a shell script for searching, playing, downloading, and keeping track of music from youtube and local files with extensive queue management using fzf, vim, or cli

demo: https://www.reddit.com/r/bash/comments/10i7cb2/ytmp_shell_script_for_yt_and_local_music_that_has/

FEATURES:

• Keyboard centered
• Search regular youtube or youtube music (kind of... in a round about way. see ytmp h for explanation)
• Download songs after they have been played a chosen amount of times (and play the download in the future)
• Add local files/directories
• Select from multiple search results
• Search and add youtube playlists to the queue
• Manage the queue from cli, nvim, fzf
• Control mpv through its ipc server
• Run commands on song change
• Keep track of listen history/amount
• Everything is a plain text file
• Integration with eww widgets (through mpv ipc server)

git clone --depth 1 'https://github.com/unclereeemus/ytmp/'

cd ytmp

chmod +x ytmp mpv_socket_commands mpv_socket_selector run_on_next

(link/move ytmp to one of your paths like) [ln/mv] ytmp /home/$USER/.local/bin/

(if intending to use n/vim) mv ytmp.vim ~/.config/nvim/

(and move run_on_next to ~/Music/ytmp/ where it's looked for by default; if you move it elsewhere, change the location in the conf file which is also sourced from ~/Music/ytmp/ by default)

the mpv ipc socket is opened at /tmp/mpvsocketytmp

On first installing ytmp, there won't be any history to select from when you enter ytmp so either pass arguements from the cli with ytmp [S] or to search what's on the fzf input field press ctrl-x or to background search press ctrl-s / ctrl-z (difference explained in ytmp h)

chmod +x mus

eww -c . open/close musicplayer or mv {eww.scss,eww.yuck,mus} ~/.config/eww; eww open/close musicplayer

the thumbnail is located at /tmp/muscover.webp

mpv_socket_selector prints a menu of active mpv sockets and puts the selected one in /tmp/active_mpvsocket

mpv_socket_commands sends commands to the mpv socket in /tmp/active_mpvsocket or another specfied with st option

run_on_next runs on the start of every song which can be used to keep some consistent settings within mpv (volume, loop, seek, etc)

eww.scss/eww.yuck contain the eww music widget

mus is used by the eww config for various information

mightfinduseful a script to play music outside of ytmp either with local files, youtube search, or the ytmp queue file. also dynamically names the mpvsocket so you don't overwrite an old one.

ytmp.vim a vim config with useful keybinds relevant to ytmp

ytmpsuite for oneliners or automation of things like toggling lines in run_on_next, selecting queues, creating playlists, etc.

• convert spotify playlists to something ytmp can use: export the playlist to csv with https://github.com/watsonbox/exportify then run cut -d'"' --output-delimiter=' ' -f4,8 PLAYLIST_PATH.csv | sed -n 1d | sed -E -e 's/[_[:alnum:]]* ?\(?R?r?emaster[ed]?\)? ?[_[:alnum:]]*//g' -e 's/ ?- ?/ /g' -e 's/ //g' | xargs -d '\n' -I ',,' yt-dlp --print id --print title ytsearch1:",, auto-generated provided to youtube" | paste -s -d ' \n' > file

• get the $num songs immediately before and after currently playing: num=3; line=$( grep -n '\*\*\*$' /home/$USER/Music/ytmp/queue | cut -d':' -f1 ); sed -n "$( echo "${line}-${num}" | bc )","$( echo "${line}+${num}" | bc )"p /home/$USER/Music/ytmp/queue | cut -d' ' -f2- or send a notification: num=1; line=$( grep -n '\*\*\*$' /home/$USER/Music/ytmp/queue | cut -d':' -f1 ); notify-send "$( sed -n "$( echo "${line}-${num}" | bc )","$( echo "${line}+${num}" | bc )"p /home/$USER/Music/ytmp/queue | cut -d' ' -f2- )"

• to play a random song once, run grep -c '' "/home/$USER/Music/ytmp/queue" | xargs seq | shuf -n 1 | xargs ytmp e

• you don't need to use ytmp to make playlists for it! you could do yt-dlp --print id --print title '<playlist_url>' | paste -s -d ' \n' > file or to search for playlists from the terminal: query='SEARCH' && pipe-viewer --no-interactive -sp --custom-playlist-layout='*VIDEOS*VIDS *TITLE* *URL*' "$query" | fzf --bind='alt-a:beginning-of-line,alt-e:end-of-line,ctrl-a:execute(echo {} | awk "{print $NF}" | xargs -0 -I ",," pipe-viewer --custom-layout="*AUTHOR* *TIME* *TITLE*" --no-interactive ",," | fzf)' | awk '{print $NF}' | xargs -0 -I ',,' yt-dlp --print id --print title ',,' | paste -s -d ' \n' > file

• to sort your play history by how many times you've listened to something use sort -nk2 "/home/$USER/Music/ytmp/played_urls" | less

• if you wanted to move multiple songs to one position i.e. the end you could use something like echo '3,6,27,18' | xargs -d ',' -I '{}' ytmp m '{}' 'l' (replacing the numbers and 'l' with 'p' or the proper positions of course)

• you can make a scratchpad (i recommend tdrop if your wm doesn't support them) of ytmp E which can be your one stop for music management (you can invoke ytmp with keybindings by using the vim config provided)

• this is a fork of the now deleted repo ifeelalright1970/ytmp with additional features and bug fixes
