mpv-youtube-queue

A Lua script for mpv that allows you to add YouTube videos to a queue, navigate through the queue, and select a video to play.

Features

• Add YouTube videos to a queue from the clipboard
• Fetch and display the video and channel names of the videos in the queue
• Select a video to play from the queue with an interactive menu, or navigate through the queue with keyboard shortcuts
• Open the URL of the currently playing video in a new browser tab
• Open the channel page of the currently playing video
• Download the currently playing video

Notes

• This script uses the Linux xclip utility to read from the clipboard. If you're on macOS or Windows, you'll need to adjust the clipboard_command config variable in mpv-youtube-queue.conf
• When adding videos to the queue, the script fetches the video name using yt-dlp. Ensure you have yt-dlp installed and in your PATH.

• xclip
• yt-dlp

Installation
