Arch Linux is Linux built my way. My system blends to what I do. Clean and fast, no clutter in sight, with 100% freedom and control. I use Arch BTW !!

Could you share a bit more about how you use telegram for that purpose? I’d like to learn more. Thanks. I’ve never used telegram before btw…

Forgot to mention that mpv is how I actually watch the videos. Newsboat downloads a list from each channel kinda like an RSS feed. I can then select any video & download it by pressing a keybinding. It’s been a while since I last had to actually set this up, but off memory, here’s some quick info…

The file ~/.newsboat/urls contains URLs similar to the one below. Just replace CHANNEL_ID with the actual channel ID. You can find the channel ID in the URL of the channel’s page…

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID

With the URLs in place you can edit your newsboat config file to set up a key binding for downloading videos using yt-dlp. It should be as simple as adding something like the following to the config…

macro d set browser “yt-dlp %u”; open-in-browser ; set browser “xdg-open %u”

This binds the d key to use yt-dlp to download videos.

I love YouTube, but the site often annoys me in many ways. On my computer I use newsboat along with yt-dlp to download all the videos I want to watch offline. This way, I can watch content without dealing with any of the site’s frustrations…

Thank you for pointing out this app 🙏👍

Never tried bandcamp, but will have to try it out soon…

I try to buy all my music directly from the artist in CD form whenever possible. Whenever that’s not possible, I try to get a version that I can save locally & play offline…

Fuck em…
Just buy music directly from the artist whenever possible…
