Feature Request: Command Line & mpv Support

[SlidingHorn]

I want to preface this by saying that this project looks awesome..

I think it would be extra awesome if we were able to run it solely from the command line using a player of our choice as well. This would make this application an absolute beast for those of us minimalist linux hipsters!

MPV (and other players like VLC) support have been asked before and is currently in the backlog. A CLI interface would be interesting to make as I haven't made one before. It looks to be possible to add on to the current project though it might be appealing to make it a stand alone project as well if users prefer a smaller download size (and possibly faster). I'd be interested in which direction you prefer for a CLI.

I'm clueless as to how Invidious' API works, but having the functionality to check subscriptions and see a list of recommended videos similar to those which would normally show on YouTube's home page would be awesome.

Having the ability to have something like a chronological "topic" feed would be cool too, if a recommendations section wouldn't be possible (i.e. something that polls videos about linux, or the NFL, or a particular game the user is interested in)

I'd assume one could set up a configuration file that would outline subscriptions and/or topics, etc.

also, an all lower-case command name would probably be preferred ;)

meanwhile using a simple shell script to call mpv via command line copy the invidio.us link and paste it to the script

tt.sh

/bin/bash

exec torify mpv $1

Closing in favor of #192

How does #192 address this issue?
