说明
youtube-viewer is a command-line client for searching, streaming, and downloading YouTube videos directly from the terminal. It queries the YouTube API, presents numbered search results, and launches your chosen media player for playback. Multiple video players are supported including mpv, VLC, and MPlayer, configurable with the --player option. Audio-only mode (-n / --novideo) streams just the audio track, reducing bandwidth usage. The -d flag downloads videos locally instead of streaming them. Channel browsing (-u) lists uploads from specific creators, -sc searches for channels, and --trending shows currently trending videos. Resolution can be controlled with -r and fullscreen playback enabled with -f. Playlist support is available with -sp for searching and --pid for playing by playlist ID.
