Gets direct media URLs to YouTube media
Project description
yturl gets direct media URLs to YouTube media, freeing you having to view them in your browser.
Usage
By default, yturl prints the media URL to standard output.
$ yturl 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TCxE0bWQeQ' Using itag 43. http://r2---sn-uphxqvujvh-30al.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?source=[...]
This means that you can do something like the following to watch it in mpv:
$ mpv "$(yturl 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TCxE0bWQeQ')"
Or something like the following to download it (using curl):
$ curl -Lo bill "$(yturl 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TCxE0bWQeQ')"
There is also a -q option for controlling the quality (for example -q high), see the program help for more information.
