1·
2 months agoSo my new workflow is to use Piped to find a video, then copy the end of the link and type “yt-dlp <C-S-v>” in a terminal, wait for the video(s) to download, and open in mpv.
Why not just pass the YouTube link to mpv so you don’t have to wait for the video to download?
In my experience the video loads in a few seconds compared to the minutes it’d take for it to download, but I get your second point.
