux and I haven't needed to use root.

I'm guessing I need to be in some group. Which one is it?

Hey there, this looks like a great project and I am trying to make it run on Debian 12 via cargo install.

However, I am experiencing a version missmatch error and a thread panic when I try to run youtube-tui (version 0.8.0) on Debian 12. It looks like the error is related to a discrepancy between the linked and loaded version of the mpv library. I don't see how to quickly fix this and I am not interested in upgrading or downgrading my mpv setup.

Are there plans to support ueberzug?
Or how to set the thumbnail quality to a better quality?

This feels so good for terminal lovers and minimalists.

I'm surprised it is not known, it has 7 version and get has few attraction, I see that you have posted on reddit tho has acquired less attention.

Tbh IMO, i can see it replacing ytfzf.

This tool needs more attention!

Thank you dev for making this possible ;)

Can we all please be sensible? Can we please use vim keybinds, let's not be wild men. We are all gentlemen.

live streams unable to load caused by an issue in the invidious crate

opening an issue so keep stuff on track

That really would be useful

https://github.com/Siriusmart/youtube-tui#todo-first-piority-on-top
"piority"

It would be great to see more common keybinds be added to the TUI, such as:

• Ctrl + Backspace and Ctrl + w : delete one word
• Ctrl + u : clear whole line
• gg and G : go to first and last line
• h and l : previous page and next page (without prompting, as it currently does)

I also think that the following defaults would be an improvement for the UX:

• On launch, have the search bar be automatically focused and be in insert mode. That way the user can launch the application and directly start typing a query.
• After a user inputs a query and gets the search results, I think it is preferable for the user to be in insert mode in the window that lists the results, that way they can directly start navigating them.
• After a user selects an entry from the list, I think it is preferable for the user to be in insert mode in the window that lists the media options (Play video, Play audio etc.)
• I also think it would be a great addition if the user could use the Backspace keybind in insert mode when in the media options window, that way they don't have to press escape an additional time.

Overall, these are somewhat optional changes, so feel free to reject any of them, however they would save the user a few keystrokes here and there, which is always nice.

Additionally, I think the keybinds implementation done in this TUI could serve as a good guideline, I find it quite intuitive to use etc:
https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/tree/master#commands

Also, as a side note, running youtube-tui help in the terminal doesn't work, and that's what the user is told to do after running :help in the TUI.

What a great program. Any chance we could get MPRIS support?

Building the project with cargo install youtube-tui or building from source on Windows 10 throws the same error.

How to adjust video default resolution as it loads video in high resolution and I have limited bandwidth.

I went to reply to #28 (comment) and found that it was locked. Not sure if you intend to have your repo configured this way but.. well.. I'll assume good intent for the moment.

already been put onto nixos repos

Yes, it's already in nixpkgs like everything. I was talking about adding a config module to nix home-manager.

i'll close the issue for now as it doesn't seem necessary anymore

Adding example config that doesn't assume a specific terminal emulator is installed still seems very worthwhile, to avoid the need for customization in most cases. Unless one has been added since I filed that.

Again, I don't like to clog an issue queue with a bogus issue, but when closed issues are auto-locked external stakeholders (ie users) are left with little recourse.

For instance, russian characters don't render properly, and the program panicks when the user tries to input non english characters in the search query

The readme clams the project is dependency-free, but it looks like their are some dependency, without the project does not work (additional to mpv).

• libsixel
• konsole

This should be mention.
