    Imcat is awesome, Debian and had a news reader with the same name.

    MPV refuses to play any YouTube for me I suspect it has something to do with their new restrictions on YouTube DL.

    Browsh looks absolutely magnificent until I actually try to use it, It seems like submitting form pages or maybe JavaScript is broken

      You’ can try installing yt-dlp. That one is still actively maintained. YouTube also actively trying to broke it, so the one available in debian repo might be out of date.

        looks like it is using DLP backend, didn’t read the whole error

        [ytdl_hook] ERROR: [youtube] BBJa32lCaaY: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on  https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest version using  yt-dlp -U
        [ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred
        Failed to recognize file format.
        

        Let’s hope youtube hasn’t finally ground the project permanently

          At the risk of being a ‘works for me’ guy, I tried downloading and playing a couple random videos and it worked on version 2023.07.06. So hopefully yt-dlp is alive and kicking!
