Command line YouTube/Twitch client that uses the web api so no login or API key is needed.

• Requires mpv and youtube-dl, or another video player capable of loading videos from YouTube/Twitch links (e.g. celluloid, even a web browser would work)

1. Make sure your video player is installed and is accessible by typing its name via command line (Typing mpv should print a help screen, for example)

2. Install Rust (using rustup)

3. Install using cargo

cargo install rs-youtube

rs-youtube(.exe)

This program will create a config file the first time it reads config (checking subscriptions or checking video player) in one of these directories:

• Linux: /home/USER/.config/rs-youtube/config.toml
• Windows: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\j0lol\rs-youtube\config\config.toml
• macOS: /Users/USER/Library/Application Support/com.j0lol.rs-youtube/config.toml

If you would like to edit the config, refer to the config.toml.default file.

The config file defaults to loading mpv, and will have 0 subscriptions. You can subscribe to a channel by searching for its channel page, then picking the "sub" option.

• rs-youtube has been thoroughly tested on linux, and somewhat tested on Windows and macOS
