This is a TUI tool to monitor YouTube channels for new videos and keep track of which ones you've watched already.
|
|
This tool is work in progress and some functions might not work (correctly).
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
#### Requirements:
|
|
* Linux (other platforms are untested and likely require additional work)
|
|
* A modern, C++17 capable compiler
|
|
* meson
|
|
* ninja
|
|
* pkg-config
|
|
* Installed (it may also be required to install separate development packages) and accesible via pkg-config:
|
|
* [libcurl](https://curl.se)
|
|
* [nlohmann-json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json) (at least version 3.5.0)
|
|
* [sqlite3](https://sqlite.org)
|
|
* [termpaint](https://github.com/termpaint/termpaint)
|
|

|
#### How to build
|
|
1. Create a build folder.
|
|
1. Configure the project by running e.g. `meson setup /path/to/build/dir` in the source directory. See `meson setup --help` for available configuration options.
|
|
1. Build the application with `meson compile -C /path/to/build/dir`.
|
|
1. You can now start the application by running `/path/to/build/dir/yttui` (but have a look at the configuration options first).
|
|
1. Optionally you can install the application by running `meson install -C /path/to/build/dir`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Getting started
|
|
1. Build (and optionally install) the application
|
|
1. Get a YouTube API key.
|
|
1. Create a configuration file.
|
|
- You can either put it next to the application binary or in `$HOME/.config/yttui.conf`
|
|
- Have a look at `yttui.conf.example`. It contains all possible configuration options and is a good place to start.
|
|
- Configuration default values are described in "Configuration options".
|
|
1. Start the application. You can press `F1` at any time to get help and `C-q` (holding down the control key and pressing q) to quit.
