Anyone interrested in this work?

]]>Selected downloaded videos can now be deleted with :delete (WARNING: no undo)
Minimal readline support: in command mode hitting CTRL p or CTRL n moves through previously entered commands (you can also use the arrow keys)
Changed the layout to get more advantage of available text space and added dividers for a better overview
I started implementing streaming support (thanks to metalx1000) in the latest git version of videotop, if you press s the focused video starts to stream.
You might also want to add something like this in your MPlayer config (~/.mplayer/config), the values depend on your internet connection:
[default]
cache = 8192 # 8 mb cache
cache-min = 5 # play if 5% of the cache is loaded in memory
Note that fast-forwarding doesn't really work and I have no clue how to fix that, also youtube-viewer still seems to be broken.
]]>Wouldn't it be much easier to simply use mplayer to stream the file? Youtube-viewer from the AUR does that afaik and it works fine.
...or we could do that.
]]>Downloading a video now conveniently shows the output of youtube-dl (see screenshot).
You can abort the download of a video by selecting it and hitting a.
If you download the video again with ENTER, it resumes the download rather than starting all over again.
Since YouTube changed something internally, youtube-dl is currently broken.
However, there is a fork of youtube-dl by phihag in the AUR which fixes this issue.
Streaming videos sounds like a good idea, I will look into that.
@aluser:
That's strange, can you open it with "python2 videotop"?
**EDIT**
After waiting roughly an hour now for the file to start playing, i guess the playing function does not work all :)
Another YouTube downloader with an ncurses interface and Vim-like keybindings written in python2.
