peertube-cli

A CLI client for peertube

Why?

JavaScript sucks and i'm not willing to enable it.

How?

./peertube-cli <search query>

If search query is not given, peertube-cli will prompt an interactive search.

TODO

• Config file [X]
• let user select video player (through config file) [X]
• getopt for instance, and maybe video player :^) [X]
• Directly pass an URL to play the video (Get UUID from url and call get_video_data()

Options

• --instance instance to use. $config{instance} in .ptclirc.
• --resolution resolution to use. 0 should be the highest while n is the lowlest $config{resolution} in .ptclirc.
• --player player to use (e.g. mpv, vlc...). $config{player} in .ptclirc.

Tricks

Download a video: set "wget" as as player.

Bugs

Sure.
