Description

YouTube videos can be searched and watched from a lightweight Linux client with CLI and GTK modes. This Git fork is useful for users who want a smaller interface than a full browser for online video. It is run with the pipe-viewer command. Video clients contact online services and can expose searches, watch history, and region-specific content, so privacy settings and account use need care.

How to run

pipe-viewer

Commands: pipe-viewer
