Here's a shell helper I wrote a while ago, mainly to do the following: 1. right-click URL in browser -> copy 2. start cwm(1) application, i.e. `command watch watch' in cwmrc(5) 3. have mpv(1) started streaming the URL, possibly with youtube-dl(1)
I've put it into shape and uploaded the script somewhere, wrote a proper manual as well so DESCR merely serves as teaser. Information for inst:watch-0.1 Comment: watch videos Description: watch(1) is a small wrapper around mpv(1), youtube-dl(1) and xclip(1) providing simple interfaces and intregration to stream arbitrary URLs or watch YouTube search results. Maintainer: Klemens Nanni <k...@openbsd.org> I know this could conflict with a future port of the GNU watch(1) tool, but it has yet to arrive and other names for this tool are already used, e.g. view(1) from editors/vim and stream(1) from graphics/ImageMagick. Feedback? OK?
