yewtube's Issues

Download YouTube videos by providing the video link.

Is it possible to download a video by providing the link instead of searching video in commandline?

I can download but can't play through proxy

mpsyt version  : 0.01.40

Don't use `q` for the next track.

The are few but important keys that always™ have the same function. Like q and ctrl+c for quit and SIGINT (well kind of) especially in a terminal.

At the moment q has several different meanings in your application (from end user perspective): one is "return" (only one track playing) the other is "next track" when you play more tracks. I think i understand why you did it as a programmer. :) Would you be "confused" if you use VLC and it would use `q´ the same way?

Instead i suggest using < and > for next and previous track. Or n and p or both.

But i don't know how that would work with videos when mplayer or mpv have focus and grab the keys strokes.

Use mpv instead of mplayer when possible

mpv is a fork of mplayer and mplayer2 it is a bit more user friendly. E.g. they fixed the "unpause problem", added an icon and overhauled the HUD/OSD.

mpv is in all newer distros (debian testing, ubuntu 13.10, Arch Linux, …)

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv
http://mpv.io/

It would be great if pmsyt would use mpv automatically if it is there. Instead of set player mpv.

Couldn't open old playlist file

After installing the program to run get the message "Couldn't open old playlist file" and closes
The distribution is DMDC with a Debian 386 kernel 3.2.54-2
Sorry if there are spelling mistakes, do not speak English and use the google translator

Tag releases

Could you tag releases instead of just making a commit? It would make packaging it so much easier.

Add specific quality playback

When show_video is true; add specific quality option like Youtube flash player: 144p, 240p, 360p, ...

When using mpv: Error parsing commandline option nolirc: option not found

When using mpv:

Error parsing commandline option nolirc: option not found

The option for mpv is --lirc, --no-lirc and not −nolirc. Same for mplayer2, but i think the support both ways.

Terminal is broken after ctrl-c while playing

When I use play mode and I want to go back into prompt I use ctrl-c to return, as suggested. The problem is that I don't see anything I type after that. The problem is repeatable and occurs every second time.

So, I play some playlist, press ctrl-c, I don't see chars, play something again, press ctrl-c and everything seems to be normal.

I use fish and urxvt.

Update readme - add pafy

Please add pafy to installation notes. For some newcomers can be confusing right now.

Playback stops if mplayer runs out of buffer.

I'm unsure which program is at fault but it appears that the beginnings of playback can be halted when the program seemingly runs out of buffer, rather than wait for the buffer to fill.

I'm unsure of how to provide details as I'm not sure if this is actually the problem or not. It just seems to be the issue as it's always within the first few seconds of playback.

Terminal window closes after selecting download

Hello, I've used PMS for awhile now, and love it. Recently, I cannot download. The terminal window closes once I type "d #". Any thoughts? I've upgraded to the latest version, and I'm on Ubuntu 13.10

Undocumented 'information' feature in help

The useful command to show a result's information (e.g. 'i 2') is not listed in the help. I'm unsure if this was intentional or not for space reasons, but since the help exceeds my default terminal size space doesn't seem to be an issue.

Playlist improvements

In a playlist you can skip to the next track but you can't go to the previous track or play a certain track.

It would also be useful to use vim keys for navigations (this was also used in Google Reader and is now used in Google+ or Facebook for instance - e.g.: J to go to the next track or K to go to the previous track).

Default player

It'd be nice if either:

1. mpv was the default player.
2. It was possible to change the default player somehow when installing, or
3. There was a system-wide config where you can set the default player.

Can't play any video: "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groups'"

pms-youtube can't play any video on my computer (Ubuntu 14.04, installed pms-youtube via pip). When trying to play something I get this warning:

"WARNING:root:stream failed to open"

And a few times, this error was displayed:

Time sometimes doesn't align in search results

This is seemingly caused by asian characters (and possibly symbols) taking up more than their fair share of space in a monospace setting.

watch or listen video via command

It would be great if one could view or listen to a video no matter what the default is.

So if audio only is the default you would only hear the videos via the following command:

 2,4

But if the user uses

view 2,4

he/she would see the video no matter what the default is.

And

 listen 2,4

would only play sound even if the default is video.

I am not sure which commands would be best, but i think watch and view or video should do. And also w and v for short.

And listen, l, audio,a` or so for audio only.

mplayer slave mode discussion

Since @np1 recently wrote mpsyt could be changed to run mplayer in slave mode, I'm starting this discussion to help out with idea.

mplayer slave mode doc : http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/slave.txt

Can't play YouTube playlists

I'm using the latest mps-youtube (0.1.37) under Ubuntu 14.04 and it fails to play YouTube playlists. When trying to play a youtube playlist, I get this error: "Problem fetching this item: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '240.511'"

I've tried searching for "volbeat" playlists, then tried playing the resulted playlists but none worked.

Really long items report incorrect result length

For an example search 'five hours' to get ridiculously long result lengths. The result will usually be something like '00:43'.

The stream will play just fine, it's just a misreported length. Probably due to the fact that there is no hour slot. So I'm unsure if this is a bug or an unsupported feature.

Turkish character issue

When i am trying to open a video which contains Turkish characters it says "Problem fetching this item: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 0: unexpected end of data"

Wishlist: SoundCloud integration

As mps-youtube is music-centered already, it would be nice to be able to search SoundCloud as well.

When mplayer set, doesn't play m4a

But when mpv set, play m4a

Google-style search syntax support

As a feature-request, I'd like to be able to use google-style search syntax for results. How detailed and inclusive is up for debate.

For instance, being able to search with:

/mahler symphony 5 -chicago -bernstein

Show more result

Hello grat app but could be better to have more result. Maybe adding a next command to display the result after the 19 first would be nice.

Feature request: Please add option to convert files to mp3

Would be nice to have an option to convert downloaded files to specific format, for example to mp3. Like current playerargs there should be converterargs parameter for that. Use case for this is to prepare files for specific mediaplayer which is not able to play m4a or ogg.
Addidtionally (or optionally) there can be an option to run script for every file downloaded which should get the file in command line parameter. This way it would be possible to define more elaborate automation tasks to do with downloaded files.

include changelog

for creating clean debian packages, there should be upstream changelog file as part where do we read changes from.

Search history

Please implement persistent search history, similar to bash promt. Currently search history is usable only within session, when restarting then history is empty.

video title with mpv/mplayer

Is there a way add support to show video title with mpv/mplayer?
mpv with libquvi works well with title=${media-title}, maybe you could add the same thing?

RegEx for all does not work

It would be great if pmsyt would understand that * means "all videos".

So one can use "shuffle *" to shuffle all videos found for a keyword.

Playlist download

Is there a way to do a playlist download, similar to play? Like "da 1-4" or "da all"?

search in videos uploaded by a specific user

Would be nice if this feature could be added. Thanks.

Set the amount of item listed

by default it seems like 19 items is display.

Add an option to set the amount u want?
Because on small screens/large fonts u have to scroll up and down to see the full list

Thanks =)

Default configuration includes video

Line 163, should SHOW_VIDEO be enabled by default? I assume this was a mistake.

mps-youtube not working behind proxy

mps-youtube does not work with connections through network proxy.
No search and playing is possible. Moreover no information about connection problems is displayed.

Proxy is defined in dconf, and in environment variables (HTTP_PROXY and http_proxy).

Using v0.01.37

Add support videos from specified youtube user

Hello, would be nice if you could add support to get videos from specified user, for instance recent uploads from http://www.youtube.com/user/tauekb/videos

Precache

Please add support to pre-cache the next track during the playback.

Make use of internal Youtube playlists

Many Youtube users have pre-compiled playlists, so there's sometimes no need to build one yourself. Being able to search for and utilize playlists straight from youtube would be a great feature.

Show playing progress

Please implement showing play progress (within a song) in command window, this would be useful in combination with seek functionality to see at a glance how far we are to help find specific place. In relation to this it would be sometimes useful to start playing in specific place in song/video by entering mm:ss for starting place.
