Hello lordmocha! To play videos with mpv, try: youtube-viewer --mplayer=mpv --mplayer-args='--really-quiet' Or modify the configuration file accordingly with any valid values for 'mplayer' and 'mplayer_arguments'.

hi, i can't seem to get this working for mpv, i have tried youtube-viewer --mplayer"mpv -prefer-ipv4", i have also tried /usr/bin/mpv and nolirc=true

Searching for videos works excellently for me, but they seem to be not playing for some reason. I have 'nolirc=true' in my mplayer config. When I enter the number of the video I want to watch, it'll output the title of the video, description, author, etc., but will hang for several seconds and then return me to the results page rather than play the video. Debug mode shows that it executes this command before it hangs: '/usr/bin/mplayer -prefer-ipv4 -really-quiet -cache 2000 -cache-min 3' I am able to make it work by using vlc as the media player instead, but I'd really like to use mplayer. Is there any way that I could fix this?

After successfully upgraded to perl 5.18, you need to delete everything from /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl, and to reinstall the perl-xml-fast package. Or just remove completely the XML:: Fast module from your system. youtube-viewer will work without it. If some warnings will appear after the upgrade, making an alias like this: alias youtube-viewer="perl -X /usr/bin/youtube-viewer" will hide them all.

Hi, since I updated youtube-viewer and a handful of perl packages from the main repos, I get XML parse errors when I search for videos and no video results. I get this XML error also, when I pass a video url as an argument to youtube-viewer. Result is, that it doesn't list any videos or play any passed videos. This is what I see with "--debug 1" and a video url: ** GET http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/pc0NHsRLef8?v=2 ==> 200 OK XML::Fast: Error occured while parsing the XML content of: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/pc0NHsRLef8?v=2 =>> Search for YouTube videos (:h for help)

Hi, got a little bug to report: --get-title is broken for me: % youtube-viewer -N --get-title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3_HHZFi0As" The Simpsons THX =>> Search for YouTube videos (:h for help) > The expected behavior is that it only outputs the title and then exits.

cool, i figured that is what it was, will rebuild and push to the repos again, and then merge the 2 thanks :D

Sorry. I just wanted to fix the 403:Forbidden issue first. youtube-viewer-git has been added and version 3.0.2 released.
