It has been written in Perl and plays videos from Youtube at -the best quality available without using a flash player. - -********* -Note: Google has revoked the API key formerly used by youtube-viewer. To -use this, you'll have to create a Google account and register for an API -key. See /usr/doc/youtube-viewer-$VERSION/README.md for instructions. -See https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer/issues/308 for more -information. - -If you don't like this restriction, try using straw-viewer instead. - -Further note: I (B. Watson) am no longer updating this SlackBuild -because I don't care to register for an API key, so I can't test -it. If you use this and want to take over, please let me know (or -mention it on the mailing list). - -This build will be REMOVED from the repository either in March 2021, or -whenever Slackware 15.0 releases (whichever comes first) unless someone -takes over as maintainer. -********* - -Optional dependencies: - -perl-gtk2, perl-File-ShareDir - for gtk2-youtube-viewer. -perl-Gtk3, perl-File-ShareDir, perl-List-MoreUtils - for gtk3-youtube-viewer. -perl-Text-CharWidth, perl-Unicode-LineBreak - for better formatting - in the terminal. -perl-Term-ReadLine-Gnu - for command editing/history in the terminal. -youtube-dl [2] - if this is present, youtube-viewer will use it to detect - available formats for the video. - -Counting optional ones, youtube-viewer has over 40 dependencies. To make -life easier, there's now a "youtube-viewer.sqf" queue file included with -this build, which includes everything listed above. - -[1] A small caveat about youtube-dl: youtube-viewer works without it, -though occasionally it'll choose a lower quality than is available -for some videos. However, if youtube-dl is present but outdated, -youtube-viewer will fail to play videos at all! If you suspect this, -remove youtube-dl and try without it. - -This build always includes the command-line client (youtube-viewer). For -the GTK client (gtk-youtube-viewer), install perl-gtk2 and -perl-File-ShareDir before running this script. If you have them installed -but don't want gtk-youtube-viewer, you can set GTK=no in the script's -environment. - -To force gtk-youtube-viewer to use your preferred terminal for downloading -with wget and watching in a terminal, set TERMINAL in the script's -environment (e.g. TERMINAL="xterm" or TERMINAL="urxvt"). - -When upgrading to 3.2.4, I had to remove my old config file to get the new -gtk-youtube-viewer to work correctly. If you have issues after an upgrade: - -rm -f ~/.config/youtube-viewer/gtk-youtube-viewer.conf |
