SHELLTUBE Shell scripts for easy YT-browsing
===============================================================================
shelltube will be a collection of (pretty POSIX) shell scripts to
browse YouTube quickly, and entirely without captive UIs.
Right now, there's only one script, yt-search
shelltube is written in pure shell; its only dependencies
are any modern shell (pdksh, bash, zsh) and curl/wget/ftp.
Your terminal should accept ANSI color-codes, too~
Before, shelltube was a set of scripts that culimated in a wrapper
script for browsing Youtube (like mpsyt). You could even download
videos from YT in pure shell! But, now, all videos require JS execution
to download (as far as I can tell), so it stopped working.
Now I'm refocusing a bit, ditching the wrapper script (begone, captive UIs,
ye spectre of ole!), and starting from scratch. :)

USAGE
----------------------------------------
There is one script that makes up shelltube:
* yt-search
yt-search lists videos matching a certain search query.
USAGE: yt-search [-csmb] query
Each option [-csmb] represents a different format-method.
-b big TITLE \n DURATION | VIEWS | URL
-m medium TITLE | DURATION | URL
-s small TITLE | URL
-c compact TITLE | ID
Big takes up two lines, while the rest only use one.
If you're piping output, you might wanna usa -m, -s, or -c.
There is another script that comes with shelltube (which it uses
extensively:
* gendl
gendl can download files on a system that has at least one of these:
* ftp
* wget
* curl
... to stdout or to a file.
yt-search uses gendl--
so make sure they're both in the same directory (or, at least, that
gendl is in your $PATH)
