ytplay.el
Introduction
ytplay.el is a utility for playing YouTube videos (mainly, not tested
with other websites) from Emacs in an external video player.
This package is geared towards Linux users in particular, but PR for adding support for other operating systems are welcome!

Installation
A couple of options are available for installing ytplay.el. The first
one is to clone the repository in your load-path and add the following
to your .emacs or your init.el:
(require 'ytplay)
In my case, I prefer using use-package with straight:
(use-package ytplay
:ensure t
:defer t
:straight (ytplay :type git
:host nil
:repo "https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/ytplay.el"))
I personally also added :build t in the straight recipe to ensure
Emacs compiles my package, both to .elc and .eln files (I am on Emacs
28.0, feature/native-comp got merged into master!)
There is probably a similar way to install it with pure straight.el or
quelpa, but I’m not knowledgable enough for that, feel free to create
a PR to add some more installation instructions!
There is currently no plans of making this package available on MELPA or non-gnu elpa.
Customizing
For now, only one variable can be edited by the user in order to
configure ytplay.el:
-
ytplay-video-player - Executable name of your video player. It can
be either its name if it is present on your
$PATH, or a path to the executable. Default value:"mpv"
