mpv and yt-dl user reporting in. What ads are we talking about?
What is your process for watching a video? For me to do it like this I currently have to copy the link, open a terminal, download the video with yt-dlp, navigate to the file, open it and then watch it. And then usually delete it. I'm curious if there is a faster or simpler way..
mpv has an integration with ytdl (and forks), which should let you just open the url and stream it directly
Isn't the speed limited though? Last time I checked it buffered for so long, the watching experience was not continuous.
yt-dl has a speedlimit. yt-dlp has not.
