ytfeed(6) is a small and simple YouTube client made using menu(1). ytfeed(6)
|
||||
exists as a demonstration of menu(1), menu(1) was written as a component of
|
||||
ytfeed(6), and they were both written for my own personal use.
|
||||
|
||||
There are many components of ytfeed that work independently of it.
|
||||
|
||||
ytfeed.aggregate(1) is a tool to merge many catenated YouTube RSS feeds into
|
||||
one XML-compliant document. The invocation
|
||||
`cat feed.xml feed2.xml | ytfeedmerge`, for example, assuming the given XML
|
||||
files are YouTube RSS feeds, will output a single YouTube RSS feed containing
|
||||
the entries from both feeds.
|
||||
|
||||
ytfeed.dl(1) is a tool to download a YouTube RSS feed using curl(1) or wget(1)
|
||||
and store it in the location used by ytfeed(6).
|
||||
|
||||
The Python programs are especially short, exclusively use Python's standard
|
||||
library, and are written to (hopefully) work on a reasonably recent Python 3
|
||||
interpreter. Unfortunately Python will probably shit itself anyway when you try
|
||||
to run them. For what it's worth, they're Python programs because most Linux
|
||||
distributions come with Python 3 and it's one of few languages with XML parsing
|
||||
as part of the standard library - I figured it'd be less hassle than vendoring
|
||||
a dependency or (woe be unto those who think it) relying on whatever awful
|
||||
package managers the user has installed.
