``yt``: a command-line YouTube client
=====================================
``yt`` is a command-line front-end to YouTube which allows you to browse YouTube
videos and play them directly from the command-line. It uses ``youtube-dl`` and
``mplayer`` or ``omxplayer`` to actually *play* the videos.
The combination of a text based interface and ``omxplayer`` makes ``yt`` a great
YouTube client for the Raspberry Pi.
Usage
-----
Launch using ``mplayer`` with::
yt
or, if you're using a Raspberry Pi, using ``omxplayer``::
pi-yt
Installation
------------
From PyPi (easier!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
# Install dependancies
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
# Ensure using latest version of youtube-dl to keep up with YouTube API changes
sudo youtube-dl -U
# Install from PyPi
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install whitey
From GitHub
~~~~~~~~~~~
::
# Install dependancies
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
# Ensure using latest version of youtube-dl to keep up with YouTube API changes
sudo youtube-dl -U
# Install from GitHub
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
git checkout git@github.com:rjw57/yt.git
cd yt
sudo python setup.py install
One line install for the Raspberry Pi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
curl -L https://github.com/rjw57/yt/raw/master/tools/install-pi.sh | sh
Dependancies
------------
- youtube-dl
- mplayer or omxplayer
Common problems
---------------
Videos don't play when selected in interface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Make sure you have the latest version of youtube-dl. youtube-dl has a self update
mechanism::
sudo youtube-dl -U
Omxplayer starts and terminates without playing video
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For high quality videos the default memory allocation on the Raspberry Pi doesn't
provide enough memory to the GPU.
The default 192M ARM, 64M GPU split can be changed to a 128M ARM, 128M GPU split
using raspi-config.
::
sudo raspi-config
# Select memory-split
# Allocate 128M to the GPU
See http://elinux.org/RPi_Advanced_Setup for more information.
