  1. You can search youtube from your terminal with yt-dlp ! It just doesn't have thumbnails.

    I have this alias:
    `alias yt 'yt-dlp --print title --print webpage_url "ytsearch50:$argv"'`

    so I can search, for example:
    `yt youre so portuguese markiplier fiber optic cable core`

    and it will output titles with the URL below for each entry, pictured in the screenshot.

    It'll print up to 50 results here. Just keep in mind this requires a javascript runner and external JS support. Wiki helper page : github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/

  4. I have a new tool for downloading videos from websites. It was not easy to get this working, so I am not recommending the investment of time for this, but I am dropping the link here, possibly for future reference, or for technically-minded people who have been looking for another way to download streaming video.

    This is working also as a #GreaseMonkey script in the #Falkon web browser.
