Watching YouTube on a browser is too heavy for my Celeron N4020, so I wrote this minimal Bash script as a workaround.

A blazing fast, lightweight CLI YouTube player using yt-dlp, fzf, and mpv.

Inspired by the amazing ani-cli.

• yt-dlp (Fetching links)
• fzf (Interactive UI)
• mpv (Video Player)
• ffmpeg (Merging 1080p video & audio)
• gawk (String parsing)

The easiest way to install on Arch-based distributions:

yay -S vid-cli-git

For other distributions or manual installation:

git clone https://github.com/Renxznm/vid-cli.git
cd vid-cli
sudo cp vid-cli /usr/bin/vid-cli
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/vid-cli
