Youtube ======= Commit [treason](https://git.sr.ht/~ft/treason). It supports H.264, VP8, VP9 and AV1. *NOTE* one does not simply commit treason on anything other than AMD64 or 386. No videos for Raspi users, sorry. You can still play audio only on other arches though. Install [nvi](https://git.sr.ht/~ft/nvi). ## Playing just audio alone nvi -A 251 -a /fd/1 ybGOT4d2Hs8 | mcfs -t audio | audio/opusdec > /dev/audio ## Playing video and/or audio The easiest way to play ANY video on Youtube is to use H.264 "baseline" stream. It's of pretty bad quality image-wise, but contains audio in the container itself and doesn't require too much CPU resources. nvi -V 18 -v /tmp/vid.mp4 ybGOT4d2Hs8 && treason /tmp/vid.mp4 && rm /tmp/vid.mp4 If you want to find the best possible format(s), use the following: nvi -a /tmp/audio -v /tmp/video ybGOT4d2Hs8 && treason -a /tmp/audio /tmp/video && rm /tmp/audio /tmp/video You can put that script to `$home/bin/rc/youtube` and add a plumb rule for Youtube URLs, right *before* `include basic`: type is text data matches 'https://(www.)?youtube[^ ]+' plumb start window youtube ''''$0'''' ## Caveats No. It's great. ## Support sigrid @ `#cat-v` or `9p.zone` chat.
