-youtube-viewer (browse YouTube videos from a terminal or GTK UI)
-
-Youtube Viewer is a dedicated application for searching, viewing, and
-downloading Youtube videos, using wget for downloading and MPlayer for
-viewing. 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 However, if youtube-dl is present but outdated,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
