The first release of Cinema: YouTube videos on Haiku and RenkuOS, found with yt-dlp and played by MediaPlayer.

The videos of a category

What it does

  • Videos as big pictures, in tabs: searches, or channels whose latest videos are shown.
  • The channel of each video under its title: a click shows its latest videos, and the + button (or a right click) keeps it among the tabs.
  • Downloads to watch offline: D or a right click, with a progress bar and a notification. The files go to ~/Cinema and are listed in the Downloaded tab, which works without the network.
  • Enter or Space to play, F for full screen, Esc to go back.
  • English, Italian, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Packages

File For
cinema-1.0.0-1-x86_64.hpkg Haiku x86_64 (built and tested on hrev60314)
cinema-1.0.0-1-arm.hpkg RenkuOS on 32-bit ARM, ARMv7 with VFPv3-D16 and no NEON (Toshiba AC100)
pkgman install cinema-1.0.0-1-x86_64.hpkg

On x86_64, pkgman also installs Python and the yt-dlp module from HaikuPorts.

On ARM, put the single-file yt-dlp in the PATH first:

mkdir -p ~/config/non-packaged/bin
curl -L -o ~/config/non-packaged/bin/yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp
chmod +x ~/config/non-packaged/bin/yt-dlp

YouTube changes often: when videos stop being found, a newer yt-dlp usually helps.
