Would it be possible to
1. get a continuous playback of the results (the way minitube does)? This would really make minitube unneeded :-)
2. select the video with a simpler combination than the code of the video? for example could you number them 1,2,3,... in order of the results?

Added support to search YouTube Videos and play them in mplayer by inserting the video code.
Usage: youtube-viewer [words]
Example: youtube-viewer avatar trailer 2009

Great idea.. working on it...
Edited: Done... :)
[script] : will let you choose the quality of video
[script] [url] : script will choose best quality available
[script] -s || -stdin: Insert a URL via STDIN and play it @ best quality available
[script] -h || -help : print this message...

Feature request ;-)
What do you think about implementing sth like this
youtube-viewer --best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=???
where --best automatically picks the best quality available for the specific video? I'd love to use this in a script.

A workaround would be to set in the config-file,
force_fallback => 1,which will useyt-dlpto extract the video URLs.
