    Fascinating! How’s it compare to youtube-tui? I’m really interested in starting to use a program like this… the YouTube website is so unbearably slow.

      As a matter of fact it is one of the scripts that I cannot do without, I use it everyday, it is very convenient. But then again I wrote it myself, so I can’t be objective.
