Make a CLI version of cobalt

Open RGBCube opened this issue 2 years ago • 15 comments

A simple CLI tool that is used like cobalt <url> would be great, used for downloading stuff to the cli. it would print the contents of the video/thing there at the url to stdout so it could integrate with the shell better.

plus it would be all local for speed and to not rely on external services.

why not use yt-dlp?

does that support Instagram / Twitter / etc etc?

@RGBCube yes. it supports hundreds if not thousands of websites: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md

Oh, I did not know that. Then this issue is resolved. Thanks a lot

could you reopen this issue please? while the above might solve your use case, this is a feature that I think is worthwhile to implement for cobalt.

duuude i was just thinking into trying to make something like that, so i scoured through the issues and found this, i totally agree with this, it would only make the project better overall in my honest opinion

i've already did so, i'm thinking into trying to mantain it as a AUR package too, i think it would be pretty cool to have it on there, never did it before so it would be a cool learning experience

falcie1337 avatar Feb 03 '24 01:02 falcie1337

Sure, I'd be awesome. I think I'll add to scoop once it reaches 50 stars (I think thats the minimum).

lostdusty avatar Feb 04 '24 00:02 lostdusty

Wasn't able to find an AUR package for it, so I made one

could you also add it to Homebrew?
