YTFS - File system which enables you to search and play movies from YouTube as files - with tools of your choice. Based on FUSE, written in Python 3.

Dependencies, manual and documentation: Read the Docs

Installation

You can install YTFS with pip:

You need Python 3.4 or newer.

Usage

Here some basics are shown. See documentation for more detailed description.

Mount

Mount YTFS in an empty directory, for example:

$ mkdir youtube
$ ytfs youtube

Playback

You can use search results as regular files. Open them with your favourite player, for example:

$ mkdir "rick astley"
$ cd rick\ astley
$ mplayer "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up.mp4"

Or you can copy them on your hard drive:

$ cp "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up.mp4" ~/youtube-collection/

Dependencies

If you mount YTFS with options to download full videos at heighest quality, then audio and video merging may be needed. In such case FFmpeg or Libav is required.
