To start Youtube Viewer with this option: youtube-viewer -video-player=mplayer -novideo Just like MPS from the other answer, it is meant to search, play and download youtube streams, only that by default it will play the video and not just the audio stream. In spite of what is said at the link above, it works fine with mplayer. (more here) can be adjusted to play only sound.įor *ubuntu: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 More on playing embedded videos in external players, in this superuser question.Īlso, an idea is that using certain internet browsers (Seamonkey, Epiphany etc - but not Firefox and Chrome), an Youtube title could be dragged and dropped onto mpv or a mpv fron-tend to play Youtube videos.įor the present purpose those players should be started with a 'no video' argument.
To use the 'no-video' arguments with the Firefox addons, the way to do it is like so for Flashgot: It will start after a few seconds, some players after more than others. With the Flashgot addon in Firefox by adding the external player as Flashgot "downloader" (like here) and then, after starting the youtube video in Firefox, using Flashgot to play only the audio stream by going to 'Available formats/DASH (separate audio and video tracks)' and selecting the specific audio track.It supports more than Youtube (Baidu, Video etc) and has a setting to play only audio:
They can then be found when right-clicking a title and selecting 'Open audio'.Ĭan be found as deb and other formats here.
Then select and/or add players to be used, and edit their setting to play also audio (for video players) or only audio, for audio players like Audacious. It has a setting to add/use different players and also an option to select only audio. It is able search, list and play Youtube videos, and is meant to work with SMPlayer, but can be used separately. In order to select only the audio stream and send it to a player (video players like SMPlayer, VLC, mpv, mplayer, Dragon Player, Totem, but also audio players like Audacious):
