Aha yea it could very well be that guy…
Forgot to mention that mpv
is how I actually watch the videos. Newsboat downloads a list from each channel kinda like an RSS feed. I can then select any video & download it by pressing a keybinding. It’s been a while since I last had to actually set this up, but off memory, here’s some quick info…
The file ~/.newsboat/urls
contains URLs similar to the one below. Just replace CHANNEL_ID
with the actual channel ID. You can find the channel ID in the URL of the channel’s page…
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID
With the URLs in place you can edit your newsboat config file to set up a key binding for downloading videos using yt-dlp
. It should be as simple as adding something like the following to the config…
macro d set browser “yt-dlp %u”; open-in-browser ; set browser “xdg-open %u”
This binds the d
key to use yt-dlp
to download videos.
I love YouTube, but the site often annoys me in many ways. On my computer I use newsboat
along with yt-dlp
to download all the videos I want to watch offline. This way, I can watch content without dealing with any of the site’s frustrations…
Maybe if I had given it a real chance and started following a few more people, I might have had a much better experience. My feed was filled with random stuff that I was never going to have any interest in…
Yea I tried threads recently myself & had the exact same problems. I followed like a total of 3 people, yet my feed was filled with utter crap that I wasn’t the slightest bit interested in…
I hadn’t logged into my Twitter account in over a year. When I finally did recently, I simply shared a link to my Mastodon account. A few days later, I went to check a Twitter link, only to find my account had been banned…
This design sucks so much that I switched to fennec over on f-droid…
In the past, some people have expressed dissatisfaction when I’ve sent them files in .odt format. However, it’s the superior format in terms of support and functionality, so I always make them aware of that and of the fact that I will never use some shitty ms product…
I really want to love Elementary OS, however, its foundation on Ubuntu has me hesitating, as I’m not the biggest fan of Ubuntu lately. If it were built on something like Debian or Fedora, I’d definitely be more inclined to give it a serious try…
