rofi_tube

This project is bash script to play videos from YouTube using rofi and mpv.

• Rofi is a window switcher, Application launcher and dmenu replacement

• mpv is a free (as in freedom) media player for the command line. It supports a wide variety of media file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.

inspired by 'rofi_mpvtube' from elenapan@github I added the possibility to save all videos of a channel as a playlist. So you can navigate in playlist with rofi and select/search a video to play

install

copy rofi_tube to a folder in your $PATH

Ex:

cp rofi_tube ~/.bin

files

config files in ~/.config/rofi_tube.

• channels.list (file): list to save all you favorite channels
• playlists (dir): save a playlist with all videos from a channel (urls, titles and some other info)

usage

rofi_tube 

Without params this will show all channels in you playlist. You can grab one and mpv will play all videos from this channel. But if channel has a lot of videos you will notice that it takes a lot of time to load and play mpv. In this case you can save a playlist with all videos. You will wait only fist time to download. After you will seach localy

rofi_tube --playlist

open rofi menu to select a channel. After will create a playlist with ak videos of this channel. Now you can search for a video or play a set of videos

rofi_tube --random

if you want to play all videos form a channel in random mode
