Forgot to mention that mpv is how I actually watch the videos. Newsboat downloads a list from each channel kinda like an RSS feed. I can then select any video & download it by pressing a keybinding. It's been a while since I last had to actually set this up, but off memory, here's some quick info....

The file ~/.newsboat/urls contains URLs similar to the one below. Just replace CHANNEL_ID with the actual channel ID. You can find the channel ID in the URL of the channel's page..

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID

With the URLs in place you can edit your newsboat config file to set up a key binding for downloading videos using yt-dlp. It should be as simple as adding something like the following to the config..

macro d set browser "yt-dlp %u"; open-in-browser ; set browser "xdg-open %u"

This binds the d key to use yt-dlp to download videos.

This was a cool read. Thanks for sharing :) I've been an XFCE user since 2002 & can confirm that as a longtime user I've never really encountered anything other than a few small problems....

Not upgrading your system for like 6 months is a really bad practice that should not be recommended ever. If you don't want to upgrade your system all that often, then why not install something like Debian instead of a rolling distro?

There's nothing wrong with using something like KDE. I myself use XFCE. Use whatever you like and are comfortable with....

Fair, fair....

Been using XFCE on Linux for somewhere around 20 years. In the new year I wish to try switching fulltime to a wm & maybe even wayland....

Again I'd just like to thank you for all the hard work you & all the other devs are putting into working on fixing everything that broke with this upgrade....

The year was 2002 & I was fed up with windows for various reasons. Connected to the internet looking for a windows alternative & ended up finding slackware. Installed slackware & got it somewhat working. Happily used it for a short while, before moving on to Fedora Core when it was released....
