mpv/scripts/youtube-search.lua

--[[
    This script allows users to search and open youtube results from within mpv.
    Available at: https://github.com/CogentRedTester/mpv-scripts

    Users can open the search page with Y, and use Y again to open a search.
    Alternatively, Ctrl+y can be used at any time to open a search.
    Esc can be used to close the page.
    Enter will open the selected item, Shift+Enter will append the item to the playlist.

    This script requires that my other scripts `scroll-list` and `user-input` be installed.
    scroll-list.lua and user-input-module.lua must be in the ~~/script-modules/ directory,
    while user-input.lua should be loaded by mpv normally.

    https://github.com/CogentRedTester/mpv-scroll-list
    https://github.com/CogentRedTester/mpv-user-input

    This script also requires a youtube API key to be entered.
    The API key must be passed to the `API_key` script-opt.
    A personal API key is free and can be created from:
    https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtube.googleapis.com/

    The script also requires that curl be in the system path.

    An alternative to using the official youtube API is to use Invidious.
    This script has experimental support for Invidious searches using the 'invidious',
    'API_path', and 'frontend' options. API_path refers to the url of the API the
    script uses, Invidious API paths are usually in the form:
        https://domain.name/api/v1/
    The frontend option is the url to actualy try to load videos from. This
    can probably be the same as the above url:
        https://domain.name
    Since the url syntax seems to be identical between Youtube and Invidious,
    it should be possible to mix these options, a.k.a. using the Google
    API to get videos from an Invidious frontend, or to use an Invidious
    API to get videos from Youtube.
    The 'invidious' option tells the script that the API_path is for an
    Invidious path. This is to support other possible API options in the future.
