# mpv-youtube-queue
<div align="center">
A Lua script that implements the YouTube 'Add to Queue' functionality for mpv
</div>
![mpv-youtube-queue image](.assets/mpv-youtube-queue.png)
## Features
- Add videos to a queue from the clipboard
- Works with links from any site
[supported by yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md "yd-dlp supported sites page")
- An interactive menu to show the queue, to select a video to play, or to edit the order of the queue
- Customizable keybindings to interact with the currrently playing video and the
queue
- Open the URL or channel page of the currently playing video in a new browser tab
- Download a video in the queue using yt-dlp
- Customizable download options
- Integrates with the internal mpv playlist
## 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](./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.
## Requirements
This script requires the following software to be installed on the system
- [xclip](https://github.com/astrand/xclip)
- [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp)
## Installation
- Copy the `mpv-youtube-queue.lua` script to your `~~/scripts` directory
(`~/.config/mpv` on Linux)
- Optionally copy the `mpv-youtube-queue.conf` to the `~~/script-opts` directory
to customize the script configuration as described in the next section
