[GUIDE] How to use xine and yt-dlp with gtk-pipe-viewer without having to download the video#186

Hi! First of all, thank you a lot for making pipe-viewer and gtk-pipe-viewer! I've been trying to play 720p videos on a 20 year old laptop, and while the internet browsers only allowed me to play flawlessly 480p videos (on the 3 fastest browsers, tested among other browsers - starting from fastest to slowest: qutebrowser, falkon and epiphany), only xine, yt-dlp and gtk-pipe-viewer combined played 720p videos almost without a problem. I've tested VLC, mpv and other players, but they still couldn't handle 720p in a nice fashion. This is the configuration that I used in the settings of gtk-pipe-viewer: ``` resolution="" video_player_selected=> "xine" xine => { arg => "-f '[height<=720]/mp4a' -o - *URL* | \nxine stdin:// --no-splash --no-logo -f", audio => "", cmd => "yt-dlp", fs => "", srt => "", } ``` Maybe this will be useful to someone. Cheers! P.S: I had to use at least python3.8 to be able to get yt-dlp running on its latest stable version, otherwise it wouldn't work. I also had to install yt-dlp in a python3.8 venv to avoid some issues. Note to self: Unlike qutebrowser (way faster than falkon; 480p runs fine) and falkon (480p runs fine), epiphany makes cloudflare checkup work, it also supports captchas, but its graphics performance is bad, even for 480p.
