|
|||
Shelltube is quite simple to use; this tutorial will go over
|
||||
the usage of the wrapper script, shelltube.sh.
|
||||
When running the script, you'll see a prompt:
|
||||
\>\>
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
>>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In this prompt you can type any of the following commands:
|
||||
(!) about
|
||||
*View the about page.*
|
||||
(cls) clear
|
||||
*Clear the screen.*
|
||||
(dl) download [URL]
|
||||
*Download the selected/specified video.*
|
||||
exit
|
||||
*Exit Shelltube.*
|
||||
(?) help
|
||||
*Display this message.*
|
||||
(md) metadata [URL]
|
||||
*Display selected/specified video's MD.*
|
||||
(/) search {term}
|
||||
*Perform a search.*
|
||||
(str) stream [URL]
|
||||
*Stream the selected/specified video.*
|
||||
(sel) video {URL}
|
||||
*Select video based on URL or ID.*
|
||||
|
||||
In (parenthesis), smaller aliases for the commands are written.
|
||||
In {curly brackets}, required arguments are written.

You can use Shelltube in one of two ways (or both):
|
||||
**A)** By selecting a video and then doing something with it
|
||||
**B)** By doing something and specifying the video
|
||||
|
||||
Method A entails using either the "video" or "search" command
|
||||
to select a video, which will then be displayed before the prompt
|
||||
like so:
|
||||
$VIDEO-ID-HERE \>\>
|
||||
When a video is selected, you use the "download", "stream", or
|
||||
"metadata" commands without arguments to act on the video.

||||

|
||||
`metadata` commands while using a URL or video ID as an
|
||||
argument.

You could opt to not use this interactive wrapper script and instead

just use the yt-down.sh, yt-search.sh, and yt-metadata.sh scripts
|

on their own.
