This is a fork of Thanos Apollo's self-hosted repository yeetube.el.

What I've added:

• Ability to sort on all columns
• New column "When" for a video's "Published date"
• Defcustoms for default sort column and direction

The content of his README.md follows:

Yeetube | Emacs' Youtube Front End

About

This package provides the ability to scrape YouTube, with the results displayed in a proced-like buffer.

Package functionality includes:

• Query YouTube
• Play video url by default using mpv
• Bookmark/Save video url
• Download video using yt-dlp
• A minimal yt-dlp front-end, which is independent of the rest YouTube functionality, to download multiple urls.

Inspired by ytfzf & ytel

This package does not use Invidious or YouTube's API, just parses html & json.

Installation

This package is available via MELPA

FAQ

Feature request: display thumbnails

Formatting images in a text buffer is not something that I found easy or fun to do. Feel free to submit a patch if you manage to make an appealing version of it
