Categorize your music with local playlists!

You can create local lists and append songs to them in dmenu, but also ~/.pipecat_turbo_lists has easy to edit syntax.

How does it work?

• The local playlists are stored in ~/.pipecat_turbo_lists file
• When launched, mpv creates a /tmp/mpvsocket file, so you can controll it or extract info from it with bash commands
• While playing playlists, the script creates a /tmp/pipecat_list file, so you can move forward or backwards in your queue
• All the info and videos are scraped from an Invidious instance somebody hosted, so you don't ping Google wihle being able to access all the Youtube content

Config and hacking?

The script doesn't have a config file by default. If you want to create a config file, you do it in ~/.config/pipecat_turbo.conf
The rest is explained in the comments in the script.

Example config - it's the one I use!
